Top University of Lapland Hotel Reviews

Arctic City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Arctic City Hotel has a perfect location in the heart of Rovaniemi center, easy to walk everywhere and about a ten minute walk to the wonderful Arktikum Museum and it's a lovely walk on scenic paths. The Staff is amazing and go out their way to assist you with any matters or inquiries in regards to bus travel, shop locations and restaurants. Definitely get the breakfast plan for your stay, it is well worth it and has an abundance of food choices and great coffee and berries. The rooms are cozy and definitely exhibit a bit of Lapland-ish character, they even give you the choice of not having your room turned over every day, this was good for me because I traveled alone, oh yeah, and just a few hundred feet from the hotel is a 24 hr. supermarket, so that's a huge plus too. I'll be coming back for sure next year. Kiitos to all the great Staff including the house cleaning staff."

Santa's Hotel Santa Claus

HAAWE 1933 - Boutique Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is fabulous!!! The rooms are super clean with daily room service. The refrigerator is stocked with breakfast plus foods that are restocked daily. There’s a kitchenette with a skillet, pot, and dishes. There’s a free laundry room…And the location is in the city center with less than a 10 minute walk to the supermarket, activity centers and the bus stop. I loved this booking"

Hostel Café Koti

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff, good location, place was clean, just needed the shower and toilet to be separated better other than a curtain."

Kotimaailma Apartments Siljotie

8/10 Good

"We did not receive the details to enter the apartment till we called them up on reaching the apartment which was very inconvenient as there are many apartments and the name on them is different from what was there in the booking. We wasted a lot of time trying to locate it and get the checkin details standing in the cold outside, so the starting experience was not good at all. The apartment is very nice and the location good. However, we found it difficult to use the oven as there were no oven gloves or aluminium foil, we wern't sure if any of the dishes were oven proof. There is a washing machine but no detergent. When we asked them for it they asked us to come to their office which was 2 km away instead of delivering it or making sure everything required was available in the apartment in the first place, so their processes need some looking into! There was salt and oil only provided, no sugar, tea, coffee or creamers! We didn't find any shops closeby!"

Scandic Polar

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and cleanliness. Excellent breakfast. "
