We had dinner in the lobby 2 nights as all the sandwiches were around 10€. restaurant upstairs was 19-38€ per main. breakfast was included and beautiful. peaceful looking out the snow covered trees. there isn’t a thing we would have changed. we have traveled all over the world in luxury and this hotel we would return to in a heart beat! We booked a year in advanced. didn’t rent a car, used taxis and tour shuttles and was super easy!

    The hotel, despite its remote location from the city centre and lack of public transportation options, is located in a natural forest park adjacent to a ski resort's chairlifts. The superior rooms and those offering views are notably pleasant. The restaurant and sky balcony have a very good view over the forest and Rovaniemi city. Both the breakfast and buffet (dinner) are commendable for their quality and variety.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay – the bed was exceptionally comfortable, the apartment boasted a modern and stylish design, and its proximity to the city center was convenient. What truly impressed me was the incredible support from the flat owner. She went above and beyond, assisting us in securing a last-minute car after our tour was unexpectedly canceled, ensuring we could still explore the Korouoma Canyon. I'm genuinely grateful for the exceptional service! I'd definitely stay again here for my next visit!
