Mitigé pour cet hôtel
Pros:

L’emplacement et le personnel

Cons:

J’ai pris 3 chambres, une refaite avec une toute mais toute petite salle de bain et 2 autres classiques qui se trouve dans une partie de l’hôtel, on a l’impression d’entrer dans des cellules c’est triste…

Pros:

מלון נמצא על שפת הנהר שמאפשר גישה מהירה לתצפית זהר צפוני. אוכל טעים ומגוון. יש מספר בניינים במלון. בהתחלה קבלנו דני חדרים די ישנים סמוכים אחד לשני. אחרי שבוע קבלנו חדר משפחה הרבה יותר יפה ומחודש.
מה שכן חדר משפחה די קטן לא אנשים אולי יתאים לילדים קטנים יותר. אהבנו שיש חדר משחקים עם סוני פלייסטשן, יש חדר כושר מעולה, יש בריכה 20 מטר קרה מיועדת לטבילה לאחר סאונה חמה. מי שלא סובל מקור יכול לשחות בה בכיף.
יש מקום לעבוד בו עם שולחן ותאורה,יש וואי פאי חופשי של המלון.

Cons:

אין אמבטיה בחדר. רק מקלחת.
מאוד רצינו להתפנק.
שירותי כביסה מאוד יקרים, לא השתמשנו.
לכבס מכנס ג'ינס עולה 17 יורו.
חולצה 9 יורו.

Aufenthalt war zweckmäßig, mit kleinen Enttäuschungen, ansonsten sehr angenehm.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist super zentral aber doch nicht ganz im Trubel von Rovaniemi. Also wer Ruhe mag ist hier richtig. Einige Zimmer schauen auf den super schönen Fluss und haben einen traumhaften Ausblick. Das Frühstück ist der Hammer: reichlich super viel Auswahl, super lecker und für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Die Zimmer sind wunderschön auf Holzoptik und modern ausgelegt. Leider war unser Zimmer durch die Klimaanlage immer viel zu kalt, da man die Klimaanlage nicht abstellen konnte.

Cons:

Leider war unser Zimmer durch die Klimaanlage immer viel zu kalt, da man die Klimaanlage nicht abstellen konnte. Die Heizung unter dem Fenster hat die Wärme nicht halten können. Schade. Den Pool konnten wir auch nicht nutzen, der ist anscheinend durch seine eisigen Temperaturen nur nach dem Saunieren gedacht. Da kleine Kinder eine finnische Sauna mit den hohen Temperaturen nicht aushalten, war an Schwimmen OHNE Sauna leider nicht zu denken. Den Pool haben wir nur mit dem Zeh getestet und den Fuß schnell wieder aus dem Wasser gezogen. Sehr schade!!!

Posizione top ma struttura no
Pros:

Personale efficiente ma non proprio accogliente
Bella la posizione sul fiume, vicina alle principali agenzie escursioni e al centro, comodissima per tutti i collegamenti bus.

Cons:

Camera vecchiotta priva di set di cortesia e bagno brutto, Assolutamente non all'altezza dei 380€ a notte pagati secondo ilio parere(colazione inclusa).
