Arctic Light Hotel

In the heart of Rovaniemi, with a high end decoration including authentic Arctic touches, Arctic Light Hotel provides of a high quality stay and a very accommodating costumer service. This week has been outstanding and mainly thanks to the excellent treat received by Antonios. He made my week delightful, thank you! The food is delicious, definitely my favourite restaurant from Rovaniemi since 4 years now, every dinner manages to delight me. The breakfast is perfect. Excellence. Comfortable and beautiful hotel. Private sauna and massage available under request. Gym available.

As part of my one week journey from Rovaniemi back to Helsinki, I had selected the Arctic light hotel as my first accommodation.||Excellent choice!||I have had a very cosy room with a cute ice bear lying on the blanket (unfortunately not part of the services) and a bright and clean bath room.||The breakfast (as of 8 on a SUN) was outstanding, what a great variety and good quality of products, amazing! The G (Gluteenion = gluten free) declaration was done properly.||Overall very friendly staff to, thanks.||I even made use of both, the sauna (30mins included per room, needs to be reserved in advance) and the small Gym. Both nice amenities.||Overall, great performance, excellent hotel for a short or long stay in Rovaniemi.||Thank you very much indeed!

We had a fabulous stay. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We also had a very tasty dinner.|Its location is perfect and convenient to stores. We enjoyed having the rental clothing and equipment store right across the street.|My room was 222. Very comfortable and enjoyed the heated bathroom floor.|Sauna was wonderful too.

My wife and I came here in summer 2025, which is the quiet season for Rovaniemi. Was told by a local in Helsinki that this is probably the best hotel in Rovaniemi so already had some expectations before arriving at the hotel. Still, we were delightfully amazed when shown our room (111). We were told that each room in the hotel is different. Although we are on the ground floor, we did not hear any traffic or noise from outside at all.||(+) largest room we stayed out of the 3 hotels we stayed in Finland on this trip. Includes a ‘living room’ area with 6-seater sofa set, bench for wearing shoes. 5 stars look and feel. ||(+) spacious bathroom with rain shower and heated floor!||(+) central location In Rovaniemi with several lunch and dinner restaurant options nearby. ||(+) very good complimentary buffet breakfast (Arctic Restaurant in hotel)||(+) room mini bar pricing is very reasonable (first time in more than 10 years we’ve taken something from hotel room mini bars as they’re usually exorbitantly priced).||(+) room lighting can be adjusted centrally from romantic to bright to very bright (great since we don’t open the curtains as its street level outside).||(-) only one staff at reception at some times so might have to wait a while if staff is attending to previous customer with complicated request||(-) air conditioning is slightly weak and takes a while to reach target temperature (room is big, and for context this is summer in a city which is very cold the rest of the year)||I know this is a 4.5 star and not 5 star hotel but if I had to make a suggestion, an option for firmer/foam pillows would be fantastic. (The staff were very helpful to find the firmest available already out of the standard soft pillows in the hotel).||Highly recommending this hotel is an understatement- you simply have to stay here in you are coming to Rovaniemi, to complete your Lapland luxury experience!

Excellent hotel. The ambience is elegant and pleasant. Staff is very professional and friendly. Rooms are wonderful, very stylish and comfortable. The only issue with the room was that the door to the bathroom was "see through", which felt very uncomfortable.|They make the best coctails in the lobby bar, although the list of choices had shortened quite a bit since our last visit, but they also make other coctails on request. Very nice lobby bar. The restaurant is wonderful, everything from first impression (we were welcomed and taken care of in a very wonderful and attentive way), to excellent food and service. No need to go anywhere else :)|The breakfast is probably one of the best in the country. Maybe a little exaggerated to say that, but it is absolutely amazing, really worth trying.|Happy with the stay, well worth it.

Stunning hotel with the best staff! The location is perfect because all of the tours have a pickup point at this hotel plus it’s only a 15 minute drive from the airport. The restaurant is awesome and our room was huge! We took advantage of their sauna and overall, I’d stay here again! Big shoutout to the wonderful staff who work here that made our trip so memorable!

We absolutely loved our stay at Arctic Light Hotel! The hotel has a perfect location, right in the heart of Rovaniemi and just a short walk from all the main tour agencies to explore Lapland. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The staff is incredibly friendly, and our room was spacious, cozy, and very comfortable. We also want to give a special mention to Waldemar, who took great care of us at the hotel’s Arctic Restaurant. Speaking of the restaurant, it’s hands down the best in town! If you’re staying in Rovaniemi, don’t miss the chance to dine here – but make sure to book in advance, as it gets busy.

A hotel with super helpful staff, from front of house through to the people sorting out my numerous changes to our stay (Sarrna) and the cleaning staff.|Friendly and polite staff, nothing was too much trouble. |The rooms are great sizes, clean and well appointed.|In the town centre so everything is within easy reach.|I cannot recommend this hotel enough, absolutely spot on.

Took the train and rented a car to stay here. Within walking distance of several places to eat and the river. Parking was tight and glad I got a space. The hallways are dark until you walk into them. The downstairs had a lot of people hanging out and I heard them through my room and it kept me up. The room was warm. Bathroom was clean. Windows looked to sidewalk and restaurants. Max the check in guy was nice. There is a bar and lots of booze in the room. Sauna.

Beautiful, chic, comfortable hotel for our 2 night stay in Rovaniemi! The staff are friendly and helpful. Upon checkin we somehow got an upgraded room for free. The room we ended up with had a studio layout with beautiful views, lots of indoor and natural lighting. We had plenty of space. The whole room including the bathroom was modern and cozy. The bathroom even has heated tile floors (??)! I've never heard of that before, but the tile never got cold and I could feel some warmth on my bare feet when standing on it. The complimentary breakfast is amazing -- plenty of choices and vegetarian / vegan options too, with a beautiful spread. There is plenty of seating area in the lobby, and a gorgeous covered (in glass) patio area with tons of natural light. I highly recommend the Arctic Light Hotel -- you will not be disappointed ! (Note: they also have a restaurant inside which looks beautiful and classy! We would have eaten here at least once if our stay was longer)

I can't not begin to say enough great things about this wonderful hotel! The location is wonderful, close to restaurants and bus stops. We were able to take the bus to Santa Claus Village for a minimal fee as the taxis were rather expensive to travel such a short distance. The airport shuttle stop was just across the street so it made transporting our luggage to and from RVN a breeze. The shuttle arrived an hour and a half before the next departing flight, they shuttle is supposedly in contact with the airport so it if is running late, it's good to know that youre flight will not leave without you on it! There were several different tour companies within a one block vicinity of the hotel, so it was very easy to book same day excursions. The staff was wonderful, from the bartender to the front desk. They made great recommendations for attractions as well as making last minute dinner reservations for my family! The hotel is beautifully appointment, modern, yet cozy! The lobby area is inviting and made us feel welcome to sit by the fire and have a cocktail. Our room was comfortable enough for two adults and one child and the view overlooked the street- I didn't not like the constant illumination of the street lights as the curtains did not reach to the very end of the window, so light was always seeming in through the sides, but that is a minor complaint. The bathrooms had heated floors which was nice since it's cold during the wintertime. The waterfall shower head was by far provided the best shower I've never taken away from home, and quite frankly probably one of the best we've had. Our son loved that there was a cute polar bear stuffed animal (€19) to greet us upon our entry, he names her 'Cutie' and ultimately came home with us. The private sauna is a nice way to unwind from the brisk temperatures outside, but be sure to make your reservation as the times seem to book up fast, well they did when we were there. The breakfast in the morning was divine, I loved the fresh and locally sources smoked salmon and cured meats and accompaniments. Also, omelet and boiled eggs, sausage, bacon, steamed broccoli and stewed mushrooms. There were also freshly squeezed juices and smoothies as well as baked desserts. You could dine in the hotel or pass through to the adjoining restaurant for a different atmosphere- Arctic Boulevard- which housed the same chic décor. It was certainly the highlight of our mornings. If you are ever in the Lapland and need a hotel recommendation, I cannot endorse this hotel enough! It made a great home away from home!

One of the best hotels I have visited in Finland, if not the best. And believe me, I have stayed in many hotels. The service was outstanding from the first second to the last, the rooms were really nice and cosy with a lot of funny animal gadgets, the beds very comfortable. The restaurant was probably the best in town. The breakfast was different, very healthy and colorful. And the price was absolutely not so "over the top" compared to other design hotels. All in all, a superb experience. If I go to Rovaniemi again, I will for sure stay in Arctic Light!

It's the best hotel in Kaplan for sure and maybe it's also the best hotel in Finland. It's new and very cosy.
