Boasting a bar, Hostel Saana is situated in Kilpisjärvi. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Free private parking is available and the hostel also features ski equipment hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. This hostel was definitely better than what we expected. The host was very accommodating for our late arrival, and we were able to do everything on our own. This was our first hostel stay, and we were impressed: aside from sharing a bathroom, which many westerns are not used to, but did go fine, everything was very comfortable, clean, and it was in a beautiful location. I would love to return during the summer months when we could see the surroundings a little better, but the winter month was still absolutely incredible. I will always wonder, however, why Norwegian moose cannot seem to read road signs properly, and always cross at the Caribou signs. ;)

Everything is so clean. Great location, less than 10 minute walk from train station, 15 minute walk to city center, 5 minutes to a grocery. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and give you tips for your trip. Clean, spacious, well equipped kitchen. Hot showers. Cute decor. Nice lounge area with board games. Coffee and tea are included.

Everything was great.

Hostel Café Koti is located in central Rovaniemi and offers bright and Scandinavian-style rooms and dormitories. Sampokeskus Shopping Center is 500 metres away. Free WiFi is featured throughout the hostel. Loved that breakfast was included, that was a lovely bonus. The staff were incredible, very responsive and kind. I loved that we had the option to sauna, although unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy it- but it was there nonetheless!

Situated in Ivalo, Grand Hostel Ivalo has a fitness centre, a garden and a shared lounge. The hostel features a sauna and a shared kitchen.

At the hostel, rooms have a desk. Rooms are complete with a shared bathroom fitted with a shower, while some rooms at Grand Hostel Ivalo also boast a seating area. The rooms have a wardrobe. Beautiful middle age style building of an old Finnish school, the owner told me the story. Facilities are good and the shared bathroom is perfectly working and clean. Location is perfect to chill and enjoy nature, still very close to the market and the rest of the town (10/15 minutes walk). The sauna is super convenient and free of charge. Rooms are spacious, with big wardrobes, and beds are comfortable. There's also a common room with various sofas and games to share some time with other travellers. The kitchen has everything you may need. The owner was very welcoming and always ready to help and suggest the best activities in the area. Very good price point in the area considering the facilities, everything else is way more expensive, especially for solo travellers that can't afford a 500 euro/night chalet.
