Hotel berhampiran Olkkajärven venesatama, Rovaniemi

We stayed for 3 nights over new year and had a fabulous time. This was our second visit to Lapland, we love it! Check in was very poor, we arrived around lunch time and check in is at 4, the lady said our room wasn’t ready but to return in a couple of hours and it might be, if so we could check in early. We did this but someone else was on reception by this point and he made everyone wait until 3.30-4 to check in despite the room keys all being lined up behind him. When we only had a short space of time there we wanted to get in the room and get wrapped up in all our layers and out into the snow asap! We stayed in chalet 74 which was next to the lake, it was perfect, lots of space, very warm, comfy beds. There is a lovely area next to the lake, this is a sauna and is an extra cost, we didn’t use it but there is a little cabin which sells drinks, a teepee with a fire lit and an inside seating area which looked over the lake. We enjoyed sitting here with a drink. Breakfast was good. We only ate off the snack menu once, very limited menu but burger was good. Buffet dinner was very expensive and was going to cost £150 for 2 adults and 2 kids so we decided against this. We got taxi’s into Rovaniemi and to Santa Claus village, very easy via an app. Roughly 10mins to Rovaniemi and 15 to SCV. It was very cold when we were there and even the locals were struggling with -35 the day we left. Foot and hand warmers are a must. We had frozen hair and eyelashes! We were in the middle of nowhere last time so it was good to be closer to amenities this time. Snowman World was much better than we expected, SCV very expensive in general. We did all the usual activities on our previous trip on a much less commercial basis so didn’t need to do any of this at SCV. Ranua Zoo was a nice day out, the main animals weren’t out but they are very focussed on animal welfare. I would visit Lapland every year if I could!!

Встречали Новый год семьёй в этом чудесном месте. Очень рады ,что не ошиблись с выбором. Отдых на 5 из 5. Это действительно, очень красивое место на природе в окружении рек ( или озёр)) и мохнатых елей,но до города и деревни Санта Клауса рукой подать на машине. Сами домики милые, тёплые и уютные, атмосфера домашняя. Звукоизоляция отличная. Есть сауна, да и вообще всё есть! Хозяева приятные и отзывчивые люди, спасибо им большое! Всё это создаёт восхитительное настроение и соответственно способствует хорошему отдыху! Минусы, если таковые есть, то их совершенно не хочется замечать. Но позволю себе всё же ложку дёгтя. Т.к это был Новый год мне лично немного не хватило посуды и её уже хорошо бы обновить. Ну в целом всё замечательно и мы получили лучше того, что ожидали. Место куда хочется вернуться! Рекомендую 100% P.S. Спасибо большое хозяину Тахиру за крутой салют в новогоднюю ночь !!!

I couldn't have been more satisfied with my choice of accommodation. The quiet and comfortable environment allowed for a restful night's sleep, ensuring I was well-prepared for the adventures of the following day. The only area of improvement would be the condition of the communal garbage bin in the yard. It was the only drawback, as it appeared to be in a rather untidy state. However, this minor issue did not detract significantly from the overall positive experience. In conclusion, Forenom Serviced Apartments in Rovaniemi offers exceptional value for money.

My visit to this place was far from pleasant. The small room felt claustrophobic, and the red-haired waitress made it worse by loudly reprimanding me for bringing a yogurt from an outside store, despite my dinner being prepaid. To add insult to injury, the breakfast food was practically inedible. A regrettable experience overall.

Hotel was in great shape and located center of the city. Many restaurants near the hotel. Breakfast was awesome.

We stayed at Arctic City Hotel on mid-March for 3 nights. Our room was a style double room on the 3rd floor with street view. The hotel's location, at the very center of Rovaniemi, is undoubtedly great. Everything one might need was in walking distance. All tour operators, shopping centers, restaurants, cafe, supermarkets and bus stations (including the bus station for Santa's Village) were literally on your doorstep. Even the central railway station, the interurban bus station and the Arcticum were just 10min away on foot even with snow. You could even walk to the observation tower of the Ounasvaara Fell, following a great path through the snowy forest (aprox. 30 min). The room was clean and warm, not too large but comfortable for a couple, with a quite comfortable bed and an interesting deco. However, the bathroom was not spacious and the shower tube was tiny. Moreover, the shower glass panels should be replaced or better set-up since the floor got soaking wet when we had a shower. The breakfast was very tasty, with plenty of food and very well served in the hotel's quite cozy restaurant. The staff was super friendly and super helpful, both in the reception and the restaurant! To sum up, the owners of this hotel should consider some refurbishment of the rooms and definitely the bathrooms, in order to meet one's expectations from a 4-star hotel and for a better value-for-money rate. Its great pros are the location, the staff and the breakfast. Despite the small bathroom, we really enjoyed our stay there and we would visit this hotel again.

The room offered sufficient space, the bathroom was clean and looked new. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which offered a large variety of food and drinks. The sauna is also very recommandable. The location is central. There is a shopping mall just across the street, local and long distance bus stops are nearby. Personnel was very friendly and supportive.

The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the centre, it's a basic hotel which is clean, tidy and comfortable. Breakfast is more continental with 3 hot item available. The only downside to the hotel is their is no safe in the rooms so had to carry all personal items laptop, money, passport etc around with me all the time. The hotel did offer to put item in their own safe but decided against it. It didn't put me off staying here again and would return.

The Glass Igloo is small and not much space to open the luggage, however they have a very nice hot water shower which has around max. 25mins which you will be able to relax from whole day travel ☺️ . The location is not near airport, takes almost 40mins. shuttle bus from Santa Clause village to hotel. Though this location is really good for the chance of seeing Northern Lights ! We did ! Unluckily their ice bar and ice restaurant both under renovation and we don’t have chance to experience. That’s the downside of it.

Everything is in the hotel. The sauna was also clean and it was nice to be able to cook. It was a pity that the reception was 4 minutes away by car. So it would be inconvenient if you don't have a car.
