Above all else the staff here are fantastic. Very welcoming, accommodating and knowledgeable, especially Joni. The hotel is very well decorated and has a very warm, cosy and safe feeling. The rooms are spacious and look great with an Arctic theme. The free use of the Sauna is a fantastic perk. We ate at the restaurant a few times and the food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly too. We greatly enjoyed our stay here.

We recently stayed at Arctic Light Hotel for our first trip to Finland and Rovaniemi, and it was such a beautiful experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. Wi-Fi worked great, and check-in was quick and easy. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, they even provided us with a wall outlet converter we didn’t have and let us know we’d been upgraded, which was such a thoughtful touch. The entire stay felt peaceful and quiet, which made it the perfect setting for a summer holiday. Every interaction with the hotel staff was warm and welcoming, and we were always greeted with kindness. After long days exploring the city and everything Rovaniemi has to offer, it was so nice to come back to a place that felt calm, cozy, and cared for. Truly grateful for the hospitality. Would absolutely stay here again.
