Hotel is perfect. I wasn’t sure what to expect as reviews are mixed so I was a bit nervous. Hotel looks dated but it is spotless. We had children with us and the hotel let us put in an extra bed and a cot in the room for no extra cost. The hotel is central in the city and there are buses to Santa village and Santa World. Bus brings you from outside the airport to a stop that’s a two minute walk to the hotel so no hassle getting there. Breakfast is included that has a great range. The staff are lovely , very helpful with everything.

The location is perfect - even if you decide for a different accommodation, look in the vicinity of this one as that is the center of Rovaniemi where all the travel agencies are located and the Santa express bus passes through. The breakfast was better than I expected. If you come with a kid, the hotel offers plastic sleds which you can take to drag your kid around town. The staff is friendly.

Comfortable Stay with Great Location.. I recently stayed at Scandic Polar during my visit to Rovaniemi, and it was a pleasant experience. The hotel’s central location made it easy to explore the city and access nearby attractions, including Santa Claus Village and the beautiful Arctic Circle. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with any queries. The breakfast spread was delightful, with a variety of options to start the day on a good note. My room was clean and cozy, though a bit dated in design. However, it had all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a convenient and reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Rovaniemi, Scandic Polar is a good choice. I would happily stay here again on my next visit!

The breakfast buffet, with a wide variety of foods. My friend is vegetarian and there were options too. The room was quiet and had a view of the city, the heating cannot be changed but it is understandable. Likewise, we weren't cold, it was quite warm even though it was -25°C outside. It was very central the hotel.

The hotel gives me a free room upgrade that exceeded my expectations. The room was super clean and equipped with kettle, ironing board, coffee and tea bags. Location of the hotel is at center of the Rovaniemi downtown and within 3 min walking to nearest bus station to Santa Clause village. Breakfast was delicious and have many options for vegetarian.

Lovely hotel, with nice rooms and a delicious buffet breakfast included. Staff were extremely helpful and even packed us a breakfast bag for our final morning as we were leaving before breakfast was served. Amenities in the hotel were great and the hotel is really central, a few minutes walk from the supermarket, mall and lots of restaurants. Only a 15 minute drive from the airport and Santas village

The room was huge, well laid out and warm. The shower was also very warm, but we didn't get to try the sauna as we were only there for one night. There was good storage for coats and boots.

The location was great. Everything was in walkable distance. The room itself was in decent size with comfortable beds. The room was clean, still maintaining the old style. Modernization of the rooms are recommended.
