This little family run hotel has exceeded our expectations. Meticulously clean, our apartment offered plenty of space, all the kitchen amenities and a private sauna. Breakfast was fresh and generous (and catered for intolerances), staff - very helpful and friendly.

Great attention to guests

We stayed for two nights. The rooms are clean and homely, ours faced a downhill slope with some trees. The location is very close to the train station which was good for us, also buses to the santa village are leaving close by. A 15-minute quite straightforward walk to the city centre which was nice in the snow. The guesthouse is not right next to other houses so it's pretty quiet. The staff is very nice and made some arrangements to adapt to our arrival and departing schedule. Breakfast was good and is included in the price. Wifi worked well. Beds were nice and we slept well. All in all a very nice stay!

Nice & homely

Ten days before Christmas we decided to see some snow in Rovaniemi, but had only limited time. We took the night train arriving on a Monday morning, and the afternoon train back to Helsinki next day Tuesday.  Although we booked a room for only one night, we were welcomed with coffee when we arrived at 8 am and we could leave our travel bag there totally outside of the booked and paid for time of stay.  Breakfast was ample and the entire feeling was very cosy and comfortable, maybe because the house is not modern.  Without luggage, we could enjoy a previously booked husky ride, snow-mobiling in the evening, visiting the Santa park and walking around town enjoying restaurants. Thank you very much !

Warm welcome

I really liked my stay here, so quiet did not feel like a Guesthouse at all. 

From the airport I got a taxi which was 30€, which was what I expected to pay but I did not know there was a shuttle bus for 7€, when I emailed the Guesthouse I was not made aware of this. 

But they booked this for me once I left.

My main aim coming here was to see the Northern Lights.

First night was too cloudy, we only saw a hint.

Second night was much better, even though I have seen much better in Norway, this was so beautiful and my guide from Wild About Lapland was amazing. If you go into their website you book your first tour and for the second you email them and ask for a code for 40% off second tour.

The breakfast was just what I needed, bread, fruits, meats and of course tea and coffee. (Oh and chocolate biscuits!) 

The walk to the centre is 20 mins but it does not sem that far at all and I really enjoyed the walk in the snow.

Wrap up warm at -12 and the wind it can take your breath away.

Staff were all so lovely, and a girl told me she would post my postcards on her way home. So thank you so much for that! 

I do not tend to go back to countries I have been to , but if I did, I would stay here again.

Thank you.

Quiet

After a long train ride all you need is a nice affordable and quiet place to stay a night and this was exactly what I needed. It took about 5mins to walk here from the train station. The beds were comfy and rooms looked they’ve been renovated lately and everything was clean and working. I slept so well. Also it was really quiet there. Check in was at 10am which is a bit too early if you ask me but good thing was that the breakfast is until 10am as well. Breakfast was a typical Finnish breakfast. They got white bread, rye bread and Carelia pies. Boiled eggs, different toppings for bread (ham, cheese, even Nutella etc). Muesli, yogurt, porridge. Coffee and tea and some cookies to go with it. Staff was nice as well. Thank you. 

Next to the train station

Arrived late and tired, but were treated like VIP’s when we arrived!  Staff answered all our questions and were keen to make sure everything was to our liking. Unit was spacious, warm with comfortable bed. Breakfast was lovely with a good selection. We had a good chat with the owner who gave us some good tips for the next part of our journey. Highly revommended

A Little Gem!

I stayed here for two nights as it was very close to the train station. The guesthouse is very simple but also comfortable. The single room I had was quiet and had it's own bathroom. A generous complementary breakfast is included. The guesthouse is also an easy walk to the shopping area. A very pleasant stay.

Very well located, comfortable and well priced

My sister and I spent four days here over Christmas 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although we got a taxi from the train station on arrival with our luggage, the guesthouse was a quick four minute walk through the snow to get to the station, buses (eg, to the Santa Village) and taxis, only a few hundred metres from a small supermarket, and a longer walk to the city. 
The family were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were allowed to stay in the breakfast room while awaiting our room to be ready, as we arrived hours before check in. 
Beds were comfortable and the room large enough for two. The bathroom was adequate. There is also a guest kitchen where you can store and cook your own food, if desired. 
I highly recommend this guesthouse.

Excellent B & B

The location was perfect for us, really easy to go to the center and the Santa village. 5 min walking train station. Buffet Breakfast with good choices. The bedroom was fine, clean and the space was perfect for the 2 of us. They have in-house self cooking kitchen with pots, dishwasher and induction available. On the website there’s no information about laundry service but they do have in-house laundry service for 8€ / per load.

Receptionist people are helpful and friendly.

Stayed in a single room for two nights. It was really cosy and clean!!! I had been travelling for a couple days and slept really good in the comfortable bed. 

There's a shared kitchen, which is really handy. Although, if you're a light sleeper i'd suggest to ask a room that's not on the ground floor. 

The breakfast, for me, was too sweet. But for others this could be okay. The staff was really friendly, location is good too. Right at the train station, and about a 10-15min walk to the centre. It's a great place. Definitely recommend.
