We stayed three nights in a lovely family room on the fouth floor of the Arctic Light Hotel right in the center of the city. The service was really friendly both at the reception and in the restaurant where we had an excellent Rasberry Menu. The breakfast is excellent, too. Warm recommendation❤️

My husband spending his 26th night in hospital tonight. 12 days ago when my family left I thought I would stay at a boutique hotel like Arctic light hotel rather than an Airbnb, because I said to Michael at least I will have people to talk to and I won’t get lonely, Well that didn’t happen. When I booked the Arctic light hotel I explained my situation and told them the story. I was crying. We have stayed at many beautiful hotels and I have never experienced such a cold and lonely one. They see me getting cabs left, right and centre and I even went in crying again when I lost my wallet and asked them to call the cab company. It’s a tiny hotel and I walk past reception 5 times per day I am on my 12th night here alone and not once have they called me by my name, asked me how I am doing, asked how Michael is, asked if I found my wallet or barely even acknowledged me. They all speak English. They all know I am here by myself, knowing no one. A week ago I started taking breakfast in for him as he got his appetite back. I am in a suite paying for 2 people to have Brekky. I asked them for 2 x little takeaway containers to take some food and after asking me what I wanted them for, I burst out crying explaining blah blah they told me they were running out of containers and that they could only spare one I lost it. Then at night I asked if I could order 2 x burgers off the room service menu to save me traipsing around in the snow again, to take to the hospital as takeaway, and they told me they couldn’t do that. I emailed them days ago and No response. Made my time here extra miserable…

Dear Dayna, I am truly sorry about your husband’s situation and I am sorry that your family must deal with this kind scenario that you are stuck in foreign country with medical emergency. I can understand and sympathize that this situation must be extremely stressful to you, but I think it is unfair to direct your stress towards our staff even when they have been nothing but polite, professional, and helpful to you. For example, our staff have greeted you every time they see you however, we do not use first names unless you as a guest request us to address with first name. We are also discreet about our guests, and we do not spread around personal information around the staff especially about health. Front desk has indeed known the purpose of your stay, but they have not wanted to intrude about your husband’s medical condition. I cannot blame them for this. Our role is to provide customer service not to intrude about personal or health questions unless initiated by guest. Also, if you would have cried or stopped to talk about your husband or cried, I am 100% sure my staff would have helped and talked with you as they are human beings too. Our staff have also helped you whenever you requested. For example, regarding your wallet they used hours to call around Rovaniemi to find your wallet, so you were not ignored or left without any answer. You also did receive all the takeaway boxes you requested. Breakfast staff almost run out of them on one morning which is why they said these are the only ones left. This shouldn’t have happened of course but they did send maintenance team to purchase more boxes from supermarket so they would have them for you on next day as well. I also do not understand why you felt the need to be dishonest about the response or your interactions with us. I did receive your email and social media team did receive as well as immediately answered your Instagram message, but you very clearly stated in your message that you do not want to be responded to which I respected. I do not understand why you specifically requested us to not respond while expecting to be responded. Despite this after your email I did personally come and try to talk with you, but you rudely refused to discuss with me or other staff members. Nevertheless, I wish all the well for your husband as well as your family and I hope all your lives get back to normal as soon as possible and your husband will have speedy and full recovery. With kind regards, Miko Gröhn General Manager

Good location in Rovaniemi BUT book the larger rooms for a bit higher prices, avoid hotel’s basic tiny accommodations at any cost. Great restaurant for dinner and for an excellent breakfast. Ignore the front desk attitude and enjoy staying at such an unusual topography where 30 degrees below zero sounds okay! You can reserve the hotel’s sauna for 30-minutes privately and there are so many chairs, benches and couches everywhere in the property that you will never get tired. Hotel is definitely not 5-star nor inexpensive but is a good family-oriented place to stay hoping for the Northern Lights to shine.

We stayed in the Arctic Light Hotel for a couple of nights during a quick trip to Rovaniemi, and were very impressed. Our room was beautiful, and spotlessly clean, with the sauna in the bathroom being a nice bonus. And breakfast was excellent. All the staff were excellent, particularly those on Reception, who were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. Anything we asked for got answered or done very quickly. The hotel is extremely well-located for anything you'd need to see in the centre of Rovaniemi. The only *slight* issue I had is that I asked at the bar for a glass of milk for my son before his bedtime and was charged 2 Euros 50 cents for it. For a glass of milk????????

Fantastic hotel in the centre of Rovaniemi. The stand out for us was the friendly and attentive staff - each and every one of them. This is really unusual these days and it certainly made our stay extra special. A stand out was Max on reception - he was fantastic, great customer service skills, knowledgable and nothing was a problem - he is an absolute star and credit to the hotel. Food was lovely both the breakfast and dinner in the restaurant as was the cocktails at the bar. Highly recommended - you will not be disappointed.
