It’s a hotel right at the city centre with easy access to shops and restaurants. Also, one of the main locations to get picked up for different activities and very friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent location in the city center of Rovaniemi. The hotel itself is rather functionally furnished, but offers all the amenities which a traveller might need. The breakfast is excellent and prepares you well for a day of exploration in Lapland. The friendly staff is an enormous asset - they helped us a few times with taxi bookings and even helped us to find an intercity bus schedule. The only downside is a somewhat neglected maintenance - there’s quite a bit of wall chipping which is probably a result of customers hitting them with big bags. However, those do not diminish the experience. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

A very welcoming hotel close to everything in town. Staff were so welcoming. The room was nice and clean. Very close to transportation to the train, airport and Santa’s village. I highly recommend this hotel.
