Old small hotel in Rovaniemi, the location is convenient, staff extremely amicable and friendly. The only inconvenients are the stairs since there are no elevators and the room’s bathroom which is very small. However, if you are staying for just a few nights, I think the hotel is a good option.

Lovely central hotel to explore Rovanemi

We had a wonderful time staying at the hotel it was in the perfect place very close to town. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty only complaint we had was buffet prices were changed half way through our stay and we weren’t told in advance only when we went to pay. Reception staff were very knowledgeable and went the extra mile finding a sledge for my daughter to enjoy the snow. Sauna was lovely, clean only thing to say is watch your head in the sauna as the ceiling is quite low

If you're looking for luxurious accommodations, I'd pass. It's a little rustic. Almost spartan. But it was clean, quiet, comfortable, very friendly staff, and great breakfast buffet! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good deal and a good meal.

Like other reviews have said, the rooms are tiny and theres no stairs - but the clerk carried my luggage up and I wasnt spending much time in the room anyway. Within easy walking distance of town, staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to help. The guy who checked me in was incredible, 10/10. I thought it was cozy despite being outdated. Its servicable and warm, but nothing luxurious. Id stay there again in a heartbeat.

Hotel Aakenus has a good location , friendly and helpful staff . Rooms are basic but clean . Bathroom however is under average and urgently in need of renovation. With only 1,5 sqm including shower , toilet and sink it is impossible to keep the bathroom dry and properly shower. Breakfast is good , some fresh bread , eggs , yoghurt and fruit . For a short layover the hotel is acceptable but definitely overpriced. For these standards a budget of 100-130 euro per night would be fine but no 270-300 euro per night. I would give the hotel a 2,5 - 3 star overall .

The hotel is close to the city center and a very convenient mall and restaurants. Great location. Only 9 minutes walking if there is not ice. Lordi Square, Nili restaurant, Pure burger and more all by walking distance even the bus to Santa Calus Village and airport. At the mall there is a Article Park office where you can be able to book the aurora tour and more. Also a supermarket. The breakfast is good many options. Sauna available only two hours based in a schedule. A little expensive but is close to de city. I booked two weeks before and l stayed four nights.

A good place to stay

Not a bad place to stay. Room was nice, quiet (except some random low frequency intermittent noise), but it didn't last into the night. Close and convenient to downtown. A short walk, but not bad. Staff was friendly and breakfast wasn't bad.

I was supposed to stay in Rovaniemi for one night and next morning fly out to Helsinki. My flight got canceled and my only option was to take an overnight train from Rov to Helsinki. I tried to explain my situation to the front desk staff and she was completely unhelpful. That same rude woman also checked in my friend and he had asked if he could do early check in (not an uncommon thing to ask if hotels can accommodate when rooms are available). Her response was, "Did you read the booking information?" Also asked if he could leave his bags until check in (another common request) and she was short about that and said he could do what he wants with the bags. My only negative experience my whole week trip in Norway/Finland was this hotel.
