I don’t think you need a lot of time here in the spring or summer because a few of the tours don’t operate but it’s still worth visiting. Beautiful pristine area that reminds you of the beauty of nature.

The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more).
There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme.
There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.
Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling.
Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too.
For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways).
For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent.
For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english.
You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (...
Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc.
We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking.
Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails.
Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.
Property was amazing. Fit our needs perfectly and there was lots of space. We stayed in the aparthotel which was perfect. Would highly recommend. Very warm, tons of space and amazing facilities at the hotel. Hotel reception staff were so welcoming and friendly They always had a friendly smile and hello for all the kids. The sauna in the apartment was fabulous. You won’t be disappointed if you book here. Photos on booking.com don’t do it justice. Would have loved more time just to use all the hotel facilities. Will definitely come back.
Located high up above town, this hotel has the best views out of all the hotels we stayed at in/ around Rovaniemi. The roof terrace was superb for those views too. We loved our room (Mystique Sauna room) with the cosy lighting, framed window view (which can also be enjoyed from the sauna which has a window as well and large amount of space. It was incredibly clean too and we did a walk down into town via the observation tower and it was magic in the snow. Very well signposted and it took around 35 minutes.
Great hotel for a stop over as our flight was late into Finland. The room and bathroom was very clean, very quiet and comfortable. Overall I was impressed with how cheap it was and how well maintained the hotel was. Really good location - we paid 7 Euros for a bus from the airport which dropped us off right outside the hotel, very near to restaurants so we could go and have some food after a long day. Reception were very helpful and the breakfast was busy, but well managed and a good choice.
If I had to use one word to summarize our stay, it would be: Exceptional! The design of the igloo/apartment was amazing. The views from the room were lovely, and the private hot tub + sauna were wonderful. They served the best breakfast in Lapland and we also enjoyed an amazing dinner at their restaurant. The staff was courteous, friendly, and did everything to make our stay amazing. If you have plans to visit Rovaniemi, you MUST stay here!
Everything was perfect. The room were very comfortable, warm and clean. We had a family room with a view over the river. We had a hot power shower which was just perfect every evening when we returned to the room. Hotel was a 1 min walk to centre with access to all shops, restaurants and approx 3/4 mins to McDonalds and Burger King. Angry Birds Children Park was approx 6/7 min walk.
A great location in the centre of town with a park for kids outside. Sledding and an ice rink in the park! It was a perfect place to stay.
Clean and warm. Warm being very important in December in Finland!
Lots of space in the apartment and a great host. We could not have asked for anything more from Joel. We (family of 4 with 2 kids aged 4 & 8) recommend very highly.
Great place and a great owner. It feels like home close to nature and just a little far in the bus stop but if you like walking no problem you could also ask help from the owner he will help you. I recommend this place to my friends and who are planning to visit Rovaniemi from the first time. Looking a nice hotel is good but knowing a nice owner to help you is great!
The hotel is located right in the center of Rovaniemi. In 5-10 minutes you are able to reach both shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, winter tour organizations.
Room temperature was average for winter season, we weren’t freezing.
Restaurant on the ground floor hosts breakfast and it looks really cozy and pleasant. Food and its variety are good.
If you want to be in the heart of Rovaniemi, this building is exactly there. Close to the shops, restaurants, tourist agencies, etc when it’s cold that is important… no breakfast at the hotel itself but hostel Koti just across the street offers a basic but excellent price/quality breakfast that you can book via the hotel.
What a great place to stay when visiting Rovaniemi. Its behind the Santa Claus Village which is very touristy but the hotel feels private and quiet. The rooms were fantastic. With a big window facing north west, giving it a romantic touch. Our room came with a great bed and bathroom which had a private sauna.
Host - Alice is kind, humble & helpful giving all details possible to enjoy Rovaniemi be it a visit to Santa Claus Village or chasing the Northern Light.
Location - Walkable distance to City Center, Train Station & Bus Station.
Hotel - Clean & well maintained with all possible facilities available.
The hotel and staff are wonderful. My room was comfortable, cozy and clean. The restaurant was excellent (service and food). The location on top of the mountain was beautiful and had access to many hiking trails. I had a great stay in every way.
Nice stay in this beautiful chalet not too far Rovaniemi.
Safe and quiet place, comfortable beds, functional kitchenette and friendly staff.
Lapland is a magic place, especially when the northern lights show up in the middle of the polar night.
Will be awesome if there were northern light sightings, so do check out the weather conditions and aurora forecast for a higher chance to make your stay worthwhile. otherwise, i would say it is just another hotel with novelty of glass ceilings.
Good location, very very nice rooms with panorama view in the bedroom, sauna for own use and a living room downstairs. The staff in the hotel and also in the included restaurant were very nice and helpful if we had any questions.
We truly loved the location. It is very close to the city centre of Rovaniemi where many tours start. Furthermore, we were close to some hiking trails and a spot where possibly the northern lights could be viewed.
I loved the view from the window. The wonderful staff very helpful and accommodating. The location of the hotel is near santas village. Very private location. Beautiful Rooms. Love the Rakas Restaurant.
The stuff was really kind and helpfull, the room was cozy, its close to the city center, well Rovaniemi is small, the shuttle airbus from the airport stops to this hotel!, clean hotel, good wifi,
