This hotel was a nice suprise. During last year I have been in couple of Scandic hotels in Finland and was about never stay again in Scandic. My room had been nicely updated, so everything was basicly new. Hotel has a good location in the city center. Also the staff was friendly.

The hotel was fab, very central with easy access to busses to Santa Claus Village and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Breakfast offered lots of choice, our favourite being the really fresh breads and pastries. Rooms are warm, modern and very clean. Beds were cosy. Reception staff were very friendly and so helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

In addition to appearing unprofessional, the staff is inconsistent in being friendly - a few times even rude. So much so, that I almost left the premises, having been insulted. This has never happened in a hotel in Finland before, and I was amazed to be present in a situation, where the customer is put to their place this way, being a mere burden to the staff. The room looked okay at first, but at closer look, had multiple stains everywhere, mostly white stains on the sofa - gross. Considering it's not the cheapest option in the city of Rovaniemi, I'd advice people traveling there to choose another option. Definitely not good value for your dollar, nor worth being subjected to bad manners, awful service and to top it off: ridicule. Never again.

Hello RegularCustomer2022 and thank you for your feedback. I’m really sorry that you felt disappointed while staying in our hotel. I’m very disappointed as well, because I thought our receptionists do their best every day and create great customer experiences for all our guests. I will definitely talk with my team regarding your feedback. Receptionist obviously has not been up to the job if there has been rudeness. I'm sorry about room cleanliness as well. We need to focus more details when cleaning room like stains on the sofa. I still hope that you will be able to continue trust in the quality of our products and services. Thank you for visiting Scandic Rovaniemi City and welcome again. With best regards, Tuomo

Simple place to stay for a few nights in a great location in the city centre. East to walk around to all the shops and to reach the bus station for Santa Park / Santa Claus Village / Saariskela and various stops for tours. Big buffet breakfasts. Highly recommend.

We booked a triple and we got a double with additional bed. The problem was the room size, Brits would say “cozy”, I would say dwarf’s size.. bathroom was like 3sqm large… Mattress thin and wobbly, pillow basically non existent .. Let’s talk now about the fun part. At present we are still dealing with Covid pandemic, the breakfast service is buffet, but - unlike Italy, where everything is protected by glass and someone is taking care of serving - here everything is like usual and anyone can go around often without facemask to get food, handle food with hands etc…. What’s the point of shutting restaurant at 20 or not serving alcoholic beverage after 17 if at the buffet everybody can do whatever they like?? Also, of course now you need to book for the sauna, but none of the hotel is checking timing and reservations and this resulted in me not being able to enjoy my reserved slot since someone else was in it!!! Final cherry on the cake, for breakfast I got scrambled eggs with “hair” which of course wasn’t mine!…

Hello superanna80, Thank you for your visit and for your review. Sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations regarding our rooms and especially our breakfast. We follow the regulations by the authorities and also have our own instructions to follow during this time. It is unfortunate that the sauna was reserved when it would had been the best time for you to use. I hope you had an enjoyable trip in Rovaniemi otherwise and I wish you all the best for the new year! Kind regards, Tammi Karjalainen

Finland requires Covid test for entry before your flight which is very short notice for cancellation. If you cannot travel they say ‘we cannot refund go to your insurance company’therefore better get last minute cancellation coverage. The airline also stopped direct flights after the new years due to Covid related cansellations

The staff were interacted with on the desk are friendly, location is convenient, and breakfast was decent (though getting a table on our first morning was a challenge, in spite of having what we thought was a semi-booked slot). Our experience overall, however, was let down by the quality of housekeeping during our stay. Our room was barely straightened on our second day, cups not washed/replaced (and those that were there on arrival didn't look particularly clean), surfaces very dusty, handprints of someone else's child all over the window. Everything just felt vaguely not clean, especially after I noticed the window and dirty glasses, as well as someone else's hair in the bath. Amenities were also a let down - hair conditioner dispenser totally empty (as I discovered halfway through my shower), and milk/tea bags not replenished up after our first night. It's certainly very central, but there's nothing special about a stay here, so keep your expectations low.…

Basic comfort for 3 days trip - Unfortunately it looks the hotel staff had difficulties to cope with the inflow of tourists: Not a single request for Covid vaccination at the restaurant, breakfast tables very dirty and no refilling of basics. Rooms were bit outdated and pretty small. Overall the experience was far from a 4 stars hotel...despite the prices

Where to begin.. Never thought would happen in this hotel after so good reviews. Hotel room: Spacious and nice looking, but floor was dusty the day we arrived. The papers under water cups looked like they were used many times before already without changing.. We stayed two nights and asked for a cleanup on the second day. All they did was make beds, and put new cups still on the same dirty papers. Dinner restaurant downstairs: We had dinner on a Saturday evening and there was only ONE waitress and ONE cook.. On Saturday! We waited our foods for 1.5 hours and before us there was only ONE family. In the end we got our foods and they were burned. Asked for refund from the waitress and was nice and gave it to us. Why wasn't the restaurant closed if there is so little staff? The waitress turned out so many guests coming in while we were waiting. On the positive side, breakfast and the room it was eaten was really nice. Reception and check in procedure was nice as well. I made feedback on the automatic survey after the trip and there was a question if I want response, but nothing ever came even I checked that I want response. I think after this, I'm not staying on a Scandic hotel anymore.…
