The staff is the highlight of the property. The rooms are not heated enough and there is no lift. The breakfast was fresh. The location is away from Rovaniemi airport and city.

This hotel is ideal if you want to stay away from the city centre life. However, if you want to visit Rovaniemi and what it has to offer, you do need a car.

We stayed in Appartment F. The site is beautiful and well cared for. It's about 20 minute drive to Rovaniemi. The site is next to a river which froze over winter. There is a lovely hut here which has an evening fire. You can also ice bath and enjoy a hot tub here. The room we stayed in was incredible. It included a sauna which was very welcome. The room was big, cozy and well equipped for our stay. The beds were super comfy and had a lot of room around them too. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a lovely buffet which included cooked items as well as local cuisine. We will be coming back and I would recommend others to visit!
