Hotel Aakenus, hotel in Rovaniemi

Located only 1476 feet from central Rovaniemi and 164 feet from Bath House Vesihiisi, is Hotel Aakenus. It offers free parking and freshly decorated rooms and apartments with a TV and free Wi-Fi.

It was just okay, nothing special at all. Not a 4 star hotel for sure, but not even 3. It is a 2,5 star hotel. Not modern at all. The food is just okay. Nothing special either. For this money it is just expensive.

    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    I loved it all..the taxis are quite expensive but the bus was great..I loved it that much I wanted to extend my stay. I will be back to chase the Aurora, unfortunately it didn’t so due to skies full of snow.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (...

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The centre of Rovaniemi is easy to get around and has plenty of shops and cafes, plus supermarkets if you're self-catering. It is a perfect snowy destination in winter. We visited the Snow Hotel (you need to dress up warmly as its pretty cold, but a vodka in the Ice Bar helps!) and also Santa Village, which is probably best for families with small children

    The hotel was brilliant, in the centre of Rovaniemi, everything literally in front of the hotel, buses to Santa Village and Airport are 5 min away, shopping mall the same, great coffee shop across the street and 24/7 shop. The sauna was empty when we went up although they do have designed hours when you can use it depending if you are male or female. Breakfast had loads of options and there is also a restaurant and a bar/grill on the hotel premises both had fantastic food. Would definitely come back if ever in Rovaniemi again.

    Great hotel for a stop over as our flight was late into Finland. The room and bathroom was very clean, very quiet and comfortable. Overall I was impressed with how cheap it was and how well maintained the hotel was. Really good location - we paid 7 Euros for a bus from the airport which dropped us off right outside the hotel, very near to restaurants so we could go and have some food after a long day. Reception were very helpful and the breakfast was busy, but well managed and a good choice.

    Don’t hesitate to book Villa Kyyhkynen if you’re looking for a place to stay in Rovaniemi, and want the privacy of a villa as opposed to a hotel. The villa was perfect for our family of 5 and in beautiful location from where we could go for lots of lovely walks , yet convenient to go into city when needed. It was spotlessly clean, and well equipped in every way . And a very responsive owner!! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

    The hotel, despite its remote location from the city centre and lack of public transportation options, is located in a natural forest park adjacent to a ski resort's chairlifts. The superior rooms and those offering views are notably pleasant. The restaurant and sky balcony have a very good view over the forest and Rovaniemi city. Both the breakfast and buffet (dinner) are commendable for their quality and variety.

    The hostel was clean with fresh sheets provided. The kitchen facilities were very good - young woman with blonde hair was really lovely and helpful - There are guides where you can read through activities on what to do in Lapland - Shop isn’t too far away, you can have very cheap meals which is good - near Santa clause village, good if you want to see Santa, bad if you don’t want to see Santa

    The hotel location is very convenient as it is right next to the Santa Claus village so it’s a very short walkable distance to all the attractions in the village. I liked the cabin houses, they are cute and give off a very Christmasy vibe. I liked the personal sauna inside the cabin. The “Three Elves” Restaurant was good for dinner. I tried the vegan burger there and it was delicious.

    The hotel is in the city center of Rovaniemi, and you have all restaurants, shops, and "safari" companies right next door. The hotel staff is helpful. The lobby and winter terrace, as well as the restaurant of the hotel are comfortable and the food (restaurant + breakfast) are great. The sauna at the hotel was very much appreciated as well!

We also ate from the evening snack menu and found it very good. The Winter Sauna was a great experience and we loved that it was located right next to the ski resort.

    Terrible experience. Expensive hotel that is not at all worth the money paid. We went to Rovaniemi for few days and the holidays were destroyed by an awful dinner at the hotel. When the experience was reported to the staff they didn't care about what happened and started to share a number of excuses. I don't recommend this hotel
