Hotels near Rovaniemi Airport

Cons: only one toilet bathroom for 5 ppl sharing room. another toilet bathroom would be great!

Pros: The staff was so kind to wait for us and walk us through the apartment even though it was past their check in time. The apartment was very cosy, a bit of a walk to the center of town but I knew that prior to booking. The only (mild) complaint i could have are that the mattresses were a bit springy, but that's personal preference. The breakfast was on par with every other place I stayed in Finland. And the staff again took time on our check out to help us find the things we were hoping to see in Rovaniemi and give us tips.

Pros: everything! it provided the comfort of home and it was very accessible being just across the train station. everyone here (and in town) are very friendly and helpful!

Cons: we visited in summer so very few trips around town. if only they told us right off that taxis can accommodate up to 9 persons with the same rate as riding in small taxis, it would have saved us a lot of walking. :)

Pros: I have stayed with my wife in gusthouse borealis apartment. Everything was perfect. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were so nice and helpfull. Great value for money.

Pros: good location very near the train station. family room very comfortable, they have delicious breakfast too.

Pros: The staff Maria was very friendly and apartment is really nice!

Pros: Good location if you travel by train or bus. Good price quality ratio in the appartment side.

Cons: Would have loved orange or apple juice for the breakfast.

Pros: Reached the GuestHouse in the early morning (Around 8am) and surprisingly the host allow us to check in into our apartment and show us the facilities in the room. Breakfast was included too. The best part for the apartment was, it come with a sauna in the bathroom.

Cons: The local tour recommended by the Guesthouse was rather expensive (~20-40 euro more per pax). Although it is for a small group but it is still a group size of 8. A talk with another group by separate organizer, the organizer really ensure the team saw the northern light before calling off the day unlike ours which is really restrict to 4hours, hence end up didn't see the northern light

Pros: Great location with nice staff.

Pros: Friendly host. Like the apartment we stay.

Cons: No

Pros: Sauna room & kitchen

Cons: check out time too early

Pros: Breakfast and location

Pros: The staff and facilities were excellent. They assisted us with the rental car and were more than accommodating for providing service to and from the airport for free.

Pros: The staff at Santa Claus Village were very nice and helpful. They were happy to assist us with timetables for busses, transport from and to airport and they even recommended us extra activities that we could do. The Village itself was very nice and offered a lot of things to do, even in summer (like visiting huskies and reindeers).

Pros: Good location, fairy tale set up. Very peaceful in summer. Food is good, Staffs are very helpful. Will stay here another time in winter.

Pros: Amazing experience to met Santa with family, great location.

Cons: nothing

Pros: All staff very kind and professional. All kinds of activities to do.

Cons: Few transports for the city

Pros: It was just a magical trip! When you come into the small hotel house you feel yourself in a fairy tale. Everything is very clean and cozy. There are evening garland lights on each house, which create Christmas atmosphere even in summer. The village and all the activities are awesome, we had an unforgettable time there. Also, the receptionist kindly allowed us to make the check-out a bit later according to our transportation plans. A free airport transfer took us right to our room. Totally recommend for a family stay!

Cons: The only thing that I would add is shampoos and shower gel in the bathroom - we were tired after our trip to Rovaniemi and wanted just to take a shower before walking around, but there was no shampoo, apparently you can buy it for 1 eur in a local shop, but would be good to have everything for your comfort in a 4-star hotel.

Pros: Very close to Santa Claus Village

Cons: The room is smaller than expected but it was enough for a 3-person family.

Pros: The cottage was very new and clean. You have enough space between cottages. We enjoyed the sauna so much, and it's easy to arrive by car. The staff is helpful. We had al we needed. Perfect for a few days stay. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Breakfast quite poor. Could be improved. We would have appreciated a table instead of a counter in the livingroom, which would have been more comfortable. Appart from than al was OK, and well equipped.

Pros: Courteous staff, excellent location, comfortable beds. Breakfast was good. There are some attractions within the vicinity of this village and also a beautiful forest for a good stroll! We had reached much earlier than the check in time, an early check in was possible for an extra fee. However, the lady at the reception Pirjo, was very kind enough to give us a late check out, an extension of over 4 hours without any fee! Overall enjoyed our stay and highly recommended.

Pros: The breakfast was great and exceeded our expectations. Lots of options on offer.

Cons: The second floor was unexpectedly very tiny (you could not stand up straight). The problem is not the fact that it was so small, but that there was not enough transparency regarding it (e.g. there were no photos properly showing the size).

Pros: A great place to be. We loved it that our friends were allowed to park at our place with their camper van without charge. It's been our last eve together before flying back home - so this was simply awesome. Nice breakfast, nice location near the ski jumping arena. Perfekt for an overnight stay near the airport.

Cons: This chalets are built without any sound absorbing elements, I suppose. Every step you make ist transmitted to the whole house.

Pros: Very nice and comfortable chalets close to the sea, nice terrace restaurant with good food,100% satisfaction. :)

Pros: The main area was nice, and breakfast was decent. Our chalet was next to the river and had lovely views. The sauna was a definite perk.

Cons: As it was low season, the restaurant and bike rental services were not available - dates ought to be specified on the booking page.

Pros: Good beds for sleeping, nice playroom for kids

Cons: Breakfast, cleaning of the apartment

Pros: Very good overall standard.

Cons: Quite expensive. Extremely small parking spaces in basement. Smell of sewer from bathroom.

Pros: Fantastic breakfast.

Cons: The signage of houses is insufficient

Pros: I liked the place. In my case was a small Chalet and was funny, because I am not used to wood houses. My included also a Sauna that we tried. The Hotel is near a lake where you can try a Water Bike, boat and you have a restaurant near by. Also you have a small cable car to a small mountain and after you can go down using a half tube :) You have also a restaurant near the lake. The breakfast was good, nothing to say. And if you have a car is also a good Hotel to go to Santa Clause Park.

Cons: Nothing special. Perhaps the bathroom could be a little bigger and I think the price was to heavy but just that.

Pros: Breakfast was good in quantity&quality, the chalet was perfect for us.

Cons: It’s a problem not having washing machine, if you stay like us, 5 days, you need it, anyway the reception offers a laundry service (10€) as a solution.

Pros: Location, Accommodation

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: Good room with nice touch of ‘northern lights’ led lighting. Espresso maker in room was highly appreciated as was a well priced mini bar. Beds confortable with three choices of pillow. On site sauna was good.

Cons: Parking on site was quickly full with pretty tight spaces. We couldn’t open doors to get out of our rental suv when cars were on either side. Street parking nearby was expensive with very active parking inspectors quick to fine.

Pros: Wonderful hotel in the downtown, nice and cozy room, comfortable beds, lovely staff, big choice for breakfast, good wi-fi.

Cons: There was a little gap between the door of the shower box and the floor in the bathroom so the water got to the rest of the bathroom but it was just a detail.

Pros: Nice quiet hotel. Breakfast was very old. Good variety of food. Friendly staff.

Cons: About 20 min walk from train station; however, the town has placed large red markers that have a map of the town so very easy to locate the area you want to find.

Pros: Everything was wonderful! The best place! I recommend this hotel.

Pros: Easy checking in process, room was ready even before check in time, great location, friendly staff members...

Cons: NA

Pros: Restaurant was great, staff very friendly. Excellent location

Pros: People in the hotel is ver kind and they treat you always with a smile. The toma are very clean and warm. I like it and if once day im back i would Stay there

Cons: You have to pay for tv 13 euros is too much and not kind

Pros: Hotel had very good location. Few minutes away from everything. Travel agencies, bars, restaurants, river bank etc... Buffet breakfast was amazing with many options. Mini bar was sufficiently stuffed. Every day we got complementary 2 bottles of still water. Instant coffee and tea was available as well in the room with sugar and milk cream. Coffee machine was in the room as well as water heater. At the morning when we were leaving (Jan 2nd 4.30 am) very nice lady at the reception organized everything (coffee to go, sandwich to go, taxi). She was the only one from the staff who made positive impression (beside the cleaning ladies who were also very friendly and nice).

Cons: We had late check in (23.40 h / 11.30 pm). Our airplane was bit late. Anyhow we informed hotel that we will arrive late. Official check in is till 23.30 h. Two weeks prior to arrival we sent via booking.com email to the property with few questions and we never got a feedback. At the check in guy at the reception did not answer any singe question properly. We asked about SPA area, he said go and check. We asked about gym options, answer was that he did not know. We asked where we can book the adventure excursions, but feedback was that there were many agencies around. When we asked when they would be open in the morning, he was just looking at us and finally he said perhaps at 9 am or maybe at 10 am. We paid 450 USD per night (4 nights in total which is 1800 USD) and we could not get any proper answer at the reception. In addition room is much smaller than it looks on the photos. In the bathroom shower door is not going all the way down the floor, which is making water going all over during shower (little rubber attached on the bottom of the door would fix it easily). SPA area was very small and only one sauna. From sauna is possible to order drink via reception or bar number. I called it one day in the afternoon 6 times in total and no one answered. After half an hour I tried again and I finally got the drink in SPA.

Pros: Sauna was amazing Breakfast was also very good and we enjoyed it

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: Great location in centre of town, an easy walk to sights and shopping centres. We were allowed early access to the room which was helpful. Bed was comfortable, breakfast spread was excellent. We ate an evening meal at the restaurant, which claims the best steak in town and it lived up to this expectation, the roast pork was also excellent.

Cons: The high sided bath which had to be negotiated to have a shower caused one slip when trying to get out - perhaps a non slip suction mat or non-slip strips in the bath could be provided.

Cons: Very small room, hot!

Pros: Nice breakfast. Everything was there. Good parking next to the hotel in a garage.

Pros: Many things, but the salmon not very good. Staff very kind,position

Cons: Air condition: room was too warm.

Pros: Warm atmosphere at the hotel and MonteRosa restaurant

Pros: Very friendly staff. The offered me a ventilator to help to fight the hotness of the room.

Cons: Very nice hotel Burt the location is a problem. The area is noisy which prevents you from leaving the window open and as the a result the room was too warm which made it uncomfortable to sleep. This is probably not a problem in the Winter, but this was Summer!

Pros: Helpful, friendly and polite staff. Room is tidy and clean. Delicious breakfast with lots of choices. Convenient location, with airport shuttle stopping at the front door for easy transit. It's your top choice for a stay in Rovaniemi.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Cons: It needs air-conditioning but otherwise perfect

Pros: Sauna was nice, good breakfast with plenty of choice

Cons: Reception desk persons did not know anything about electric car charging wich was advertised in the hotel information list. Anyone planning to charge their EV in Scandic Rovaniemi - there is a Virta charger located in the hotel parking area (two Type 2 outlets 22 kW) which you have to pay to Virta and parking is extra as well. So not the cheapest option, there is free parking in the city and cheaper EV charging as well.

Feil check inn information in booking.com, there is to 10pm, reception is 24h open.

Pros: I like that we stayed at the Olympic Training Center

Cons: Receptionists weren't very friendly (some even rude). Rooms look like college dorm rooms (and smell like them too) Showers are grungy, smelly, dirty and made me wish I didn't have to shower just to avoid touching anything. (Showers in Uganda are cleaner than this!)

Waffles and breads were to die for. Just watching the snow and its majestic beauty from the restaurant with my first sip of morning coffee was a heavenly experience. The freshly made juice and hot cereal were decent as well. All in all a wonderful experience!

Cons: No elevator! Lugging those bags is not one of my favorite moments!

Pros: The location was beautiful, right next to nordic ski trails. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was about a 5 min drive into the main city and 15 min drive from Santa's village. The food in the restaurant was extremely good (pricey but the quality matched the price)

The rooms I got were small and transmit tiredness and absolotly not a place I wish to stay. The price was not competitive in compare to other hotel in the same town. I must say that other people stayed in the hotel were not so sensitive to the look of the hotel and said it is satisfied them. One of the reasons I choosed this hotel is the swimming pool that was not useful for me and my children because the low temperature of the water.
