Location is walkable distance the city center, close to the bus stop to Santa Claus Village and the Airport. Breakfast in the package is awesome delicious. Friendly staffs that gave us the suggestion for travelling around. Properly is clean.

The breakfast time at the weekend start at 8am while start at 7am for the weekday. We have to miss the breakfast we love on Sat morning because have to catch the flight but that's not the big deal. In the share kitchen, I suffered with the irresponsible guests who made their food exploded in the Microwave, occupied the stove like their own asset, didn't close fridge tightly. There are always chances in the hostel of meet these annoying guests. But I'd be great if the hostel assign staffs to regular visit the public kitchen to keep peace.

Phuck mii ... the app dumped my lengthy, thoughtful review. Sorry ... this is all you're gonna get! Summary: - Stay here. The staff are wonderful. It's exceptionally clean, safe, and generally provides good value for the money. - Eat dinner at the nearby Pure Pizza 🍕 or Pure Burger 🍔. The restaurants seem to share a common kitchen. Pictures posted below. - Avoid the nearby karaoke club, Roy's Bar. No bueno. - Instead, at the nearby People's Pub, ask the friendly blonde bartender if you may have a slice of FREE carrot cake 🥕 🍰 (w/ milk!) at Kansankatu 15, 96200 Rovaniemi, Finland. - Important: When ordering a drink, ask for the "yellow sticker" discount! See example, below. Also, tell her the American from Washington DC sent you.

N/A If you're looking for the legendary hostel party atmosphere, look elsewhere.

The hostel was right in the town centre minutes away from an airport bus stop and main supermarkets. Kitchen was well equipped with a kettle, coffee maker and a microwave. The fridge was big enough to fit everyone’s groceries (we went in March, not sure how it is in the high season). There were enough showers and toilets so no waiting time. These were all super clean and shower was hot and amazing. There is a socket in the bathroom to plug in a hairdryer etc. The room (we slept in a dorm) was spacious and lockers were provided together with a key, so no need to bring your own padlock. Towels and super clean bedsheets were provided. The beds were extremely comfortable and very very clean. There are 2 sockets by the bed and also a reading light. The hostel is very well maintained and we would stay there again.

The staff at Café Koti was very friendly. They even offer a free sauna session for one hour per day (females - males seperated) which was why I booked at this hostel. They also have a nice café downstairs which I couldn't use (because I had to leave very early) but it looks really welcoming!

There is not so much privacy within the dorm. It did not matter to me that much as I was there alone but if the dorm had been full, it would have been nice to have a curtain or sth like that for the own bed.

Loved the sauna time and the fact that there is a special time for women and men. Love the breakfast buffet, price is reasonable and quality good, the homemade bread excellent. Love the location, just few steps from the river ! beautiful walk. Functional kitchen and smiling staff.

Bunkbeds are a bit too light, so whenever the person below moved, i could feel it straight. It might be good to invest in heavier bunkbeds. But mattress are comfortable enough, so all good still. Maybe good to add some curtains for some privacy. If it is your firstime in dorms, make sure to bring earplugs and eyemask ;)

Good location, near a lot of the bars and restaurants in Rovaniemi. It has a sauna! First hostel I've stayed in with a sauna, and its decent too. Staff were really friendly. Good breakfast with plenty of options. Plenty of facilities in the kitchen area and all very clean.

I stayed in a 12 bed dorm and there was no blackout curtains!! This was in the summer too when it doesn't really get dark. It really needs better curtain. Bring a sleeping mask. The bunk beds are a bit rattly getting into too (hard not to make loads of noise - bring ear plugs).

The property is in the centre of Rovaniemi and a perfect base for exploring Lapland. The room was nice and comfortable. The kitchen facilities were clean and well stocked. Breakfast was a lovely touch and the continental spread was tasty. We loved Cafe Koti (the cafe downstairs)- the atmosphere there was warm and the staff were helpful. We will definitely be back!

The curtains in our room didn’t fully cover the window and during June that meant that the room was quite light. Bring a sleep mask with you if you are a light sleeper!

Extremely close to everything, bars, pubs, travel agencies, bus stops, river and all major attractions in the town. Very clean and well maintained property. You can clearly notice that owners and staff really care about this property! Breakfast is amazing! Freshly baked bread, great coffee, loved it! And only €9 for the dorm guests. Included in private room rental. Staff extremely polite, nice and well informed about town and its attractions. Bathrooms and kitchen spotless clean, to be fair same as rooms Rooms well maintained, equipped in lockers, blankets. It was quite warm in the rooms considering records breaking freezing temperatures. The best hostel I’ve ever been to!

Absolutely nothing!

Very clean, comfortable hostel. I haven't stayed at a hostel in years, so I was a bit nervous but it was great. This is really a hotel with some shared facilities. We had a room with a private bathroom and it felt like a hotel, but with the bonus of having a kitchen just down the hall. It was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was great. The staff was very helpful and responsive before we arrived and while we were there. They left the key to our room with very clear instructions since we arrived after hours.

- Spacious and air conditioned rooms - Common spaces well cleaned - Excellent breakfast - Convenient location

- Kettle in the common kitchen is old, burnt on the bottom and plastic one, probably not BPA free. - They hang normal cotton puffy towels in the toilets. I understand going with sustainable option but ordinary towel not good for hygiene when people are not from same household in this case. They could place an automatic towel machine with washable towel roll. - There are no wall shelfs to let us put our items such as toothpaste, brush, shampoo in toilets and bathrooms.
