Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in Rovaniemi, making it convenient for exploring the city sights and close to essential amenities. The rooms, while cozy, may feel a bit cramped for longer stays, especially for two guests with large luggage. The service is exceptional, with a warm and welcoming staff that goes above and beyond to assist guests. The dining options are fantastic, catering to special dietary needs like lactose-free choices. The overall value for money is good, although some may find the room size a bit limiting and the lack of air conditioning near the lifts and stairs can make the area hot at times.
The hotel is cozy but a bit cramped, especially the washroom and showering area. The service was exceptional, with very kind and welcoming staff that even took care of our lost luggage. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Rovaniemi with everything within walking distance. Dining offered a great variety of options, and the breakfast was a delightful mix of local delicacies and classic choices. The facilities were adequate and well-maintained.
The hotel is situated right in the heart of Rovaniemi, making it convenient to explore the city on foot. The rooms are fresh and decorative, though a bit small, and the service is excellent with helpful staff. The dining options are hearty and varied, perfect to fuel up for snowy adventures. However, the rooms could use a bit more space.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location was very convenient and the service was amazing. However, the rooms were rather small and dark, needing refurbishing. The dining experience was good, with a decent selection of food.
Walking into the hotel felt like stepping onto the set of an Austin Powers movie with its interesting decor, although some areas seemed dated. The location was excellent right by the river, perfect for exploring the city easily. The dining experience was faultless, offering a cozy buffet spread. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff offering great advice on local places. Overall, a charming stay with a few quirks.
The hotel has tiny rooms which are still new and comfortable, dark though bright and modern with lovely bathrooms, very hot with uncontrollable temperature. The location is equally good, right in the center of the city allowing for easy exploration. The dining experience varies from disaster to amazing, offering a mix of good and not so good choices.
I found the hotel room to be small but cozy, beautifully furnished, and with the downside of being able to hear people speaking on the streets. The service was kind and helpful, but there were shortcomings in clearing dishes and replenishing cutlery and food. The location was brilliant, close to all amenities, and highly recommended. The dining options were very good with various choices to energize for the day. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor inconveniences.
I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage space, and having tea and coffee facilities plus a reasonably priced mini-bar enhanced my experience. The only downside was that the room was a bit small, but it didn't really take away from the overall quality of the stay.
