Our experience at the Nova Hotel in Rovaniemi was simply amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food exceeded expectations. The buffet breakfast was fantastic with a wide variety—those eggs were incredible! It was also so convenient to walk to Santa Claus Village. The only note is that we stayed in a cottage, and the bedroom was upstairs—so if you need to use the bathroom at night, just keep in mind you’ll need to go downstairs. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stay, and we’d love to return!

Superb stay in Rovaniemi
A very enjoyable stay in a unique hotel that was spacious and comfortable including your own personal sauna and huge windows for stargazing. Staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Also, a 5 minute walk to Santa’s village, 15 minute drive to downtown Rovaniemi and about 8 me minutes from the airport.

Best and most comfortable accommodation during our stay in Lapland. Although it is on the pricier side, it is very good value for money. Can't think of any downside.

Great location
We had a great time at Nova Skyland Hotel. It was a 5 days trip (4 nights) family trip to Rovaniemi. We were not lucky to have a proper winter weather on the first two days and the hotel location, walking distance from Santa Claus Village, plus the option for staying at Nordic Cottage saved our trip. Breakfast was good. The room cleaning could be better, as we found some hair in the bathroom.

Great location and welcoming staff . Would definitely return ! Only suggestion would be to have a thermostat in the room as you need to contact reception to adjust the temperature in your room. 5/5 star

Perfect stay
Perfect house, perfect location, perfect hotel restaurant! Just 5 minutes walk to Santa Claus village. All parts in the house are in perfect condition, especially there’s private sauna in each house, an enjoyable stay.
Also, I sent the massage to celebrate my lover’s birthday at the very last minute and the hotel did tried their best to help with the arrangement.
The hotel restaurant is totally underrated and it only got 4.6 in Google. However, after having dinner in surrounding restaurant with a high-score, I think this restaurant should be the best one.

Clean and beautiful hotel! The room is perfectly clean. Sauna is absolutely great. The santa villege is ok for the off-season in August. The choice of restaurants was limited. I wanted to try dinner of the restaurant of this hotel, but it was closed due to the season.

Stay here for 3 nights. Loved the in-room saunas, location and the staff was friendly and helpful. A couple of things. There are no thermostats in the rooms and the temperature is kept quite warm. If you are a hot sleeper, this could be a problem.

One of the next hotels I have stayed in so far. The wooden house was very cute and clean. It’s double-decked and super spacious. The staff were very friendly, particularly a male staff who speaks Cantonese who introduced our room to us patiently. One bad thing is the la k of autograph alarm.

We booked here thinking it was more remote than it actually was. It's on the same complex as Santa Claus Village which was a surprise. The hotel was very good though. We had a cottage which was clean and spacious with a private sauna. The only disappointing thing was that there were no music channels on the TV, v limited channels when you want to stay in and relax. The breakfast was great and all staff friendly and helpful. Recommended.
