Excellent location, as the bus connectivity from the hotel to city Center in Rovaniemi or airport and railway station is very good. Cottages are tidy and equipped with essentials. The staff was very kind and kept our luggage even though our check in was hours later than we arrived. We were told about what’s nearby and offers we could avail using the hotel’s reservation details

This property is located in Santa’s Village. For those not familiar with the area, this is the place to be when coming to Lapland / Rovaniemi. It’s convenient to all activities like Husky sledding, reindeer sledding, other animals, crossing the arctic circle, visiting the REAL Santa, sending postcards from the official Santa’s post office (where letters from around the world go) and of course shopping. Yes, you have to walk from your cabin to the building where the breakfast and reception is, but it is worth it. The place is clean, and cozy. If you are looking for modern, posh amenities, this isn’t it but for the convenience of everything this meets all expectations. I would highly recommend. Close to the airport too without hearing the noise. You don’t need to rent a car if you are staying here!

Aangezien de chalets voorzien zijn van een klein keukentje, zou het fijn zijn mocht er op wandelafstand een kleine supermarkt zijn waar er onder andere brood verkocht wordt. Het aanbod nu in de Santa shop of Shell tankstation is zeer beperkt.

If there are 10 stars rating and I will give to 10 stars!!! We booked the basic room studio for one night, but the stay was amazing! The village itself got a lot of offers, shops and beautiful Christmas environment! The cottage house looks amazing and there is the sanua room even in the basic room. And the staff are so helpful, especially huge thank you for Ryan to helping us check in earlier, so we can have a shower after a long train ride! Highly recommended this place!

We loved our stay here. We were friends who took two rooms in the same cottage and it was perfect. The Santa theme is really well done throughout the property and there are also some government Santa themed places (Santa's post office, Artic Circle line) nearby. The breakfast was ok but not great, especially for the vegetarians in our group. Overall, a good experience.
