We have stayed here before and returned due to many factors. High quality rooms and amenities. Location of the hotel is perfect for any trip out. Views across the river are outstanding. Lots of parking spaces. Breakfast is great and the bar really good. The hotel has everything for families or couples.

Overall not a bad stay. We stayed 4 nights. The housekeeping could have been better and top up of tea/coffee/milk didnt happen. The family room had a great view of the river and lumberjack bridge. Location is great with lots of shops/cafes/restaurants nearby. Bus to Santa claus village leaves right outside. Lots of options for breakfast. Swimming pool is on the cold side when you first get in but you get used to it, maybe too cold for very small kids.

Staff were extremely helpful. Breakast was super. We had a newly renovated room with a river view which was spectacular, and bunk beds which proved very popular. Location was perfect, close enough to everything but far enough away to feel like your not in the city...a lovely mix. Overall a fabulous stay. Would definitely recommend,

Very nice hotels with renovated rooms. Got a family room facing the lake in the second building above the Lapland Safari adventures shop. Elevator actually went straight into the Lapland Safari shop so I didn’t have to exit the building and wear tons of clothes in order to start my activities. The staff was super friendly and the hotel is close to the city center, shops and restaurants. The bus stop is right next to the building so if you didn’t want to use Uber, public transport was right there. I was traveling for work so needed a place that allowed me to work and have fun on my days off. The hotel was great for my 4night stay. Highly recommend for business or solo travelers like myself. Warm, renovated, cozy rooms with good WiFi and easy access to all Rovaniemi offers.

Good hotel. Excellent location. Great view of the river. New rooms. Not sure why reviews have the hotel as dated. Looks great. Just crazy at breakfast. Could have better coffee options.

Room was much nicer then the pictures make them look, was expecting budget travel lodge style from the photos bust actually really well done, good quality and lovely and warm, view was beautiful. I've seen comments about the tunnel, but it's not really that long and saves you going outside in the freezing temps to get to breakfast or the bar.
Staff were lovely, friendly and so helpful. Bus stop for Santa village/ park / airport just outside hotel (only real stop in the city for it) so perfectly located, breakfast was good and varied plenty of options for the whole family. If we were to come back we'd absolutely look to stay here again.

Wonderful hotel, our room was modern and clean and fitted 5 of us in (2A, 3C).
The bus from the airport and to SCV stops right outside. Our room overlooked the river, there are playgrounds and shops within walking distance.
We didn’t eat at the restaurant as the menu wasn't to our taste, but there are loads of places to eat nearby. But the breakfast had a good selection, and we all managed to find something to fill up on for the day!
Also to note there are multiple playrooms for kids in both the restaurant and main reception area, which our kids loved!
Would absolutely rebook this hotel in a heartbeat!

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room, however, felt a little small and lacking, and we expected a bit more considering the price we paid. The layout of the building was also quite unusual — the very long corridors leading to the rooms made it feel more like walking through an underground car park than a 4-star hotel.
The staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay, although on one occasion housekeeping knocked to clean the room quite late in the afternoon. Breakfast was enjoyable with plenty of hot and cold options, though a few items that should have been hot were on the cooler side. Still, there was a good overall selection.
We did enjoy our time at the hotel, but like much of Rovaniemi during this time of year, everything comes at a premium.

Location is great. Behind the hotel is the river with beautiful views, in front is a bus stop to Santa Claus village. Multiple restaurants and stores around and close to city center. It's just that we refused cleaning but housekeeper came anyway while we were out.

The room was large for a family of 4 and the kids loved the bunk beds. It was quiet and had a beautiful view of the river. I would highly recommend this hotel
