This hotel was our absolute highlight on our trip through Finnland. From the very first step until saying goodbye the experience was great! The personnel - everybody - friendly and supportive. The breakfast was great so we decided to stay for dinner - that was outstanding! The room very luxurious, with lots of space and comfortable beds. The hotel is located in the center of Rovaniemi, bus directly in front of the door. When we will come back to Rovaniemi we will for sure stay in the Arctic Light Hotel! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

I don’t think you need a lot of time here in the spring or summer because a few of the tours don’t operate but it’s still worth visiting. Beautiful pristine area that reminds you of the beauty of nature.

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.

Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (...
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 breakfast was great so we decided to stay for dinner - that was outstanding! The room very luxurious, with lots of space and comfortable beds.

Having a car was a must for this property, and it was well looked after with dedicated and covered parking incl. engine heater plug. We had a couple of nights here in February 2022, before heading further north to Levi, and loved it - simple, clean, stylish, and comfortable. The linen and towels were present, as requested, the kitchen had everything we needed in terms of utensils (there are a couple of supermarkets within a short walk) and the cottage (it’s not a hotel) was within an easy drive of the airport and Rovaniemi.
If I had to use one word to summarize our stay, it would be: Exceptional! The design of the igloo/apartment was amazing. The views from the room were lovely, and the private hot tub + sauna were wonderful. They served the best breakfast in Lapland and we also enjoyed an amazing dinner at their restaurant. The staff was courteous, friendly, and did everything to make our stay amazing. If you have plans to visit Rovaniemi, you MUST stay here!
Don’t hesitate to book Villa Kyyhkynen if you’re looking for a place to stay in Rovaniemi, and want the privacy of a villa as opposed to a hotel. The villa was perfect for our family of 5 and in beautiful location from where we could go for lots of lovely walks , yet convenient to go into city when needed. It was spotlessly clean, and well equipped in every way . And a very responsive owner!! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!
If you want to be in the heart of Rovaniemi, this building is exactly there. Close to the shops, restaurants, tourist agencies, etc when it’s cold that is important… no breakfast at the hotel itself but hostel Koti just across the street offers a basic but excellent price/quality breakfast that you can book via the hotel.
Location of the hotel is in the downtown of Rovaniemi. Lots of restaurants are around the hotel, so food is not a problem during stay. Also, there is a supermarket just across the road. It is a building with large LEDs on the wall, go inside and down by an elevator, you can buy snacks, fruit, drinks, and sledge there.
For a summer trip in Finland, this is really a unique place to stay at... and you get to meet Santa in person, too. :-). But seriously all was excellent... the friendly and helpful reception staff, breakfast, etc. The 1.5 km long Santa Claus Forest Nature Trail gives a short but good hiking experience.
Helpful, pleasant staff and good location near to the centre of Rovaniemi. Reasonably priced for two nights and generally very functional. The bathroom, shower and sauna were clean and a good size.
Generally a good stay, but it definitely feels like a sports centre first and a hotel second.
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.
Great hotel in the middle of Rovaniemi. Comfy beds and all helpful team. Parking free of charge. One of the best breakfast buffets we ever experienced. We have been staying here for the fourth time and will always gladly return.
Beautiful spot , 20 minutes from Rovaniemi you can really feel connected with the nature around. At night you can enjoy a jacuzzi and sauna under Lapland sky. Enjoy the sunset and sunrise from your igloo on the lake.
I loved the view from the window. The wonderful staff very helpful and accommodating. The location of the hotel is near santas village. Very private location. Beautiful Rooms. Love the Rakas Restaurant.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The friendly staff made the experience truly memorable, and the hotel’s unique charm. Plus, having a sauna included was the ultimate for relaxation.
everything was simply fantastic! perfect location, perfect rooms, perfect breakfast. one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at and would for sure recommend it to anyone visiting Rovaniemi.
Convenient hotel in Rovaniemi city center. Staff was friendly and helpful, rooms are comfortable and had a nice view. We asked for a bath tub, and got it. Breakfast had a good variety.
The breakfast was as good as last time we visited Arctic light hotel. Cheeses, alcohol free sparkling wine, little bakeries and ”more basic” breakfast food were great at the breakfast.
It’s a little outside Rovaniemi, in a forest. I love thé ease of walking in the forest from the hotel. It’s also a nice walk to the town center and the science museum.
