The Arctic City Hotel was located in a prime spot, perfect to explore the city of Rovaniemi as well as reach the tour operators (our tour operator was Nordic Unique Travels, and they were right across the street). The room was fine, nothing special but had everything you needed, and the bed was quite comfortable. In a lot of other reviews you’ll read negative things about the shower, which we can indeed confirm: super small and water floods half of the bathroom, but then again: when you’re in Lapland, you won’t stay in your room that much anyways! The people who worked at Arctic City Hotel were all very nice, special shoutout to Diana from the front desk! We also had a great vegan dinner at Monterosa, a restaurant part of the hotel. Vegan breakfast was limited. We would highly recommend the hotel if you’re out and about during your stay, and just need a comfortable place to sleep!

Great place to stay for our first night in Finland before we travelled to Ranua. Well-appointed room with comfortable beds, a table, kettle. Fantastic breakfast - it included, bacon, eggs, salmon, pastries, fruit and cereal. Convenient location.

Friendly staff, clean, tasty breakfast (a bit busy sometimes) and excellent location. The rooms are quite small and the shower crampy. We slept very bad because a man was snoring loudly the whole two nights in the room next to us. There are crumbs between the cushions of the seats in the restaurant. The hotelcost is quite high fot what is worth.

Hi BennyV2, Thank you for your review and your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit with us and that you especially liked our tasty breakfast! However, I have forwarded your feedback to our housekeeping team to have look at the cushion in the restaurant. This definitely isn't up to our standards and we thank you for pointing this out. We hope we get to welcome you back again as our guest at Arctic City Hotel! Kindly, Maria Guest relations

Coming with friend for 2 nights, the hotel is perfectly located, the rooms are big, comfortable and very well design. The entire staff has been amazing, kind and polite. Arriving with the night train early in the morning we were lucky enough to get an unexpected early check-in on this busy period. Special mention for Anna the lady on night shift who was a model of kindness and helpfulness. Definitely will be back for my next trio to Lapland.

Just back from a three night stay with our young son 8. Whole trip was magical, so much to see and do and this is a great base. Some destinations in Lapland need taxis to book to get around but being in Rovaniemi meant it was the ideal base - bus easy to get to Santa's Village nearby and obviously a lot to do at night around town. The main restaurant attached (Monte Rosa) was great - and the staff there and hotel reception, cleaning staff very friendly. The reception area is a nice spot. The room we had was small but we knew this from reviews, the only real issue is the small shwoer/bathroom but the beds were very comfy, room warm, not spending that much time in it with so much to see so was a great base and probably stay again. Go see Santa!

Clean and well maintained. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The inclusive breakfast was also very good with a wide choice of hot and cold meals that were fresh and tasty. The beds were spacious and comfortable and there was a safe. The bathroom although compact had all requirements including a bidet

I spent one night here with my friend in August and it was very hot outside. The hotel was nice and cool and there was very clean both in rooms and in the restaurant and lobby, too. And the breakfast - what a wide range of everything delicious! Especially the homemade granola was worth mentioning! Hotel was very nice and I will definitely stay there in the future!

Small yet comfortable hotel near the Lordi's Square, the de facto center of Rovaniemi Some may feel the rate is a bit high, but for those who have been to Finland before this is actually a lot cheaper
