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.
