Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Rooms are small - a standard Ibis room is much larger. The bathroom is also squeezed. Good enough for a single person. No cleaning of the rooms - I stayed 5 nights there and had to empty the trash bin by myself. The cleaning ladies were very unfriendly - those were the only people I've met in Finland who didn't smile in reply. Breakfast was good. Heating of the room was ok. The ventilation of the kitchen is not good, therefore in the evening one could smell the main dish in corridors and rooms. The sauna operated according to schedule.

The hotel itself is clean yet basic. In the US it would be considered a motel. But the price at 450€ makes it a 4*…

Pros
- very attentive and caring staff
- clean and big rooms (with very basic furnitures)
- parking easily accessible and free
- well located

Cons
- super expensive for what it is
- breakfast is really subpar, food isn’t good and overheated/dry
- did I mention the cost?
- mattresses are soft (which can be ok) with noisy bed (which isn’t…)

Budget property with great international breakfast. Excellent location 500m from the center by public transport. Too bad about the rooms and apartments, dirty and very old, to be renovated darkly. The friendly and qualified staff.

We arrived in front of this hotel which does not pay for a mine but is located very close to the center of Rovaniemi.
To our surprise, we were able to leave our luggage but in an unattended room where everyone could enter and exit.
When we go upstairs to reach our rooms, the receptionist tells us: well no there is no elevator!
We had 4 huge suitcases and one of my daughters on crutch!
We arrive in a cool corridor where we expect to see the Bronzes ski out of a room
The rooms were tiny and borderline cleanliness.
No storage, the bedding was suitable but the sheets holed wear
Cleaning does summarily
During our stay we had to ask before 10 am in the morning for the cleaning to be done what obviously we zapped! So we had to serve ourselves towels in a trolley that was continuously hanging out in the hallway and empty our trash ourselves
I would like to say that we paid 5400 euros for 2 bedrooms 3 nights
The bathrooms were tiny and not clean. No shampoo available
We used to wet the whole room while showering and the toilet was dirty
I'll put pictures after
TV offered only local channels while the customers and staff were foreign

Breakfast was really frugal
3 deli choices, 1 kind of cheese, no butter every morning, bread and croissants available
And 3 hot dishes including scrambled eggs that seemed hard as cardboard

We were lucky enough to have the Christmas meal offered by the hotel!
So even a school canteen offers a more suitable meal
The drinks were not planned but the boss told us we were lucky because he provided free tap water!
The menu consisted of basic starters including salmon which was good by the way, 3 basic hot meats with very basic accompaniments and 3 unappetizing desserts

The hotel is pretty special. The bathroom is built so that every time you shower the toilet paper gets wet and the whole bathroom is under water. That's why there's a water slide, so you can push the water to the drain.
The desk at the mirror was sticky, as if someone had poured their lemonade a long time ago.
The room was not cleaned or anything done during our 5 days stay, not even the garbage bags were emptied.
We had booked the hotel, not the apartment.
Condition of the room was otherwise OK. Breakfast was nothing special either, but they found something to eat.
So I get such a room in Asia for not even 20 euros , and then even the room is made daily.
Location was fine, you could reach a shopping center in a few minutes.

Very bad breakfast. When I arrived at the restaurant it was crowded, with all the tables dirty or occupied, employees running like crazy to replace the food and they simply couldn't handle it. I had to ask 3 times for eggs and croissant and was not answered. I waited more than 30 minutes at a dirty table to start drinking coffee. And even then I didn't eat everything I wanted because there was no replacement of basic things like scrambled eggs!!!! Breakfast service couldn't be worse.
The rooms with saunas are separated from the rest, on the other side of the street, which creates inconvenience when having to cross from one place to another in very low temperatures to access the reception or restaurant.
I didn't know how to turn on the sauna on the first day, we thought it was defective. We called someone at reception to help and the person said it was defective and that they would call a technician the next day as there was no other room with a sauna for us to change at that time. Okay. First day without a sauna. The next day the technician came and explained that there was a specific way to connect the equipment, and that we were doing it wrong. Wow, if there's a specific way to call, why isn't there any guidance in the room? And why didn't the girl at reception who went to the room test it before saying it was actually defective? Total lack of care.
I think the only good thing about this hotel is the location, unfortunately a terrible experience.

We stayed at this hotel thinking of having a nice time, but unfortunately the experience was not up to standard, especially considering the price of 490 € per night.

The room was decent, but no more, and the bathroom was sorely lacking in functionality. The cleaning of the room was not done all week. This might be appropriate in a more moderately priced establishment, but at this rate, much better expectations are expected.

The most disappointing thing is the evening meal , which is really low-end. The quality of the meals was poor, far from what we could hope for.

In short, if you are looking for a quality stay, it is better to pay a little more and go elsewhere. This hotel falls far short of expectations for the asking price.

The positive is that we are located close to the city center.

We didn't know what to expect as it was a reasonable price for rovaniemi. Pleasantly surprised as couldn't fault it. Breakfast included was buffet style and only a 10 min stroll into city centre. Approximately €30 in taxi from airport although you could get bus in city centre. 10 min walk to catch direct bus for santa village.

Limited cleanliness, little or no cleaning done
Mold in the bathroom and encrusted dirt
Yellow tartar +++in the toilet bowl
2cms of vacuum under the shower cubicle, leading to major flooding of the bathroom with each shower
Room not soundproofed
Very average food and absolutely not typical
The only positive point is the location not far from the center

Was back from Finland from a boys trip and visited Rovaniemi. We stayed at Hotel Aakenus and we were fine to put up with the poor quality even though it was expensive. The last straw came when we simply requested for them to check on the slow internet. The lady told us to wait and she will send someone over to check. When we were leaving the front desk, I heard her telling her colleague saying “what an idiot” in Finnish. She doesn’t know I studied Finnish as part of my curriculum back in my Uni days. When I wanted to confront her, my friends told me it’s not worth it. She saw me advancing and got held back by my friends told and gave me the shrug smirk. Horrible service. Gave Finland a really bad name.
