The service is friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I especially recommend stopping by the pub Pisto, located downstairs in the hotel, whose rough clientele and simple interior give an impression of a different, original Rovaniemi than the Christmas lights on the tourist streets show. Prices in the high (close to the Christmas time) season are very high, but so they are everywhere at Rovaniemi.

We stayed here for two nights on a business trip. The hotel has everything you need or expect. While available, I did not try the sauna. The rooms were clean and of average size. You can open the window, something I value highly. The beds were a little narrow and reminded me of a hammock. I slept well anyway. The room was much too hot, but the receptionist was very helpful and solved the problem. Breakfast was good, although nothing special. In general, the hotel shows its age. In one way, it’s the charm of the 50s. But some aspects would benefit from renovation and modernization. The staff, not just the receptionist, but everyone, was very friendly and helpful!
