I stayed in Hotel Merihovi for 3 nights. They seem to know what I want, quick dinner as I was about to join the next tour, a nice area to put on your boots and overalls for the lapland safari, they could answer all the enquiries about train and bus times. The receptionist on duty was simply great. The room... More

It is really nice that hotel old architect has been kept in originall style. Hotel is located in very good location if you are example travelling to Lapland. Hotel breakfast is excellent and hotel staff is extreme friendly. Negatives things are missing temperature control in the rooms and too less child seats in the restaurant.

We stayed three nights during our Artice adventure, and Hotel Merihovi was perfectly located and adequate for our needs. There is wi-fi, breakfast, and a sauna. The food, howeve,r was spectacular. The dinner we had at the restaurant was one of the best we had in Finland!

There was one night to stay in northern Finland during early August. Not that much offers around this time of the year. Hotel Merihovi catched my business. Arrived by plane from Helsinki in the afternoon. Strange to see that there is simply no public transport option for Kemi. Sure the thing to do now to go in contact with the... More

A little old but one of those places that makes up for it with a cheerful attitude. Although the furniture and decoration had a slightly "not quite antique, but....." feel to it, everything was just fine. The building and facilities retain their charm etc etc. A pleasant place to stay.

I booked the Hotel Merihovi as a base for our wedding party - 11 people in total, 3 singles and 4 suites (we had requested doubles, but these were full, and the hotel offered us suites at the same price quoted for the double rooms). From 1st contact the staff were excellent and discounted the room price based on the... More

Finnish president has stayed here, says hotel brochure. Well, it might be so, but now the hotel is certainly showing its age. Or maybe that's the idea, as the hotel theme is nostalgic from the restaurant decor to the ancient elevator. The superior room we stayed was large, with a dining table and a sofa, and small bathroom. Fully stocked... More

We stayed at the Merihovi for a week around our wedding at the Snowcastle in Feb 2006. We chose the Merihovi after reading other reviews on TripAdvisor, but we still weren't really prepared for what we found! First impressions were not great. The decor gave the impression it hadn't been updated since the 1950s. Our room was down a very... More

Full recommendation to this hotel! I only stayed for one night but two full days (Overnight trains to and from Helsinki!) This really was a lovely hotel, homely room, warm water, amazing views cosy bar, but best of all the staff were very very helpful. They went out of thier way to make my experience the best it could be.... More
