Thank you to all the staff at the Arctic City Hotel for making my little girl's 6th birthday so special and all the extra touches that you did for me and my husband.

We had a great stay from arriving to leaving. Staff was super friendly and helping, we needed an adaptator for the electric socket and they provided. Sauna was super spacious and surprisingly had a window with a little city view. Breakfast is super complete with lots of options to choose from. Also covered parking was very convenient since it was snowing quite a bit.

We (2) had a junior suite which was excellent; it had everything that we needed and we felt pampered. The clerk was wonderfully helpful to allow us to check in early given that the room was available. The hotel had sent an email ahead of time with useful area info and with a link to fill out our registration, which made the in-person checkin super fast and simple. I've been to many places where they ask you to register online and yet still have many forms to fill out when you arrive, but not here--everything was efficient. The restaurant was great, too, for both the breakfast buffet and for dinner. I love that they have nondairy options including oat milk/yogurt. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The Artic City Hotel Is vert nice and Is situated in the center of Rovaniemi. On foot you can go to everywhere. The only negative aspect Is the size of the room. We were 3 people in a small but small room. We hadn't space for us, for clothes and for lagguages.

Found out a week after our stay in the hotel that my spare iPhone was missing. Reached out to the hotel and they immediately responded. Their cleaning crew found my fone and they were so quick to respond. They shipped it back to me after verifying that it was really mine. Good, accommodating and honest people. Would definitely stay there again.

in general a great hotel, free parking, great desk service and great breakfast. unfortunately, we had some noises coming from somewhere outside the room, could not understand where exactly (probably pipes was what the staff told us), staff provided earplugs (which we can’t use). booked a private sauna which couldn’t go above 70 degrees celsius (probably better to inform guests beforehand so they know what to expect, for instance I’m used to 80/90 and 70 was just not enough for a pleasant stay). room was clean in general, there was just too much dust visible on mirrors and tables/ night stands

Struttura ben arredata e accogliente, con anche un ristorante eccellente e pub interno. Le camere sono piccole ma curate, il bagno da hotel 2 stelle, box doccia solo con porta, quindi l’acqua esce da sotto, allagando completamente il bagno, infatti lasciano un lavavetri per spingere l’acqua nello scarico. Posizione centrale con comodo parcheggio compreso
