Very good option in Rovaniemi
Pros:

Attentive staff, good breakfast, comfortable room. Excellent location, just a few steps from the bus stop to and from the airport, also to santas village. You can ask for extra tea, coffee and hot chocolate im the front desk if you opt out of the cleaning service.

Cons:

It's impossible to take a shower without wetting the bathroom floor, so maybe ask for an extra floor towel if you opt out of the room cleaning, but very manageable if you're careful.

Siisti hotelli keskustassa
Pros:

Kiva hotelli keskustassa. Siisti kylpyhuone.

Cons:

Valvottu sisäparkkihalli on vain 1,8m korkea! Boxin kanssa matkustavat älkööt vaivautuko auton kanssa, vain 4 paikkaa ulkona, jotka eivät kameavalvonnan piirissä.
Vuodevaatteet puhtaat, mutta pölyiset. Aamulla nenä ihan tukossa. Vinkki! Vuodevaatteiden mankelointi auttaisi!

ihan perushotelli viipymä
Pros:

Ihan normaali hotelliaamiainen, riittävästi valikoimaa

Cons:

siisteys ei ollut oikein hyvä. huoneessa oli lattiakaivon päällä hiuksia, vedenkeittimessä oli vesi valmiina, huoneen lattialla kiviä. Sängyllä päiväpeiton alla roska, tullut varmaan peiton mukana, koska lakanat olivat muuten puhtaat.

Location perfect for walking and exploring in and around Rovaniemi. Santa bus to take you to and from airport, train sta
Pros:

Fabulous location, not least by being right next door to the Santa express bus stop! Very lovely staff on reception, of course they all speak English.. We had a twin room which was neat and tidy and serviced daily as it was still ‘winter’. Breakfast was typical continental style and I enjoyed crispy bacon, porridge and cheese amongst other items.

Cons:

Nothing.
