Guest Reviews
- Ana Carolina (10/5): Very good option in Rovaniemi - Attentive staff, good breakfast, comfortable room. Excellent location, just a few steps from the bus stop to and from the airport, also to santas village. You can ask for extra tea, coffee and hot chocolate im the front desk if you opt out of the cleaning service. It's impossible to take a shower without wetting the bathroom floor, so maybe ask for an extra floor towel if you opt out of the room cleaning, but very manageable if you're careful.
- Tuohimaa (10/5): Hyvä yöpymis paikka tyttären luona vierailun ajaksi. - Rauhallinen yö. Kaikin puolin siisti ja viihtyisä hotelli.
- Erkki (7/5): -
- Pulska (10/5): -
- Sirkka-Liisa (8/5): Siisti hotelli keskustassa - Kiva hotelli keskustassa. Siisti kylpyhuone. Valvottu sisäparkkihalli on vain 1,8m korkea! Boxin kanssa matkustavat älkööt vaivautuko auton kanssa, vain 4 paikkaa ulkona, jotka eivät kameavalvonnan piirissä.
Vuodevaatteet puhtaat, mutta pölyiset. Aamulla nenä ihan tukossa. Vinkki! Vuodevaatteiden mankelointi auttaisi!
- Matti (9/5): Työmatka matkailubisneksen parissa - Huone, sauna, aamupala. Kaikki miellytti -
- Michaela (8/5): Bei einem erneuten Aufenthalt in Rovaniemi würden wir wieder das Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Rovsniemi wählen. - Das Personal war sehr freundlich, das Frühstück sehr lecker.
- Panita (8/5): -
- Beatrice (9/5): Perfect Stay in Lapland - Closeness to the city center, easy to walk around. Amazing breakfast with different options between salty and sweet foods. Very friendly staff. Room very clean and comfortable

- Heli (7/5): ihan perushotelli viipymä - Ihan normaali hotelliaamiainen, riittävästi valikoimaa siisteys ei ollut oikein hyvä. huoneessa oli lattiakaivon päällä hiuksia, vedenkeittimessä oli vesi valmiina, huoneen lattialla kiviä. Sängyllä päiväpeiton alla roska, tullut varmaan peiton mukana, koska lakanat olivat muuten puhtaat.
- Caroline (10/5): Location perfect for walking and exploring in and around Rovaniemi. Santa bus to take you to and from airport, train sta - Fabulous location, not least by being right next door to the Santa express bus stop! Very lovely staff on reception, of course they all speak English.. We had a twin room which was neat and tidy and serviced daily as it was still ‘winter’. Breakfast was typical continental style and I enjoyed crispy bacon, porridge and cheese amongst other items. Nothing.

- Tetiana (9/5): -
- Tova (9/5): - Central hotel, close to the two malls, restaurants and the promenade.
- AustraliaChris09 (8/5): Good experience - Good location with easy walking to shops and along the river. Nice bar area for coffee and drinks, friendly front desk staff, and we enjoyed the restaurant. They sometimes catered well for dietaries at breakfast and dinner.
Bed was comfortable and room a decent size.
Hotel seems busy with group travel as foyer was often congested with masses of luggage and people.

- SILVANA (10/5): - Tudo Nenhuma crítica
- Cdougans (10/5): Easy and Comfortable Stay at Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Rovaniemi - A very straightforward and comfortable stay. The location is excellent — right in the centre, making it easy to explore on foot. Rooms were clean, warm and well kept, ideal after a long day out in the cold. Staff were polite and efficient, and breakfast had a good variety. A dependable choice when visiting Rovaniemi.
- Marcin (10/5): Bylo bardzo dobrze , restauracja ok , sniadania ok - Lokalizacja Rezerwacje na kolacje dla gosci hotelowych
- Tatiana (1/5): Surprised. I’ve never seen NY holidays like this before and 5 stars hotel like this - Only one sweet lady in reception It was new year eve with kids . 1650 euro for 2 days . Nothin. No mood no fun no even clean room sr nice breakfast. Like usual day in very cheap hotel . Not 5, even 4 stars . -2 . I still regret about losing money and holiday . We had a very long way to celebrate this party .
- nickyh921 (10/5): Excellent - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we found it convenient location. Just near the river and a few minutes in to town. Lovely friendly ladies on reception. Great food, lovely cosy warm room. All we needed for a comfy few days stay, powerful shower. Very confy. Excellent staff everywhere, decent food and excellent breakfast, loved the whole atmosphere of the place, will be back!!
- Raquel (8/5): Correcta - Comodo y cèntrica Calefaccion centralitzada ni bajar no subir podiamos
- Andres (10/5): 10/10 - Excelente lugar - Todo. Ni una falla. La verdad que es un lugar excelente y vale cada dolar. El desayuno es completisimo, es el unico desayuno que vi que ponen salmón. La ubicación es muy cerca de muchos restaurantes y el centrito. Caminas una cuadra y tenes un paisaje hermoso del rio y el bosque. -
- Linda (10/5): Best all round hotel I’ve stayed in for ages 10/10 - Lovely modern clean rooms, most comfortable beds ever, great breakfast, central location, sauna was a good added extra, friendly & helpful reception staff.

- Benjamin (8/5): Good hotel that is centrally located and close to bus services. Very friendly and helpful staff - Clean and centrally located Being renovated so breakfast was offsite. Hotel also dated.
- Pilar (10/5): Nos gusto en general .Cómodo y centrico - El desayuno y habitaciones . Muy centrico Nos sorprendió que no nos hicieran la habitación🤨
- Usko (9/5): -
- MARIOS (8/5): - I really enjoyed the breakfast, which was of very good quality and well presented. On the downside, I found the price slightly on the high side, and we were also charged for parking. For the price we paid for our stay, I believe complimentary parking should have been included.
- Fabiano (10/5): Maravilhosa! Louco para voltar! - Localização estupenda! Não tem camas de casal
- Raya (10/5): -
- Martina (9/5): - Das Frühstück war sehr gut, die Betten waren sehr gemütlich und auch die Lage war sehr zentral wir verreisten Ende Dezember und da waren die Zimmerpreise leider viel höher als sonst

- Roslyn (9/5): Central location in Rovaniemi. Rooms comfortable and clean. - Reception open always.
Our flight was late and we were pleased to be welcomed by the lovely ladies at reception. Comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast although it gets busy w lots of guests. -
- Tracy (8/5): Central location, helpful staff - Central location, Very friendly and helpful staff who allowed me to shower in the sauna room after skiing when room for late check-out was unavailable due to peak holiday season. Room was rather small. Would also appreciate wider selection of breakfast item (compared to other Sokos property I have stayed in other cities).
- Vadym (10/5): - Гарний сніданок. Тепла парковка. В самому центрі, місце гарне. Дуже гарний персонал.
- Gábor (9/5): -
- Gary (10/5): - Lovely hotel, super helpful staff. We had a suite and it was very spacious, clean and modern. Restaurant was also fabulous. Nothing
- Jani (8/5): -
- Zofia (5/5): - śniadanie ok, pyszny łosoś i lokalny chleb Cena za nocleg i tragicznie niewygodne łóżka a dopłata 10 EUR za każde przedłużenie 10 minut po 12 godzinie to już trochę przesada.

- Sanchio (9/5): - Struttura pulita e di un buon livello, nel centro di Rovaniemi. Colazione ottima, personale cortese. Per il prezzo che si paga va bene, di meno si trova poco nella zona.
- Javier (8/5): -
- malinen (5/5): - Ravintola hyvä Seinissä ei eristeitä. Viereisen huoneen elokuvanteko kuului koko yön.
- Cinzia (10/5): -

- Evangelia (10/5): What a beautiful stay! - We had a wonderful stay at Original Sokos Vaakuna Rovaniemi. Everything was perfect — the breakfast, the room, and the location. The hotel was warm, comfortable, and spotless. They also paid special attention to our 5-year-old daughter and even left children’s juices for her, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommended! Everything was perfect!
- Johanna (9/5): -
- Elena (10/5): -
- julie (10/5): - Fabulous breakfast. Comfy beds. Extremely friendly and helpful receptionist and breakfast staff. Powerful and hot shower. Spotlessly clean hotel. Great area for restaurants shops etc. Nothing.
- Cengizhan (9/5): -
- Francesco (9/5): - colazione ottima ma causa lavori in un locale adiacente all'hotel
- Sisko (9/5): Ylipäätään hyvä. - Henkilökunta ystävällistä Huoneet liian riisuttuja - ei ollut tasoa laskea tavaroita, ei viihtyisyyttä liiallisen karsimisen takia.
- Marica (6/5): Kiva matka, vähän epäonnea remonttien suhteen. - Aamiainen oli suppea mutta hyvä. Missään ei mainittu varauksen yhteydessä että samassa rakennuksessa ei ole aamupalaa vaan sinne kuljetaan ulkokautta. Toinen majoittuja olisi tarvinnut esteettömän hotellin ja palvelut lähelle. Huono informaatio remontista ja olisi tarvinnut esteettömät kulkumahdollisuudet syömään yms. Sijainnista ei huomattu että on mäen alla,joten kulkeminen ulkona oli hankalaa.
- Pierre (1/5): - Nothing WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
We stayed 4 nights as the sokos hotel , and room number 319 wasn't cleaned even once despite our complaint.
The beds weren't made , and neither the bathroom nor the room was cleaned.
We paid for a 4 stars hotel and didn't even receive the service of a 1 star
Breakfast was served outside the hotel ,which is very inconvenient when traveling with two children aged 3 and 6.
Financial compensation would be greatly appreciared after paying 1512 euros for a mediocre service
Sincerely, PierreMALINE

- Mira (10/5): Siisti hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla ja hyvällä palvelulla! - Saapuessamme paikalle henkilökunta otti avosylin vastaan ja tuli tervetullut olo, koirakin otettiin erinomaisesti huomioon. Hyvä aamupala ja yleinen saunakin oli rentouttava pitkän päivän jälkeen. Koira sai herkkuja ja lemmikeille oli vastaanotossa oma vieraskirja. Ei mitään moitteita.
