Itâs a hotel right at the city centre with easy access to shops and restaurants. Also, one of the main locations to get picked up for different activities and very friendly and helpful staff.
Wir waren 1Woche im Sokos Hotel Vaakuna. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und wir fĂŒhlten uns sofort wohl. Auch das Doppelzimmer war top. Sehr sauber, Wasserkocher mit Tee, Kaffee, Kakao standen jeden Tag bereit. Zimmerservice tĂ€glich top. Als Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AusflĂŒge auch hervorragend, da die Bushaltestelle gleich gegenĂŒber war. FrĂŒhstĂŒck war alles da, was man benötigte und auch genĂŒgend SitzplĂ€tze waren vorhanden. Wir haben die ganze Woche nicht auszusetzen gehabt. Wir wĂŒrden dieses Hotel jedem empfehlen!!!!
Excellent location in the city center of Rovaniemi. The hotel itself is rather functionally furnished, but offers all the amenities which a traveller might need. The breakfast is excellent and prepares you well for a day of exploration in Lapland. The friendly staff is an enormous asset - they helped us a few times with taxi bookings and even helped us to find an intercity bus schedule.
The only downside is a somewhat neglected maintenance - thereâs quite a bit of wall chipping which is probably a result of customers hitting them with big bags. However, those do not diminish the experience. Would not hesitate to stay here again!
Rovaniemi is a small city so Iâm not sure what the other hotels are like. While the service and location of this hotel was excellent, I didnât understand the 4star hotel rating. There were holes in the curtains, the conditioner was almost empty when we arrived, there was no hand lotions, the shower rack was falling off the wall. Thereâs no safe in the room so we had to travel everywhere with our passports and valuables. I just expected a bit nicer accommodation for a 4star hotel. Again, the staff were friendly and the room was clean so I donât want to seem ungrateful.
