Excellent location, felt safe. Was clean, warm, cosy, and friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend. A little dated but part of its history ( pictures of how it looked many years ago on walls) and feature.
Everything we needed as a base

We just stayed 1 night so we weren't looking for a spectacular hotel. However, for the cost we expected more than what we got. The location and complimentary breakfast options were very good. The staff could have been a bit more friendly and the hotel definitely needs an upgrade. Especially in the rooms like the beds and showers.

Good service but poor hardware.
The staff were friendly and the room was spacious. However there are a lot of rooms that are not accessible by lift, and very often tourists had to carry their luggage’s up and down the long staircases, which is very often not easy to do. So be careful when selecting this hotel - if you’re travelling with wheelchairs or heavy luggages, maybe another hotel would be better. If not, Scandic Polar is perfect.

Kiva yöpyminen Rovaniemellä
Kuvien perusteella vanha hotelli, mutta yllätti positiivisesti. Henkilökunta todella ystävällistä ja mukavaa!
Très bonne option pour visiter Rovaniemi et les alentours.
Chambre propre et confortable
Excellent emplacement on peut tout faire à pied: aller aux restaurants (nombreuses options), se balader dans la ville, bus pour le village du pere noel, départ d’ excursions
Ville calme et sûr
Le petit déjeuner était très bon
