"We had a great stay at this apartment and would absolutely recommend it, especially for families traveling with kids. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. Everything we needed was provided, which made the stay easy and stress-free. The location was excellent — safe, convenient, and close to restaurants, shops, and nearby attractions. It was easy to get around, and having everything so close was a big plus when traveling with a child. The space...

Scandic Rovaniemi City

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely brilliant breakfast"

Hostel Café Koti

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff, good location, place was clean, just needed the shower and toilet to be separated better other than a curtain."

Polar Nook Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very central to the city. Quiet room. Very clean. Had a small issue with aircon that was fixed immediately. Outstanding customer service considering there is no on-site reception. Recommended hotel."

Santa's Hotel Santa Claus

10/10 Excellent

"Very good breakfast and Irish bar is just across the road :)"

Santa's Holiday Homes

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Right in town everything was walkable. Building has a elevator. Everything was good for our group of 3. Good shower pressure. We all enjoyed our stay."

Kotimaailma Apartments Siljotie

8/10 Good

"We did not receive the details to enter the apartment till we called them up on reaching the apartment which was very inconvenient as there are many apartments and the name on them is different from what was there in the booking. We wasted a lot of time trying to locate it and get the checkin details standing in the cold outside, so the starting experience was not good at all. The apartment is very nice and the location good. However, we found it difficult to use the oven as there were no oven gloves or aluminium foil, we wern't sure if any of the dishes were oven proof. There is a washing machine but no detergent. When we asked them for it they asked us to come to their office which was 2 km away instead of delivering it or making sure everything required was available in the apartment in the first place, so their processes need some looking into! There was salt and oil only provided, no sugar, tea, coffee or creamers! We didn't find any shops closeby!"

Arctos City Suite, private sauna By Lapland Host

10/10 Excellent

"The property is a lovely little apartment, absolutely perfect for staying in Rovaniemi. The property is a ~45min walk from downtown and ~20min from the train station, so it worked well for visits to town and arriving/departing via train. While I didn’t use the kitchen, they do provide an oven, stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, and a few other appliances. I also enjoyed on of the restaurants that was recommended by the hosts. "

Golden Circle Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great central place to stay - we were a group of friends. Ideal for exploring the area and nice to have a living space to relax in. Breakfast reasonable - as a Finn I found it disappointing in lack of Finnish food. Staff really friendly and helpful. Also recommend the local taxi company to reach everywhere with a van for 8. "

Postmaster Hotel
