The cottage was very comfy, welcoming, warm, friendly, traditional Finnish-style with well-equipped kitchen. The location is very quiet, surrounded by forest and the bus station is nearby. You can park for free in front of the cottage if you came by car. A little bonus if you have kids: free sleighs at the reception!

The bathroom is pretty small but clean. You have to pay 10 EUR/set of towels and linen, but we knew this before arriving to the motel and wasn't a problem. I have mentioned this because was a bit awkward situation, different from any other reservations made by us over the past years (probably specific to Finland, was our 1st time in this country). The TV is a bit small but we didn't need it! Also, the wi-fi wasn't great, but if you need it you can go to the reception area!

There was a sauna in our little cottage! The kitchen was great, it was a quiet setting, and nice to be outside of the city, but still close enough to get into town in 30 minutes using the bus stop right by the motel. The registration building was a nice community space with food to buy if needed, firewood for your fireplace in your cabin (!!) and they were helpful and kind. We loved having a fire in the fireplace!

The refrigerator rattled when running, the inner walls were not insulated and bedroom doors had holes in them, so we woke each other up a fair bit when we'd get up to use the bathroom at night because we could hear everything. That was the only drawback.

Although Motelli Rovaniemi is far from the most luxurious of accommodation available in the area it offers great value for money. It's location is more suited to people with transport but there is an adequate though not too frequent bus service with bus stops in both directions a few meters from the reception. Staff were helpful and friendly and the room was clean and had all the basics covered. I would say Motelli Rovaniemi is ideal for people on a budget or planning a short stay. We would definitely consider staying again.

The WiFi and TV reception were very patch and seemed to depend on the weather at times. The fact you have to pay for your bed linen is unusual but very reasonably priced especially for what you get. The cooking facilities were very basic, a microwave but no oven. To be honest I'm struggling to find any other real faults. On the whole it was a enjoyable and comfortable stay.

It was a cute cottage with everything we needed. The staff was very clear with the instructions upon check in. We drove, so it wasn't difficult to get to this place and we liked that it was quiet.

We had to pay 10euros for a set of towel and linen, which we think should be priced in. We also had to put the sheets on ourselves, there was also tiny holes in the sheets. Its not a big problem but just a note to future guest. We could barely connect to the wifi considering that our cottage was quite near the reception, so I can't imagine the cottages further away. We also had slight difficulty with the door lock, as it requires abit of force to twist it open, but the "knob" is too small to get a good grip. It could be that we're not used to european door locks.

The cabin was very comfortableand warm. The shared kitchen was well equipped and clean, and each of the 4 lockable rooms off the central kitchen had bunks, a table, drawers, plenty of hooks and a fridge. There was plenty of outdoor space for the children to play, and free toboggans to borrow from reception. We would happily stay there again.

The hot water system was a storage system and grossly inadequate for the number of people using the cabin. Could be up to 16 people, with enough water for 2 showers every few hours - could have been more if people were polite enough to take a very short shower. Needs to be upgraded to an instantaneous hot water system. The accommodation area was very well lit, good for security and walking around at dark, but no good for viewing the Northern Lights - we drove just 5 mins away into the forest on the road to Imari and had a great viewing location though. I would recommend having a hire car if staying here, as it is 10km out of town, and although serviced by the bus, waiting for it in the cold would be no fun! There are no laundry facilities.

Located in a very calm place

No arrangements with taxi drivers or bus for a stop nearby

It is a short drive from the airport and to local attractions like santa's village.. the accommodation is spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 children.. it was very clean and well equipped for our short stay. Beautiful surroundings that are well kept too. All the staff we encountered were very helpful and polite. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

There was no oven, limited food to purchase to cook at the chalet, and no supermarket within walking distance, when temperatures drop to -24⁰ you don't want to risk walking for 2 hours and taxis are around €40. That was the only negative.

Had a wonderful stay at Motelli Rovaniemi. The room size was perfect for solo traveller or couple. The room was well equipped, just like the way it was mentioned on the site, had mini kitchen with vessels to cook food. The staff was extremely polite and always ready to resolve any queries. If you want a peaceful place to enjoy the artic cold look no where.

Transport to the hotel during the weekends gets a bit challenging. Buses run at reduced frequency, so getting to the city centre could be a bit of concern but that's only if you are travelling by public transport. Most of tour operators will pick you from the hotel so would not be problem.

The room was nice and clean. The hostel took place around the nature so the view was suggestive and beautiful. Space was adequately heated and confortable.

This place is great if you travel by car. If you have to travel by public transportation, however, your stay may be difficult. For example, to go to Santa's village you have to take 2 different buses, with an intermediate wait of 40 minutes outside (with the -25 degrees in January). We chose the formula with shared bathroom, it was ok even though there was no gender distinction so while you were showering anyone could come in

It is very beautiful and the staff is very nice We were able to see the northern lights on the last night of our visit. Since we had a late flight they gave us the directions and location of the key The location is very scenic and serene WiFi was ok not horrible as some of the reviews suggested

The location is 9 km away from the city centre so you definitely need a car, the staff is friendly and will give you the bus schedule and help you but keep in mind the distance and the cabs cost a lot.
