Lovely stay. The breakfast is excellent
Pros:

An excellent hotel, I felt the value was exceptional. Maybe I got it at a good price but everything felt a paygrade higher! The room was super quiet, the beds comfortable and a great shower. Location spot on. Breakfast was excellent. Best hotel I have stayed in at this price range. Staff were good also.

Cons:

Nothing

Yksi vaihtoehto jatkossakin
Pros:

Kiva henkilökunta, lähellä keskustaa. Pysäköinti samassa talossa. Perustason hotellia parempi aamiaisineen.

Cons:

Ei mitään erityistä moitittavaa.

Pros:

Breakfast has a lot to offer, all standard items, but a lot of them. The breads are all fresh!
It is in a great location to walk to the center where there are a lot of travel/trip agencies that can arrange activities. LOTS of coffee shop places and restaurants.There is a small grocery store just several blocks away and another big one just a few block further.
The river is just a couple of blocks away as well and has a nice walking/running/biking track along it.
I was there during the midnight sun, and the black out curtains really black everything out!
Everyone at the front desk was friendly and helpful!

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!
