Santa's Igloos Arctic Circle, hotel in Rovaniemi

Santa's Igloos offer stylish glass-roofed igloos by the Arctic Circle, 8 km from central Rovaniemi. WiFi and parking are both free.

Everything was perfect. We arrived early (around 11:30) and luckily our igloo was already available. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. They took our luggages to our igloo, so we didn't have to worry about carrying them in the snow (same thing when we checked out). We were a group of 4 to stay in the same igloo and the space was perfect. The main room (where the glass wall and ceiling are located) even had an extra bed, so the 4 of us could be there an appreciate the sky in the evening all together. Don't miss the dinner, we had the artic char with lobster and it was amazing (also great starters and dessert). Breakfast had a nice selection of items to feed all tastes. And the best thing, we were lucky to see the northern lights from our window during our stay there. Not a cheap accommodation, but definitely worth it

    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    I loved it all..the taxis are quite expensive but the bus was great..I loved it that much I wanted to extend my stay. I will be back to chase the Aurora, unfortunately it didn’t so due to skies full of snow.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The centre of Rovaniemi is easy to get around and has plenty of shops and cafes, plus supermarkets if you're self-catering. It is a perfect snowy destination in winter. We visited the Snow Hotel (you need to dress up warmly as its pretty cold, but a vodka in the Ice Bar helps!) and also Santa Village, which is probably best for families with small children

    The Guest House is warm and tidy, you feel at home as soon as you enter in there, it does not look like a hotel because of the familiar enviorment all around. The location is perfect to visit Rovaniemi. The city center is 3 min walk from the structure and you have the shopping center and the restaurants all around. Bus stop to Santa Claus Village and to the airport is also very close to the Guesthouse.. There is a Spa with Sauna and Swimmingpool just behind the building..I would definately stay there again.

    Such an amazing property. Exceeded my expectations. Beautiful location and hosts were so friendly. Villa was very clean and had everything we needed. You will need a car, but there is on-site parking and it is easy to find. Only 30 mins from centre of Rovaniemi. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back. The view of the northern lights over the lake was a definite highlight. Thank you Kati and Petri for allowing us to stay in such a lovely place.

    Everything was perfect. The room were very comfortable, warm and clean. We had a family room with a view over the river. We had a hot power shower which was just perfect every evening when we returned to the room. Hotel was a 1 min walk to centre with access to all shops, restaurants and approx 3/4 mins to McDonalds and Burger King. Angry Birds Children Park was approx 6/7 min walk.

    A great location in the centre of town with a park for kids outside. Sledding and an ice rink in the park! It was a perfect place to stay. Clean and warm. Warm being very important in December in Finland! Lots of space in the apartment and a great host. We could not have asked for anything more from Joel. We (family of 4 with 2 kids aged 4 & 8) recommend very highly.

    Had absolutely everything we needed. Comfortable and spacious compared to a hotel room. Even saw the Northern Lights from the terrace - though because of other buildings they had to be reasonably high. Think you could go down to water’s edge but as we arrived in the dark we were a bit reluctant to investigate in the dark. Would have loved to stay there longer.

    There was no breakfast although it is stated on booking.com that there is a breakfast. There is only public shower facility which is not at all convenient. The location is bad because you can only reach there via taxi which is expensive. However, for the cheap prices it is not too bad.
