Arctic Light Hotel, hotel in Rovaniemi

This boutique hotel is 8 km from Rovaniemi Airport and Santa Claus Village. It features bright, ultra-modern rooms with individually themed décor. WiFi and parking are free.

The fact that breakfast is designed by renowned master chef Sara LaFontain says it all. Variety of tastes and gourmet display in a pleasant environment in the Arctic restaurant. I stayed in a room with sauna. The room interior design is really unique and not to mention the quality coffee provided in the room. Staff was always available for additional info and great conversation. Would definitely come back.

    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 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.

    Very close to the airport Beautiful view and cozy rooms they really maximized the storage space in the room in a way that you don’t fill it’s taking space from the actual room size Breakfast is absolutely delicious it is in my top 3 of all the breaks fast I did around the world quality and choice The overall customer service is fantastic I advise to book activities though the hotel as they are dealing with the best tour operators so yes it might be a little more expensive but worth it.

    From our welcome meet, Aleksi and his family were such amazing hosts. Always available when we needed some help and/or guidance. Provided us with some great tips on what to do in and around Rovaniemi. The location was so serene and absolutely beautiful. The cabin was perfect and cozy for those winter nights. Our highlight was definitely seeing the Northern Lights on our first time. Would definitely recommend and I would definitely be back. Next time, we will be sure to rent a vehicle 😉

    Suvi & Mikko were exceptional hosts. Everything was so flawless starting from the location of the property to the view from the property and above all the warm welcome from our hosts. The property is perfect for a peaceful getaway while still being close to the city center where all tours operate from. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay and have a great role to play in the lifetime memories we captured on our first Finland visit.

    Excellent location for going into Rovaniemi and access to Santa Village and attractions. Great for kids too as sledging and park opposite. Excellent facilities for washing and drying clothes too. The owner had excellent communication before our arrival and throughout our stay, giving us tips and tricks for getting around. I was really nervous about not using a mainstream hotel company but I was so happy! Really warm and quiet too!
