Hostels in Rovaniemi

Well, it is an amazing place! I did not expect that at all. Hostel is made in an old restaurant/bar but it was rearranged to facilitate the hotel type of rooms. Huge living area, kitchen - all well equiped. Toilets, showers, everything extremely clean. Whole interior have a great style of movies, glamour, Gucci etc. It even smell glamour 😉Super cool 🙂 parking available. Many cable socets to connect chargers etc. Location is in the city center, close to all shops. We got directions how to reach the place with photo where to park, where is the entrance and so on. Owner of the place very friendly, open to answer all your questions. Smiling all the time 🙂 absolutely fantastic and unique hostel.

Hostel is located on a minute-two walk distance from the main street. Very clean rooms, toilettes and common building parts. There is a small kitchen and utensils in case of necessity. The staff was very polite and always ready to help.

Close the Santa Clause Village. Met good people with the one day I was there. I hope to be back.

Amazing place! Location is fantastic because it’s directly in front of the bus stop and glued to the supermarket. You can also walk to the Santa Claus Village, the path is beautiful. Important to note: we weren’t able to find the city bus routes in Google maps, but the bus from the city center to the hostel is bus 8 direction Arctic Circle. When returning from the hostel to the rail station, consider the time, it took us more than 45 minutes. We also caught a glimpse of the aurora from the front of the hostel!!! Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see more. Rovaniemi is an expensive place, so this was the most cost effective place we found.

I booked this place because it was cheap- I don’t usually take chances on hostels with such low ratings as this had- but I am so glad I did with this one. It was cozy and felt like a home. You cannot beat this price and value for money in Rovaniemi. The sauna was lovely, the bed was comfortable, and there was an instant homely feeling coming back after a long day- the heating is really, really good. You’re a short walk away from a supermarket and also a stunning national park with forest trails and picnic shelters with bbqs- this national park is also known for being a good spot to see the northern lights! You’re also a short walk from a bus stop which connects you with the town centre and all of the main attractions with ease. The area is quiet and peaceful and feels very safe. All in all I would rebook this place in a heartbeat- a hidden gem in Rovaniemi- and a great option for solo travellers coming on a budget.
