Experience accommadation Eco-Unela, hotel in Rovaniemi

Experience accommadation Eco-Unela features a sauna, as well as accommodation with a kitchenette in Rovaniemi, 48 km from Santa Claus Village.

The kindness of the hostess above all, the wild surroundings, the traditional sauna (with cold bath!), the simple yet cozy cabin, the fact that you can borrow snowshoes and skis, and the night sky views! We stayed one night and would have happily extended it if we had had the flexibility!

Guesthouse Borealis, hotel in Rovaniemi

This family-run property is 200 metres from Rovaniemi Station. It offers en-suite guest rooms with free WiFi and parking. The main street, Rovakatu, is about 10 minutes’ walk away.

The place is run by family so I think it's a good option if you are travelling more like a local. It is a good value for the money. The facilities are a bit outdated but it does not compromise on the cleanness which is more important to me. The Guesthouse didn't have the possibility to meet my additional request for a double bed so we ended up with a room with two twin beds and had to rearrange them ourselves. Even having moved the beds, there was no dust in the corners (while other fancy hotel chains sometimes have it). The breakfast was decent but it didn't leave us hungry. After completing the stay I've got a phishing email from the hotel's name but it looked suspicious so I was in contact with the place through the booking app and they were prompt to warn us not to click on any links.

Guesthouse Outa, hotel in Rovaniemi

Conveniently located in Rovaniemi's city centre, Matkustajakoti Outa offers rooms with heating and a flat-screen TV.

The staff was so friendly, welcoming and accepting. The location is perfect - walking distance to many places (travel agencies, supermarkets, the mall, restaurants, bus stop etc). The room is very comfortable, clean and has basic furniture. The bathroom was close to my room and was always very clean. The price was very fair.

A room (or 2 or 3) in a Lapland House of Dreams, hotel in Rovaniemi

6.1 km from Arktikum Science Centre, A room (or 2 or 3) in a Lapland House of Dreams is a recently renovated property located in Rovaniemi and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private...

The traditional wooden chalet was beautiful and well insulated (almost too warm inside given the weather of mild temperature of 1 degree for a February!). There are two saunas indoor and outdoor but the use of it need planning and you are only allowed to use it once during your stay. Note that when using the indoor sauna, other guests can’t use the shower as the sauna connects to the communal shower.

Very nice place with a lot of charm. The room is very cozy and smells of wood. The owner was very friendly and toke the time to chat a bit. There is no big bed, but the owner gave us a third bed to put next to the loft bed. There would also be a possibilty to use a old traditional sauna (2-3h of heating time according to the owner). Calm and nice neighborhood.
