Ottima qualità/prezzo

Struttura eccezionale per la posizione vicinissima alla stazione del treno e degli autobus, a circa 1km da centro città raggiungibile con una passeggiata di 20 minuti circa. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. L'atmosfera è famigliare. Camera e bagno piccoli, puliti ed essenziali. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Mi sono trovata benissimo, ci ritornerei.

自然の中にある

街中からは歩いて15分ほどにあります。しかし、歩いて行ける範囲なので、何回か歩けばスムーズに行き来することができます。 また、街中のホテルとは違い自然の中にあるため、窓から雪の積もった自然を見ることができます。

Convenient and affordable guesthouse

Very conveniently located guesthouse (3 minute walk to train station/bus terminus for Santa Claus Village, 3 minutes to a supermarket, 10 minutes to the edge of downtown). The rooms were small but warm and clean. A kitchen is available for use, and so is laundry (7 Euros). The breakfast was included but not remarkable. The front desk staff gave very good directions. Wifi worked well too.

No Regrets!

Near to railway station and bus station. Had a well rested night and a filling breakfast. Room is small but we only stay a night so it was quite alright. Well worth the price relative to the hotel rates in Rovaneimi. Staff are helpful too.

交通方便的經濟雙人房

距離火車站和公車站都近，雙人房間不小而且有大窗，乾淨，價格實惠，櫃檯很親切，另外櫃檯有提供local tour報名資訊(哈士奇、極光)可供報名，除了廁所空間太小不方便人活動這個缺點之外，我們覺得一切都蠻好的。

Pieni ja hyvällä paikalla oleva yöpymispaikka.

Huoneet ja muutenkin olemus kaipaisi kipeästi remonttia, mutta esim. aamupala oli oikein hyvä ja riittävä.

OK place

OK B&B - didn't expect much and thus was not disappointed - however, if you want a comfortable stay go elsewhere, this has more of a hostel-feeling rather than a B&B

Chambre exiguë.Pas de télé.Espace douche restreint.Étage sans ascenseur.Une cuisine à disposition.Le titre Guesthouse est trompeur! C'est un hôtel d'étape de qualité moyenne.

Very small but clean

This is more like an upscale hostel for young people. The breakfast is good and there is a complete kitchen at your disposal. But the rooms are very small and cramped. For more than one day it makes you claustrophobic.

Nice guesthouse

There is kitchen in the guesthouse, sufficient cooking appliance. But no lift, not very suitable for the one who has heavy luggage. Near VR train station, about 10 mins walk.
