Stayed 2 nights. Room was comfortable and it was a very quiet area which we liked. You do have to walk/taxi it to here from the main Santa Claus hotel where you check in. Taxi was easier for us since it was snowing and we had luggages. No complaints. Walking to and from the main shopping area was okay, if you have mobility issues it might not be the best place to stay, but other than that it’s a good place to stay!

I’m satisfied with my stay at Sant’s Rudolf hotel. The only thing I wish that the check-in not separate buildings. It’s hard if you have multiple luggages especially when the snow is thick. I’m glad that I read before and even messaged the property. I appreciated my taxi driver for being patient and waited for me to check-in and dropped me off to my actual hotel. Other than that, I slept good. I felt safe. The placed closed to bus station, restaurants and shopping center.

Arrived at Santa’s hotel then have to walk approximately 700 meters up to the hotel. It looks like old office rooms or a hostel that has been converted into a hotel. The room was clean but very small no food or drink available at this hotel apart from a vending machine. I will say though that the room was very clean. Ok for backpackers but unfortunately not for us.

10 min walk to the main city area + check in

The room was quite small and the location wasn’t as convenient especially when it’s snowing. It’s like a 10 min walk to the check in hotel. But they do let you store luggage are the check in spot and let me check in early once the room was ready, which was nice!

Cheap not so cheerful!

Well it's cheap for area. Check in is in different locations quite a walk. No too bad if like me u find hotel (Rudolf) first & park your car leaving baggage in it but still quite a walk in winter in snow/ice. (Parking near hotel Santa Claus where u check in is limited). Hotel Rudolf is total unmanned. Wifi would not work on first evering so went to use phone in corridor to contact staff (@ check in hotel via internal call) this didn't work either. So as I was going into town where hotel Santa Claus is I popped in, got impression they couldn't care less despite fake smile by front desk staff. This was not fixed till morning of me leaving after 2 nights. Room is cold as windows have constant draft curtains don't fit & heating poor only usable because of standalone electric heater &me moving beds out from window, bathroom/ shower very poor and old desperately need refurbish(rooms had been to some extent refurbished.
The whole town is very touristy and set up to rip you off although McDonalds short walk away is good. In essence if you staying in summer or looking for a Hostel style room albeit private bathroom etc then this may suit you: if not then only reason to use is because it's cheap for area but does not justify its cost so if possible I recommend staying in a better maybe more expensive hotel. it was also noisy being no staff to keep check on people oh and lots of threats of charges if u forget your room or front door keys (2 keys) never found a hotel like this before!

Overpriced hostel with private shower

Be aware that even though the info on Expedia says to check in at a completely different location your actual booking confirmation won't have the information of the alternate place which is especially troubling if you're not traveling with data roaming. I complained about it on the check in survey and the staff proceeded to point out that it is on the information but this is prior to doing the booking. Please note that I'm making a big deal about it because the check in place is not close enough if you're traveling with luggage and walking on ice.
That being said, the rooms haven't been renovated in at least 10 years. Faucet, shower and drain are plastic and the tile is dingy. not sure the price is even worth a bed for a few hours which was my first thought. I only stayed for a night and just trying to help other travelers avoid a bad moment.

cons
check in at a differrent place. Could be difficult to shuttle with luggage
not even a proper sign board. One could easily confused the building to be Chinese restaurant
Railway station is not quite so nearer as it msy seem from the review. IT TOOK ME 20 min of hard walking , pulling luggage on on hard snow
At 70 euro I find it to be a bit expensive
then i could not not get anything better. I understand Rovamie

Basic, no frill accommodation

Fit for purpose if your requirements are basic. There is no staff on premise and may be challenging if you need immediate attention (though you can call for help from their main branch located few hundred meters down the road). During our 2 nights stay, they did not make the room. perhaps one need to call the main hotel to request for it. As shared in other reviews, check in is to be done in main branch . If you are traveling in a party especially with young ones during the very cold months, I would recommend that a representative do the check in while the rest and luggage wait at restaurant / cafe besides Rudolf . (Please note that you can't assess Rudolf building without the card keys). Or take a cab. Else It may be challenging pushing heavy luggage from one to the other .

Cheap, well maintained Hotel

We stayed in this hotel for one night in February. It is walking distance from the centre and has everything you would want/ need in the room - even tea and coffee making facilities which other hotels we had stayed in hadn't provided.

There are no staff on site at the hotel, instead you have to check in at the Santa Clause Hotel - we weren't told this so it caused a little confusion. The staff were helpful and allowed us to store luggage etc.

Due to there not being 'staff' at the hotel, it was very noisy in the evening. We got back at bout 11.30pm and groups of young people were having some sort of party above us. If we hadn't been so tired, we would have found sleeping difficult. We had to be up in the early hours for the airport so there was no point in really complaining.

Overall - cheap, well maintained hotel. If you are on a budget or just want a night somewhere, this might be your place!

Santas Hotel Rudolf

Arrived but was not a hotel. Even sign at front door said hostel. Entrance was dull and dank. Rang bell my times and it wasn't answered for about 15 munites. Turned out I did not read booking in procedures, didn't have access to wifi til I booked in, and reception was 1 km down town. I was put off by the outside appearance and mis representation that I did not stay. And it certainly was not what I wanted in a hotel

Best for Students' Budget

I am aware of the practice in Finland for checking in and get the key somewhere, and the hotel is somewhere else. Don't get annoyed with it. You need to walk for about 600m between check in and the hostel. It is very good for value, rooms facing the street have to deal with very bright street lights, but the rest is excellent. The free wifi works well. I hope there's an access to the rooftop to see the Aurora :-) . And this hostel is only few hundred meters away from Arktrium, the main reason I came to Rovaniemi this time.

Good price, no problems everything you need.

If you come to Rovaniemi for the city, then this is enough if you only need a place to sleep, TV and small bathroom and shared kitchen and fridge downstairs. Summer is cheap and usually low patronage. Only hassle was you had to check in at the main hotel, a 10-15 minute walk away but at least you could leave your key cards in a box at the hostel.

Noise from neighbours was minimal. Maybe the sound insulation was good, or just quiet people. About a 5-10 minute walk to the city centre and shops. Not sure if its open in winter or how well its heated during which.

Light blocking curtains were lacking, not large enough. Bring your own dark sheet to hang on the window panes.

The hotel is very nice except distance

The hotel is very nice its own. But the check in place is not the place where hostel locate. After check in , you have to take your luggage in the snow from the check in place to the hostel you stay and it's a very bad experience as google map show you walk only 9 minutes but actually with the heavy luggage and snow , you have to walk at least 30 mins to get there. But except this, the facilities is good. No slipperies and hair washing lotion.

Would avoid this one next time.

We were disappointed with this one. Granted it's only a hostel but checking in 800m away, where the transfer bus dropped us, and then dragging two kids and our suitcases 800m through the ice and snow in -14C is not awesome, although we knew this ahead and so accepted this. When we got to our room there was an unbearable stench from the bathroom so we had no choice but to open the windows (-14C outside!), I called the hotel reception who said they would get the cleaners back 'if they are still around' but no one came, I called again and emailed the reception twice and they just didn't even bother responding, so we slept with Windows partly open to the icy cold, shut the bathroom with the light on so the exhaust would work and held our breath when we used the bathroom.

For loners only

As I was alone and that I didn't want to spend a fortune for a one-night stay, this hostel was really perfect for me, even if I had to bring my own wake-up radio. I would never stay there with friends.

So I really strongly recommend it if you're alone with a low budget. Nice place to stay in these conditions.

Very good overall

It's a great stay with amazing aurora view due to the excellent location, I can even see boreal light from the window of my room. The room overall is very cozy with the wooden floor, and pleasant aroma from wooden wardrobe refreshes my mind. The bed is so comfortable that I sleep very well over three nights. The bathroom is clean and well-sized. The well-equipped kitchen is also very clean and very easily reached by the elevator. Overall it's a very pleasant stay in Rovaniemi.

Convenient Hostel

My partner and I stayed here recently in a twin ensuite room for a week. The hostel had everything we needed for our stay and it was awesome being able to access the kitchen. Please note that you need to check in at the santa claus hotel in the city centre then walk to hostel. The walk is only a couple of blocks. No reception is stationed at the hostel.

It is more like a hotel than a hostel... the great pricing is enough to offset the 10mins walk from Santa Claus Hotel for the check in. Attached bathroom is a MAJOR Plus!

Muuten hyvä paikka yöpyä, mutta lemmikkimaksu 30€ on kohtuuttoman kallis reilun kuudenkympin huoneelle.

Henkilökunta oli hyvin kohteliasta ja mukavaa. Majoitus oli tosiaan sisäänkirjautumisesta toisaalla, mutta tämän tiesi eikä se haitannut. Lähtemisen kannalta oli helpompikin olla lähempänä rautatieasemaa.

Huone oli pieni mutta ajoi asiansa. Pari töpseliä ei toiminut.

Staff at the reception of Hotel Santa Claus are nice and helpful. The room in Hotel Rudolph is basic but clean and tidy. But the bathroom is really a problem. From the design of the room, it can tell that the room is for people with mobility problem so it is not suprised that the bathroom will be an accessible bathroom. But the curtain is unable to block the water when bathing, as a result, the floor of the bathroom is all wet.

Huone oli siisti ja peti pihdas. Kuuma oli. Hiljaista, ei melua mistään. Suihku ja wc huoneessa. Altaan hana huono. Lyhyeen käyntiin ja vain nukkumiseen edullisempi riittävä vaihtoehto. Keskustaan suora lyhyt matka. Edullinen hyvä aamupalan sai ostaa \"Päähotellists\" Santasta.

Staff at Santa Claus hotel is very friendly.
The walk takes about 10mins from Santa Claus hotel where you get the keys to Hotel Rudolf.


Room as a perfectly clean water kettle, offers coffee and tea, hairdryer and TV with many Channels.

We stayed there twice within 1 week and everything was wonderful.

Would come again any time!

Pas på når du bestiller gennem Hotels vi troede vi havde bestilt et værelse med morgenmad. Vi fik et værelse med mangelfuld møblering, våde fødder på badeværelset og ingen morgenmad.
Receptionen var arrogante og ikke særligt imødekommende, men receptionen lå jo også på et andet hotel. Book hellere på nabohotellet til Rudolf der er de flinke og imødekommende

Täytti tarpeeni yöpymispaikkana. Aamiaisen joutui tosin järjestämään itse. Saunakin olisi huoneessa ollut tarjolla, mutta tällä kertaa emme käyttäneet.

Huone oli pieni, mutta riittävä. Tyyny olisi saanut olla tukevampi. Huone oli todella lämmin, vaikka patteri ei ollut päällä. Kovasta pakkasesta huolimatta oli pakko tuulettaa, että sain nukuttua. Muuten oikein riittävä ja toimiva. Avainten luovutus ja muukin palvelu toisessa hotellissa oli oikein toimivaa.

Clean rooms and close to city center

The room was clean, and the bed was good. The hotel is close to a large shopping mall and 5 min. walk to the city center.

If you are just looking for a bed and a shower, this is convenient, as there are no services (like a bar and restaurant) at the hotel. Next door, however, there is a Chinese restaurant. You can get breakfast at Santa's Hotels Santa Claus, a 10 minute walk from the hotel. This breakfast is 14 euros.

Please be aware that you need to pick up the key at the Santas Hotel, a 10-minute walk away. Upon arrival, this was a little unclear to me. So, go there first, so you don't need to go back and forth.

I forgot my gloves at the hotel, and the employees were very helpful in sending them to me. This was great!

The hotel was a bit expensive compared to the standard, but Rovaniemi is a costly city overall. Be aware of that also when planning a visit.

Ni fú ni fá.

Estuvimos 4 noches, pues no fueron ni una vez a limpiar la habitación, ni siquiera a cambiar las toallas, a parte de eso, la entrada se hace en otro hotel, el Santa Claus, que está a 700 metros, como algo positivo, en la planta menos uno, hay una pequeña cocina, frigorífico, microondas, tostadora, para prepararte ahí tú comida si quieres.
