    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The centre of Rovaniemi is easy to get around and has plenty of shops and cafes, plus supermarkets if you're self-catering. It is a perfect snowy destination in winter. We visited the Snow Hotel (you need to dress up warmly as its pretty cold, but a vodka in the Ice Bar helps!) and also Santa Village, which is probably best for families with small children

    Loved everything about this hotel and would go back any time. We had the room with a sauna and it was so nice to come from the cold and just use the sauna. Breakfast was delicious and for dinner chose the 5 course Surprise Menu which was incredible. The ambience was lovely, they had candles everywhere and made it feel so cozy. Staff is helpful and friendly. The location is perfect, just outside the city near a beautiful forest with trails, perfect to relax.

    The host was very kind. He picked us up at the train station and gave us a small tour of the city by car, showing us the spots for the northern lights, the attractions that Rovaniemi has to offer, the restaurant where you can try typical food etc... He kept to be in contact with us to know if we needed any help and gave us more useful info. Overall our stay exceeded our expectations and we were mostly delighted by the kindness of the host. 100% recommended.

    the location is great and they had me in a river view room which was amazing. the buses out front to airport and Santa village are handy, and everything in town is accessible. I’ve stayed in Rovaniemi 6 times now and this was the first in this hotel. it was a bit confusing having to go underground through a tunnel to get to the other building, and instructions on how to access my room from that second building would of been handy to know at check in!

    Excellent location for going into Rovaniemi and access to Santa Village and attractions. Great for kids too as sledging and park opposite. Excellent facilities for washing and drying clothes too. The owner had excellent communication before our arrival and throughout our stay, giving us tips and tricks for getting around. I was really nervous about not using a mainstream hotel company but I was so happy! Really warm and quiet too!

    Hotel was exceptional in relation to activities for our 10 year old twins. From bowling to swimming pool with slide and soft play area with great value of €5 per child for 24 hours. Rooms were very spacious for the 4 of us with great facilities in the room. Great selection for breakfast with buffet style. Staff went above and beyond with any questions or requests we had. Will definitely be back again.

    We arrived at Rovaniemi airport around midnight and there were a lot of passengers but almost no taxis. With -28°C outside in a dark, wild night, it was quite stressful. However, after calling the reception, the lady quickly sent a taxi to us. We are really grateful. The hotel is well located and nice. The breakfast is really great with many local dishes and variety.

The lobby and winter terrace, as well as the restaurant of the hotel are comfortable and the food (restaurant + breakfast) are great. The sauna at the hotel was very much appreciated as well!

    If you want to be in the heart of Rovaniemi, this building is exactly there. Close to the shops, restaurants, tourist agencies, etc when it’s cold that is important… no breakfast at the hotel itself but hostel Koti just across the street offers a basic but excellent price/quality breakfast that you can book via the hotel.

    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.
