Great stay

Reviewed By durhamwasp

Stayed here for 3 nights with 4 kids and had a brilliant time! First it must be noted that Santasport is a sports training resort/centre and not a 5 star hotel, if you are ok with this then you'll have a great time! We stayed in a Hotel suite for 6 with a sauna in the main building and used the excellent swimming pool each day, as well as the kids play centre multiple times. We ate breakfast (self service buffet) each morning which was fine for us (again, don't expect a full English) with porridge, beads, cheeses, fruits etc as well as bacon, small sausages and scrambled eggs. We also ate on the evening time, which was equally good value at €11 per adult for self service buffet. The resorts position is less than 10 minutes walk to the supermarket and about 25 minutes into the city or to the ski slopes. Buses are rare and so other than walking you'd need to take a taxi. Will definitely recommend this hotel and hope to be back one summer too.

Our first night in Lapland we stayed here in a perfect cottage. All you need is available, the beds are very well, also the bathroom with a sauna in it, was okay. It's not a holiday season at the moment, butt we had a pleasant stay. When we came in the heating was already on, the cottage is near all the availabilities of father christmas. Also a restaurant is open. The breakfast in Santa's house was okay. Next time we stay here again !

Wonderful stay

Reviewed By epigramic

Great location near the pedestrianized shopping area. Had 2 types of rooms the arctic room was huge and spacious while the polar room with sauna seemed smaller because of a wall between the sofa area and the bed. But you get 2 TVs due to the wall. Rooms were beautifully decorated and the polar bear wallpaper reminded you that you are in the arctic. Bed was comfortable and air-conditioning kept the room cool. Three provided toiletries and bathrobes/slippers were luxurious. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection but did not appear to offer fresh juices. The car park was quite full even during the low summer season. Overall a wonderful stay.

Very good visit

Reviewed By laura1234591

We stayed one weekend night at Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Rovaniemi. The hotel's staff were friendly and willing to serve. Our standard room was nice, very clean and quiet. The room temperature was quite warm but we enjoyed it after the day spent outside. Parking in a garage was cheap (12 €/day) and the hotel's location was very good. The breakfast was also very good and included some tasty Lapland foods.

1 night stay Ounasvaara Chalet near river

Reviewed By trary2015

We requested a chalet near the river and got one just back from it. It was very quiet when we stayed in February. It was clean and compact, the kids loved sleeping upstairs and the beds were huge. We had breakfast which was busy, but everything was restocked as it went down, and there was a good selection. The kids liked the waffle maker. Perfect for one night, to be near the airport.

Amazing hotel with incredible views!

Reviewed By 793tomj

We came here for our first night in Finland before we headed further north to Levi! Our only regret from this trip was that we didn’t spend longer here. The hotel is set in an incredible woodland which was covered in snow. It looked like something from a film! The hotel interior was very modern with a cozy feel. The view from the down stairs sitting area was incredible. The hotel staff were all very helpful and we felt that they couldn’t do enough for us. The room itself was amazing. We had a junior suit which was very spacey and decorated amazingly - see the pictures. We had a sauna in our room also, although we didn’t have time to use it. The view from the room was of the winter forest which surrounded us. The breakfast, which was included in our booking, was also amazing. I was able to try a typical Finnish delicacy, smoked reindeer omelette. Luckily, we were back in Rovaniemi for our final night of our trip, before our flight so we managed to get dinner in he hotel. Amazing food in an amazing restaurant. Both myself and my wife can’t talk highly enough of this hotel and we are already planning our next visit!

Centrally located hotel

Reviewed By aji

Great location and smiling staff. We booked two rooms for two nights. We arrived from Helsinki by train at 0730am, and surprisingly, the reception staff allowed us to check-in. It was a great help to us as we had just come on a long journey. The rooms are cozy and have all the required stuff like the locker, tea and coffee maker, comfortable bed, tv with casting, mini bar, toiletries etc. We had a pleasant and cozy stay. Last day after checkout we stored the luggage in the hotel as our train was at 0830pm. We recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Rovaniemi. There are many restaurants and supermarkets nearby. To buy alcohol there is Arko near 500mts.
