The staff is the highlight of the property. The rooms are not heated enough and there is no lift. The breakfast was fresh. The location is away from Rovaniemi airport and city.

This place is a bit outside Rovaniemi (18 min by car) along the road towards South. We took it to accomodate us on our way back home from family skiing trip at Levi. The building is an old schooling facility for the forest rangers. You can feel the history of the buildings but inside the rooms you have a modern touch. The rooms are very spaceous and allowed easily our 4 person family to fit in with ease. The breakfast was great and the staff was very helpfull and nice. There was a sauna also downstairs that we didn't get to test this time. Also I suppose the river next to the hotel would be open for swimming during the summer months.

This hotel is ideal if you want to stay away from the city centre life. However, if you want to visit Rovaniemi and what it has to offer, you do need a car.

I was there in January, it was an absolute amazing stay! The staff was so friendly and down-to-earth like we ‘Dutchies’ are as well, I loved my stay. Would recommend this to everyone who wants to visit Lapland. The tours are great too! 5 stars *****. Greetings Arlin :)

We stayed in Appartment F. The site is beautiful and well cared for. It's about 20 minute drive to Rovaniemi. The site is next to a river which froze over winter. There is a lovely hut here which has an evening fire. You can also ice bath and enjoy a hot tub here. The room we stayed in was incredible. It included a sauna which was very welcome. The room was big, cozy and well equipped for our stay. The beds were super comfy and had a lot of room around them too. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a lovely buffet which included cooked items as well as local cuisine. We will be coming back and I would recommend others to visit!
