This hotel completely exceeded our expectations- on checking in, walking past the resident reindeers we found our room to be split on 2 levels with 2 bathrooms. Plenty of storage space. The views were amazing from the large windows. The room was warm and clean with tea & coffee making facilities. Hotel wifi was available in the room and the sauna was an added bonus.
The hotel is in a perfect location less than a 5 min walk from the Santa village and about a 5min drive from the airport our taxi was €25. We borrowed sledges from reception which was a hit with the kids.
Breakfast had enough options to cover all tastes. We ate at the hotel for our evening meal which was very nice and they had a childrens menu - my only gripe was the brownie which worked out at €4 per spoonful it was that small! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay at the Santa village.

Very cozy hotel, next to Santa Claus Village, convenient location, cozy rooms, you can always warm up in the sauna after returning from outdoor activities. And every morning when you look out the window, a deer greets you. Thank you for the good emotions.

After much debate as to where we would stay in Rovaniemi (without children), we decided on Nova Skyland due to its convenient location within Santa Claus Village, but a little away from it all as well (within the village). Our room was situated over two floors with a bathroom up and down and the bedroom up. The living room has a couch/bed/platform which my husband slept on one night due to a bad back. There is a kettle with tea/coffee in the room as well as a sauna in the upstairs bathroom. Breakfast was from 8-10 daily (weekday) and the buffet had a good selection. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful but most especially Yasmina who went above and beyond. She even called the bus company for us due to us booking a long distance trip and choosing the wrong pick up location. She gave us recommendations and tips and we also chatted about her time living in America. I wish I knew all the employee names who helped us but there was a very friendly gentleman waiter in the restaurant when we went down for drinks in the evening (can sit by the fire and it’s lovely) I’d highly recommend this hotel!

Best experience ever!
I don’t like cold weather but immediately when I stepped in this hotel I felt the warm atmosphere, the love and the beauty that there are inside!
I really loved everything.
The staff is polite, always ready to help you and not less important: they love what they do and it’s seen!
We had just breakfast, complete and for every taste.
The bedroom, or better, the flat is splitted up into 2 floors: the living room and the bedroom. We had sauna and 2 bathrooms too.
I really reccomend this structure and I want to thank especially the receptionists (they know many languages and always make everything to make you feeling home).
The only doubt is about the daily bedrooms cleaning: we stayed there for 2 nights but they didn’t cleaned it (don’t know why).
I really would like to come back, but the world is so big and deserves to be visited in all its beauty, so the only thing I can do is to recommend it :)

There are many reasons to choose this structure, starting from the glass igloos from where we admired the aurora, to the location. In fact, snowmobile and husky excursions depart directly from the hotel, which is particularly convenient. Among other things, the guides are very nice and professional.
The traditional style restaurant and the young and very kind staff.
Finally, the location in the middle of the forest on the banks of a river makes everything even more perfect!

The room is comfortable but note there is no house keeping services. If you require house keeping during your stay it costs 50 euros.

There is a window from the room that can see the woods. And if you are lucky you could even see aurora from the room. I only managed to see a weak aurora.

First, the good things: This property is situated right in Santa Claus village and the room interiors are done well. But, unfortunately it ends here. There's nothing more that you can write good about this property.
I stayed at one of their higher category rooms (Nordic cottage) for 5 nights and had some of my worst holiday experiences ever. To name a few:
1. My room had absolutely no view. All I had was to stare at was rest of the hotel building. That's seemingly the case with most rooms.
2. The sales/ marketing does a wonderful job of convincing you that this the best place but the ground staff at hotel is absolutely careless of the guests. I was assured (multiple times) that their restaurant serves a 'variety' of options in chicken because me/ my family eat no other meat except chicken. We landed at the hotel on 24th Dec evening and having booked for the special Christmas dinner we were terribly disappointed when we saw no option for us to eat. No chicken and very little / nothing in veg. I understand the menu was set up per the liking of the majority of their Guests and I was ok with that but the worst part was how the staff reacted when I spoke to them about our concern. It was just "this is all we got and the kitchen is busy so we can not accommodate any request even if you are willing to pay for your special request ". Further, I accepted this as well and requested the reception to at least guide me about which restaurants existed near the property etc. But again, the staff was 'busy' so could only help me with a map of that place encouraging me to explore on my own at -16°C. We were coming from a long flight and albeit tired we decided to find out places on our own. Next, we realised all places in thr vicinity close at 6.00pm (seemingly that's common in Santa Claus village) and after a lot of search in the cold weather we finally landed at a gas station serving 24hr meal for our Christmas grand dinner!! Heck if the staff could have at least made me aware of the fact that restaurants close by this time and guided me directly to the right place I could have forgived them for everything else.
3. More nagging issues like my room door was not getting locked easily and took some real skills in cold weather to lock it. Next the chromecast for my TV never worked and could not be fixed for 5 days seemingly even though the hotel staff tried 'multiple times' and they did not have any extras too .. small issues, but the way the staff was reacting to them was a surprise.. they were absolutely cool that stuff didn't work - as if that's a norm. No Apologies and no concerns..

I could go on but in short these guys don't get 'H' of hospitality. There are a tons of better options in vicinity so avoid this place if you do not want to ruin your vacation

Beautiful hotel, loved the fireplace and sauna, just a few suggestions for guests. Rent a car because rovaniemi is quite far (santas village is like good for a few hours), still join aurora hunting groups for a better chance to see the northern lights and this place is too close to the airport so you cant fly drones here. Theres no lake in the area, no reindeer as well.

We went as a family with one couple staying in an aurora panoramic suite and the family in a lodge. All of us can say that this is an amazing place to stay. The accommodation is clean and very well looked after with a modern but authentic feel. Everything you need for a great stay is there. Fluffy towels, robes, slippers. Really comfy bed with snuggly quilts and fabulous pillows for a lovely nights sleep especially for those with the panoramic bedroom view where your able to lay in bed and see the snowy trees and the sky hoping that the northern lights might show. Both areas of accommodation had their personal saunas which was welcomed after a day of activity out in the cold. The breakfast every morning is amazing and has such fabulous choices, so much to choose from. We ate in the hotel restaurant twice for an evening meal and again the food was extremely tasty and cooked perfectly. All the staff we met were nice, friendly, kind, helpful people. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them, they just want you to enjoy your stay and they want to look after you. We would certainly stay here again, so much so we have already decide we will go back again.

Amazing hotel with all you could possibly want. Close to everything going on. Lovely and clean and the staff and super friendly and helpful.

I can’t praise this hotel enough we had everything we could have wanted and location was perfect with 5 mins drive from airport and 5 min walk to Santa Claus village.

Only couple of slight negatives:

1. We couldn’t adjust the temperature in our room and had to keep calling reception to do. Which they did very kindly sort out but the first couple of nights it was hot but then we sorted it.

2. Pillows and duvets are very soft and flat so we struggled with these but this is personal preference.

3. Not much food selection in general but this was due to it being a quiet week and covid.

If your are looking for food the Shell garage opposite the hotel was a great place for home cooked food.

The above negatives are only personal preference and I can’t fault the hotel at all.

Def recommend to others.
