Hostels in Rovaniemi

Very friendly staff, very cozy design, very friendly atmosphere

it was perfect! centrally located, clean and a good breakfast and amazing staff :)

I liked the accommodation. I met new friendly ppl there and the place was quite clean.

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.
