This hotel was one of two we could have selected as part of our Christmas in Lapland tour from Bentours out of Australia. It is a hotel that was built in the 1930's and nothing much has changed since it was built! We arrived from the airport at 3pm and with all of the other people on the tour tried... more

Good location, clean basic rooms, good breakfast offering a wide variety of food and great position to view the river. Hotel offers a sauna and pool however it opens from 5 - 9 every evening. Try to ask for a room facing the river for the best views Hotel doesnt offer interconnecting rooms so a pain if you take small... more

Just returned from a fantastic trip to Lapland, I was a bit dubious about the hotel having read some reviews and felt that I had to share my personal experience. A lovely spacious room, with adequate facilities for my two young children and very clean. A well kept secret is the fabulous kids playroom on the second floor. The half... more

We stayed at this hotel with two kids and overall were very pleased with everything. This hotel is located downtown Rovaniemi by the river. We booked a junior suite with a river view. The junior suite was great for our needs. It had a bedroom area for the parents and a sitting room area with a sofa which was made... more

We were in Rovaniemi for a few days to celebrate New Year 2008. Stayed at Rantasipi, so a few words on the hotel: + nice views (if you ask for the river view) + rooms are quite big (at least by European standards) - we were OK with my wife and daughter + rooms are cleaned and maintained quite well... more

The bathroom had a very deep narrow bath with a shower overhead not suitable unless you... more

Well stayed at the Rantasippi which was obviously the place to stay 20 years ago but is now showing its age. That said was more than adequate for our four night stay. Agree with the comments about the rear view stunning at night looking over the frozen river. We were obviously fortunate that we had a bath with a shower... more

First of all, we were given a room for handicapped people which we didn't like at all, it looked like a hospital room; the beds were very much like camp beds; the toilets were almost dirty; I think the floors hadn't been well cleaned for a long time; the staff were not at all friendly. The stay at that hotel... more
