    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    I loved it all..the taxis are quite expensive but the bus was great..I loved it that much I wanted to extend my stay. I will be back to chase the Aurora, unfortunately it didn’t so due to skies full of snow.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The centre of Rovaniemi is easy to get around and has plenty of shops and cafes, plus supermarkets if you're self-catering. It is a perfect snowy destination in winter. We visited the Snow Hotel (you need to dress up warmly as its pretty cold, but a vodka in the Ice Bar helps!) and also Santa Village, which is probably best for families with small children

    Having a car was a must for this property, and it was well looked after with dedicated and covered parking incl. engine heater plug. We had a couple of nights here in February 2022, before heading further north to Levi, and loved it - simple, clean, stylish, and comfortable. The linen and towels were present, as requested, the kitchen had everything we needed in terms of utensils (there are a couple of supermarkets within a short walk) and the cottage (it’s not a hotel) was within an easy drive of the airport and Rovaniemi.

    Brilliant hotel in a peaceful location overlooking Rovaniemi, the Lapland Suites are well suited for Families and well laid out. The in-room sauna was a nice addition to the room. The beds were comfortable. The whole room just felt warm and inviting. Breakfast was had a great selection to choose from, including gluten free with a nice view from the sky restaurant overlooking the snow-covered trees. Staff are very helpful and welcoming, and all public areas of the hotel were immaculate and clean.

    This is a great place you must book at least one night if you are planning to stay in Rovaniemi, very nice treatment. The room was clean, good space and free parking lot. Breakfast is included, the bus stop to arrive from airport or train is exactly in front of the hotel. As it is well know you can arrive very easy and you if you book some tours it is located 10 mins from the center, tour operations can pick you at the hotel .

    We had a wonderful stay in the chalet. The location is nice and quiet, it's cozy and the view of the frozen lake is beautiful. We even got to see the northern lights! Easy check-in. About 20 min drive from Rovaniemi city, so better if you have a rental car (which I generally recomment when going to this area). We even took a typical Finnish ice bath and went to the outdoor jacuzzi afterwards - what a great experience!

    Warm, comfortable and clean guesthouse, very helpful staff and a really good buffet breakfast. Rooms are basic but warm and clean. There is a communal kitchen for use. Location is good - beside a supermarket and train station (and Santa bus stop) and 10-15 mins walk to shopping mall and museums and the walk along the river. The rate was very favourable compared to other hotels in Rovaniemi. Highly recommended.

    A great location in the centre of town with a park for kids outside. Sledding and an ice rink in the park! It was a perfect place to stay. Clean and warm. Warm being very important in December in Finland! Lots of space in the apartment and a great host. We could not have asked for anything more from Joel. We (family of 4 with 2 kids aged 4 & 8) recommend very highly.

    The main hotel lobby and restaurant area were very cosy and inviting with a lovely atmosphere. The breakfast was great with excellent choice and good quality food. We also ate from the evening snack menu and found it very good. The Winter Sauna was a great experience and we loved that it was located right next to the ski resort.

    This is a self catering apartment block behind one of the main hotels in downtown Rovaniemi, and is a budget option. I knew it was a budget option, in a city where budget options other than shared dorms are few, and I got what I paid for. I have no complaints at all. Affordable, well-located and secure. It did the job

    This place is absolutely magical! We were lucky enough to see the northern lights from the warmth of our beds. The igloos are made so thoughtfully with every part of it made for a specific function for your comfort. The hot tub was perfect even in such cold weather! The setting is beyond beautiful
