Great location

We had a great time at Nova Skyland Hotel. It was a 5 days trip (4 nights) family trip to Rovaniemi. We were not lucky to have a proper winter weather on the first two days and the hotel location, walking distance from Santa Claus Village, plus the option for staying at Nordic Cottage saved our trip. Breakfast was good. The room cleaning could be better, as we found some hair in the bathroom.

NovaSkyland is so nice inside and out and only steps away from Santa Claus village ! I liked the two story unit and idea of a bed on the upper and lower floors and two independent bathrooms. In-room sauna is a winner !!! And the thoughtfulness of preparing sandwiches for early checkouts is great !

One of the next hotels I have stayed in so far. The wooden house was very cute and clean. It’s double-decked and super spacious. The staff were very friendly, particularly a male staff who speaks Cantonese who introduced our room to us patiently. One bad thing is the la k of autograph alarm.

Stay here for 3 nights. Loved the in-room saunas, location and the staff was friendly and helpful. A couple of things. There are no thermostats in the rooms and the temperature is kept quite warm. If you are a hot sleeper, this could be a problem.

We booked here thinking it was more remote than it actually was. It's on the same complex as Santa Claus Village which was a surprise. The hotel was very good though. We had a cottage which was clean and spacious with a private sauna. The only disappointing thing was that there were no music channels on the TV, v limited channels when you want to stay in and relax. The breakfast was great and all staff friendly and helpful. Recommended.

This hotel and room is beautiful, however it is not ideal if you want to see the northern lights, because it is inside Santa Claus Village and they keep lights on 24/7. You will only see the aurora if there are zero clouds and they are very strong in the sky. If it is cloudy you’ll see the reflection of the light pollution in the village. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay. The amenities in the room are great, the bed is comfortable, and the staff is very professional and nice.

Beautiful rooms, nice breakfast and dinner, well located. Rooms were a bit warm and didn't seem to be adjustable. Stairs have an automatic motion sensor that can't be disabled (unless blocked with a ladder) so beware if you have children sleeping there. Kindly provided an extra roll away bed for a 2nd child. Don't expect to see northern lights from the room unless they're very strong as there are lights nearby - should be viewable after a short walk - unfortunately not during our visit.
