Love the glass ceiling and we were fortunate to see the northern lights from our room, it was AMAZING !!! Didn't like the 2 twin beds, would be better to have queen bed instead,and their dinner menu/food was really pricey.

It was an amazing experience, the staff was super helpful and attentive, the location is perfect with the village really close to Santa’s Village and a lot of activities around, and the accommodation is amazing. We got to see the norther lights from our room and the view was incredible. Definitely we’ll be coming back in our next trip to Rovaniemi.
