At Hotel Aakenus, travellers highlight the walkable location near Rovaniemi’s center, generally friendly, helpful staff, and a decent breakfast, while noting dated, compact rooms and very small wet-room style bathrooms that would benefit from refurbishment.
Guests appreciate the small sauna, but several mention temperature control and noise issues, inconsistent housekeeping, and occasional maintenance problems such as nonworking fridges or TVs. Some stays include a simple dinner buffet, parking is convenient, and there is no elevator. Prices can spike in peak seasons, so expect a basic, older property that works well as a practical base.

Dette er et hotell mitt i byen, har greie rom og en grei frokost for er rimelig pris. Hotellet har en hyggelig betjening som gjør oppholdet trivelig. Det eneste som er kjedelig er at badstua kun er åpen på kvelden. Alt i alt et flott hotell også for barne familier

Hotel was about a 2 block walk from downtown. Plenty of on site parking. Room was a decent size and clean. Came with bed sheets and towels. There's a mini fridge and small coffee station. The only "issue" I had was that check in was at 3pm. We had arrived at 1pm. They do have a luggage area so you can walk around without your bags until checkin

Old small hotel in Rovaniemi, the location is convenient, staff extremely amicable and friendly. The only inconvenients are the stairs since there are no elevators and the room’s bathroom which is very small. However, if you are staying for just a few nights, I think the hotel is a good option.

The hotel is close to the city center and a very convenient mall and restaurants. Great location. Only 9 minutes walking if there is not ice. Lordi Square, Nili restaurant, Pure burger and more all by walking distance even the bus to Santa Calus Village and airport. At the mall there is a Article Park office where you can be able to book the aurora tour and more. Also a supermarket. The breakfast is good many options. Sauna available only two hours based in a schedule. A little expensive but is close to de city. I booked two weeks before and l stayed four nights.

Pros... Hotel is in best location near to city centre.walkable to city centre.All staff is very helpful and warm welcoming.Especially Himalaya is very knowledgeable and helful Cons.. First TV doesn't have access to many channels you need your own account. In my room some channel is not working which is a basic channel , I called the staff but no he was not able to fix it. In the shower the drainage stingy smell is coming.shower gel was almost empty that was supposed to check byhousekeeping, needs to check before guest arrival. Breakfast is very basic everyday.Hotel suppose to add some more fruits and vegetarian options .Even inform on desk and housekeeping for daily cleaning they missed .The housekeeping department needs to be not providing great service. This is our personal opinion because we stayed there.

If you're looking for luxurious accommodations, I'd pass. It's a little rustic. Almost spartan. But it was clean, quiet, comfortable, very friendly staff, and great breakfast buffet! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good deal and a good meal.

Like other reviews have said, the rooms are tiny and theres no stairs - but the clerk carried my luggage up and I wasnt spending much time in the room anyway. Within easy walking distance of town, staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to help. The guy who checked me in was incredible, 10/10. I thought it was cozy despite being outdated. Its servicable and warm, but nothing luxurious. Id stay there again in a heartbeat.

Bathroom very small and wet. Bifold door jammed took ages to close shower. Triangular shower too small for a 6.4 man. Kettle was rusty and had mould inside, had to get a replacement. Fridge wasn't working and Tv was not connected properly. Corridor had very old carpet. Food wasn't great. Bread was great cuz it was not baked by them and rest was just very ordinary for a $4000 4 night. All the reviews was good so I booked here but it turns out shocking how people did not complain about the price vs quality. Sauna was good though. Not posh but very effective.

We arrived before 8am. Not only were we able to leave our luggages before check in, Greta offered to give us towels and let us use the spa area to shower and freshen up before our tours. Though we didn’t need to do so, the extent the staff went to make sure we’re comfortable and well settled before we even check in is such a nice gesture. The breakfast provided is good and the room is comfortable.

Das Hotel ist gut gelegen, Frühstücksbuffett war sehr lecker. Leider wurden wir beim Empfang zunächst abgewiesen, da dass Hotel überbucht war. Wir könnten ja dafür in ein "viel besseres Hotel" umziehen. Das war sehr ärgerlich, weil man uns nicht vorher informiert hatte. Nach einer langen Anreise waren wir müde und wollten nicht gleich wieder weiterziehen. Am Ende haben wir dann doch noch ein Zimmer bekommen. Trotzdem braucht man diesen Stress nicht.

Plein de conseils dès l'arrivé, avec un plan de ville donné en précisant les points et centres d'intérêts, les meilleurs restaurants, et les différents lieux utiles (pharmacie, supermarchés, arrêts de bus...) La chambre est propre, le petit déjeuner gourmand. De plus, le personnel reste disponible en cas de besoins (pour préparer un sandwich en plus pour notre fils avant une excursion notamment).

Staff was not available. During the check-in, we only got our key room, no maps, recomendations, indications, nothing. The omelette had bolied eggs (presumably leftovers) and the food selection was poor. Very small room, shower and maintenance needed. The only good thing is location. Walking distance from the city centre, shoping mall and restaurants.

I was supposed to stay in Rovaniemi for one night and next morning fly out to Helsinki. My flight got canceled and my only option was to take an overnight train from Rov to Helsinki. I tried to explain my situation to the front desk staff and she was completely unhelpful. That same rude woman also checked in my friend and he had asked if he could do early check in (not an uncommon thing to ask if hotels can accommodate when rooms are available). Her response was, "Did you read the booking information?" Also asked if he could leave his bags until check in (another common request) and she was short about that and said he could do what he wants with the bags. My only negative experience my whole week trip in Norway/Finland was this hotel.

Hotel was about a 2 block walk from downtown. Plenty of on site parking. Room was a decent size and clean. Came with bed sheets and towels. There's a mini fridge and small coffee station. The only "issue" I had was that check in was at 3pm. We had arrived at 1pm. They do have a luggage area so you can walk around without your bags until checkin

Har bott på hotellet 2 somrar i samband med det traditionella besöket hos tomten på midsommaraftonen. Perfekt läge på promenadavstånd från Rovaniemis centrum och Arcticum och det nya skogs-museet. Enkelt att hitta när man kommer med bil och med fri parkering. Fullt tillräcklig frukost. Ett sommar-besök i Rovaniemi rekommenderas.

Veldig hyggelig personale. Litt retro rom, men veldig rent og pent. Frokosten var god og trygg parkering i bakgården. Kort vei til sentrum. Anbefales😊

The hotel is close to the city center and a very convenient mall and restaurants. Great location. Only 9 minutes walking if there is not ice. Lordi Square, Nili restaurant, Pure burger and more all by walking distance even the bus to Santa Calus Village and airport. At the mall there is a Article Park office where you can be able to book the aurora tour and more. Also a supermarket. The breakfast is good many options. Sauna available only two hours based in a schedule. A little expensive but is close to de city. I booked two weeks before and l stayed four nights.

Pros... Hotel is in best location near to city centre.walkable to city centre.All staff is very helpful and warm welcoming.Especially Himalaya is very knowledgeable and helful Cons.. First TV doesn't have access to many channels you need your own account. In my room some channel is not working which is a basic channel , I called the staff but no he was not able to fix it. In the shower the drainage stingy smell is coming.shower gel was almost empty that was supposed to check byhousekeeping, needs to check before guest arrival. Breakfast is very basic everyday.Hotel suppose to add some more fruits and vegetarian options .Even inform on desk and housekeeping for daily cleaning they missed .The housekeeping department needs to be not providing great service. This is our personal opinion because we stayed there.

We had a wonderful time staying at the hotel it was in the perfect place very close to town. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty only complaint we had was buffet prices were changed half way through our stay and we weren’t told in advance only when we went to pay. Reception staff were very knowledgeable and went the extra mile finding a sledge for my daughter to enjoy the snow. Sauna was lovely, clean only thing to say is watch your head in the sauna as the ceiling is quite low

Great Location 4- 5 minutes walk to shops, restaurants and town square. Clean Comfortable rooms and bathroom , Older style but efficient with all amenities. Good Breakfast but be sure to go early because when they run out they do not refill. Disappointed child at 9.30 to find no bacon available. Reception Ladies were friendly and willing to offer assistance from finding Ice rink, restaurants or booking Taxi's.

L'accueil est très agréable ! Plein de conseils dès l'arrivé, avec un plan de ville donné en précisant les points et centres d'intérêts, les meilleurs restaurants, et les différents lieux utiles (pharmacie, supermarchés, arrêts de bus...) La chambre est propre, le petit déjeuner gourmand. De plus, le personnel reste disponible en cas de besoins (pour préparer un sandwich en plus pour notre fils avant une excursion notamment). Un vrai plaisir. La proximité avec le centre ville et les différents lieux d'intérêts rend cet hotel d'autant plus pratique.

Staff was not available. During the check-in, we only got our key room, no maps, recomendations, indications, nothing. The omelette had bolied eggs (presumably leftovers) and the food selection was poor. Very small room, shower and maintenance needed. The only good thing is location. Walking distance from the city centre, shoping mall and restaurants.

Really good budget hotel. Clean & everything you need. Easy walk into city centre. Was able to hire winter clothes through the hotel. Staff extremely friendly. 20euros for laundry. Breakfast range was good - cereal and hot food options. Dinner was amazing - 3 different hot meals, plus salad bar and soup options. Tea and coffee included. Only negative was the rooms were so so so cold.

The room was clean, but during the winter conditions, you should have the options to at least have your room swept. Front desk staff was not very friendly. Furniture in the lobby was not anything we would sit on. The most disappointing part was the shower. The shower head did not stay up, so you had to use the hand held head, the water ran out of the bottom of the shower stall, so you had to squeegee the water back under the shower door after you had to get wet, lather and then rinse off in there different steps. The location was not bad it was less than a 10 minute walk to the city center.

Very basic hotel, location is great but staff is not friendly at all, esp the blonde lady with glasses. Bed is very hard, thin mattress on divan. Pillow is very flimsy and uncomfortable. Bathroom has a bit of smell from the pipe, soap is terrible so bring your own. Breakfast was acceptable, not the best but at least there are some toast & jam.
