"We had a great stay at this apartment and would absolutely recommend it, especially for families traveling with kids.

Scandic Rovaniemi City

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location. Next to a mall and many restaurants around. Outdoor parking without charging option. Big plus to sauna where a balcony is connect, although the sauna is quite small and always crowded."

Arctic City Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a lovely hotel with lots of charm and helpful staff. Lobby has several seating areas that make it feel quite cozy. Our room was quite small but the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was positively Parisian - tiny and everything crammed in! There was a deep tub and tile floor, basically an accident waiting to happen. The tub has a small glass wall that does not contain the shower spray very well. Climbing out of the tub onto the tiny wet floor was nerve wracking. But the sink and toilet are right there to catch yourself. Also, the wall between the shower and the room is glass so enjoy the show! The best part about this hotel was the outstanding breakfast! Plentiful and delicious. We also visited the restaurant for dinner and had a fabulous meal. Highly recommend the restaurant for service and food!"

Arctic Light Hotel

10/10 Excellent

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."

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!"

Scandic Polar

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and cleanliness. Excellent breakfast. "

Authentic Wooden House with a Real Snow Igloo

10/10 Excellent

"The place is so lovely and easy to live in. Exactly what a family needs to enjoy Rovaniemi and its surroundings."
