This is a family hotel. So expect kids running around, I did not realize this. One my first night, kids was running in the corridor, banging on the walls etc (this was around 8pm!) So I repacked and a staff kindly reallocated me to another side of the building, (Thank you Melissa for doing this.) The hotel never apologized for the inconvenience during the rest of my stay. Not even during checkout. (Which I found surprising given how highly they were rated.) The walls are thin. You can hear TVs from the next room. My neighbor had theirs on till 2am (two nights in a row). I also had another family above me, so kids was running and jumping (but thankfully, they were in bed by 9pm). Tip: To avoid the kids and have a quiet breakfast, you can take it in the bar/lobby area (I learned this from another guest). Otherwise, the restaurants, food and staff was great overall.

We recently stayed at Arctic Light Hotel for our first trip to Finland and Rovaniemi, and it was such a beautiful experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. Wi-Fi worked great, and check-in was quick and easy. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, they even provided us with a wall outlet converter we didn’t have and let us know we’d been upgraded, which was such a thoughtful touch. The entire stay felt peaceful and quiet, which made it the perfect setting for a summer holiday. Every interaction with the hotel staff was warm and welcoming, and we were always greeted with kindness. After long days exploring the city and everything Rovaniemi has to offer, it was so nice to come back to a place that felt calm, cozy, and cared for. Truly grateful for the hospitality. Would absolutely stay here again.

Above all else the staff here are fantastic. Very welcoming, accommodating and knowledgeable, especially Joni. The hotel is very well decorated and has a very warm, cosy and safe feeling. The rooms are spacious and look great with an Arctic theme. The free use of the Sauna is a fantastic perk. We ate at the restaurant a few times and the food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly too. We greatly enjoyed our stay here.

Best Stay in Rovaniemi

We booked this hotel having never been to Rovaniemi. What a surprise in the heart of the city! The hotel was modern yet comfortable. Our Double room with queen bed was wonderful and well appointed. Service was courteous and helpful. Breakfast was a highlight of our day and cocktails at night did not disappoint. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
