    First, I highly appreciate they allowed me for a very early check in due to my train schedule arrival in Rovaniemi. And then I had the most excellent breakfast. Every single dish served was delicious , exceed any expectations. In the evening , I decided to have dinner in the hotel restaurant , and, again , with compliment to the chef, the meal was divine. Friendly and helpful staff as well both in the hotel and restaurant.

    The Arctic Light was an excellent place for our first trip north of the Arctic Circle!

    The carpet in the Arctic Loft (name of our room) needs to be cleaned or replaced.

    Buffet breakfast was outstanding, staff was friendly and helpful, with a special nod to Waldemar, our waiter the night we dined at the attached Arctic Boulevard Restaurant (which was also our best meal during our ten-day stay in Finland), location in central Rovaniemi is great, decor is very rustic Arctic.

    Very minor detail, but something easily improved. There was only a half a roll of toilet paper in the room. Would be nice to have a spare roll in the cupboard somewhere, so visitor doesn't have to request it from reception.

    Service was attentive. Great thing about the room was that air conditioning actually worked and it was possible to set to a comfortable level. Many hotels have air con, but temperature cannot be adjusted. Breakfast was great. Convenient location for business.

    I still love this hotel and will always come back.

    I miss some of the cocktails the hotel used to serve, especially the Tulle (sp), which sadly nobody knows how to make now. I think in the past the bartender must have just known how to make a lot of outstanding drinks and when he left, they left, too. It's a small detail, but those little touches like specialty drinks, really make an impression.

    I was one of the first guests at this hotel the first week it opened and I will always stay here when in Rovaniemi. It is still my favorite hotel in Europe, though I will admit that the first cook the hotel had (years ago) cannot be topped and I miss some of the entrees from earlier visits. The room is very comfortable, though if you get a room where the sun beats through the window, you'll need to turn off the heat and crack open a window. Everyone working at the front desk is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is still the best of all places I stay in Germany and Finland. On this visit,I ate dinner at the hotel every day and it was excellent. I particularly loved the salad and the reindeer tartare. Waldemar, the server, does his best to please. Finally, it is nice to be able to reserve the sauna for personal use, and it is a good one. For first time visitors. . . if you appreciate art, do not miss the Korundi. The curator there is outstanding. If you get the Culture Pass, it allows you to go to Korundi, Arktikum, and Pilke as many times as you like for a week. All three museums are really good. I went to Korundi every day I was there. Also, be sure to find out if there are any concerts or dance concerts at the Korundi while you are there. Fun place.

    The pillow (I am very precise about the pillow, sorry..)

    The bed was super comfortable but the pillow was a disappointment because lumpy, not like I was expecting in a four star hotel. The staff. The guys at the reception delivered a very good customer service (Max?). Thank you! :) Also the floor custodian who made the extra bed for our baby. Kiitos! :) The breakfast was great but not exceptional.. some small details that annoyed but maybe just a matter of taste. I was missing a small tray for all those little shot glasses and not having to walk back and forth for so many times...

    There is not something that we did not like. If I had to mention something is that there should be a little more space for a second suitcase in the room. Other than that everything exceeded our expectations.

    Very warm room, nice decoration, stuff is very friendly. Breakfast is great with lots of options and local tastes. The location of the hotel is superb right in the center of the city, within walking distance from everything.

    There is nothing we didn't like

    I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The location is very central to everything - within walking distance of restaurants, shops, travel centers etc. The breakfast is delicious, there is plenty of choice for everyone. The rooms are very large and extremely comfortable, slept so well every night. The rain showers are exceptional especially after a long day of outdoor activities in the cold and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was lush. The staff at reception are so friendly and helpful with every inquiry we had, nothing was too much trouble at any time of day or night. The bus for Santa Claus village & airport is just outside the back door of the hotel so very easy to access. If you are considering booking this hotel don't hesitate you will not be disappointed.
