It has great location within walking distance from railway station (10 minutes) and bus station (15 minutes) although it is a little far from city centre (30 minutes on foot). We lived in a twin room that is clean, tidy and warm. Breakfast is standard. Kitchen is clean and tidy. Price is great too compared to other hotels and hostels... More

We stayed in the appartment for 4-6 people, with sauna and private entrance. There are 4 single beds and 1 sofabed - in one large room (no inside doors), which was ok for us - if you need more privacy, you might want to make another choice. . There is a large living room/ kitchen with sufficient space. The kitchen... More

When searching a place to stay in Rovaniemi, I realised, that prices are in generaly quite high. Therefore 110€/night/3 bed room in Christmas season was a good offer. And.. we got good service. Hostel is within 5 minutes walking from the railway station and bus station, which is great. Also nearest supermarket is very close. Only to the center it... More

The hostel is conveniently located where train station and bus station are just next door. The reception is nice and willing to help who gave me clear directions on how to get to places like Artikum or Santa Claus Village. The room is a bit basic, with a bed, a desk, a wardrobe and shower room with toilet, but this... More

Stayed here for several nights whilst we were up from Helsinki visiting Santa's home town and were not disappointed. We had been conversing via email for our booking over the course of over a year and always had friendly replies. Nothing was too much trouble, even for this budget hotel. It's an easy 5-10 minute straight (safe) walk across from... More

Only 400 metres from the station and an ideal place for a short stay. Basic rooms with no TV,however I was in Lapland to explore not sit in my room! Owner was friendly with lots of information. You can take the bus to Santa Village from the station. Will not suit everyone. You get what you pay for.I was happy... More
