Receptionist people are helpful and friendly.


As there is a silver lining in every cloud, I start saying that the personnel have been very available.
On the other hand, we paid 120 per night for a place that worth not more than 60 euros. Consider that we paid 140 per night for a 4* hotel in the city center, and the only reason we did not spend the last night there was that it was fully booked, as well as the other similar hotels.
This place may be suitable if you are looking for a no-frills place, but only if you find a room for a good rate.
I liked the fact that my tour operator for Northern Lights tour picked me up from here. This hotel was the cheapest I could find in Rovaniemi in a busy season. The rooms are small with a small bed. It was enough space for one person. It has a small bathroom and shower. The heating was a little on the colder side.
There is parking for rental cars in the back and breakfast came with the room and it was sufficient. The owner is also the reception and was pretty helpful.
If you come outside of the reception times, the keys are left in a post box, It takes a little bit of jiggling of the keys to get them working.



From the airport I got a taxi which was 30€, which was what I expected to pay but I did not know there was a shuttle bus for 7€, when I emailed the Guesthouse I was not made aware of this.
But they booked this for me once I left.
My main aim coming here was to see the Northern Lights.
First night was too cloudy, we only saw a hint.
Second night was much better, even though I have seen much better in Norway, this was so beautiful and my guide from Wild About Lapland was amazing. If you go into their website you book your first tour and for the second you email them and ask for a code for 40% off second tour.
The breakfast was just what I needed, bread, fruits, meats and of course tea and coffee. (Oh and chocolate biscuits!)
The walk to the centre is 20 mins but it does not sem that far at all and I really enjoyed the walk in the snow.
Wrap up warm at -12 and the wind it can take your breath away.
Staff were all so lovely, and a girl told me she would post my postcards on her way home. So thank you so much for that!
I do not tend to go back to countries I have been to , but if I did, I would stay here again.
Thank you.
