    Good experience

    rating07 Mar 2026

    Good location with easy walking to shops and along the river. Nice bar area for coffee and drinks, friendly front desk staff, and we enjoyed the restaurant. They sometimes catered well for dietaries at breakfast and dinner. Bed was comfortable and room a decent size. Hotel seems busy with group travel as foyer was often congested with masses of luggage and people.

    Easy and Comfortable Stay at Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Rovaniemi

    rating14 Feb 2026

    A very straightforward and comfortable stay. The location is excellent — right in the centre, making it easy to explore on foot. Rooms were clean, warm and well kept, ideal after a long day out in the cold. Staff were polite and efficient, and breakfast had a good variety. A dependable choice when visiting Rovaniemi.

    Brief but good stay

    rating14 Jul 2025

    We were only here for less than 12 hours due to train delay, but the hotel was the best we had encountered on our group tour. We arrived well past midnight, but receptionist welcomed us warmly. Rooms were modern and roomy, shower was excellent. Only hotel so far to have chromecast, and the northern lights display on the wall was nice touch. Breakfast - not a great deal on offer but we loved the white chocolate donuts!
