GuestHouse Arctic Heart — Hotel in Rovaniemi sub-region

We stayed 2 nights in this hostel that has separate rooms and dormitory rooms for men and women. The price was very reasonable and I suppose you get what you pay for. Also it is in a very good location in the center of the town. We found our twin room (Room 4) comfortable and spacious. There is an external door to the overgrown garden but there is covered seating just outside, which we made use of. The room was clean enough and the beds reasonably comfortable. There are some annoying things though. Firstly the door locks are tricky to use and you need to slam to close them, which annoys others. The light switch sometimes doesn’t work and the window was difficult to close. There are shared bathrooms and toilets through out. The upstairs shower doesn’t work so well so the guests up there come downstairs. Never saw the owners and the others guests didn’t abide by the rules with the kitchen use and noise after 10pm. Nothing in the kitchen was in its right place and the cooking tray was very greasy and never cleaned. It would be an even better place if there was more...

First of all I'm wondering why it is listed as hotel on some booking sites as it clearly more like a youth hostel. Our room in general was ok and clean but there was a lot of dust on the wall next to the ventilation system. The shared bathrooms were kind of ok. Problem was that the whole room was completly wet when some people showered as they didn't care about the others and you just had small towles. It was also really strange that a guy slept on the couch in the shared living room. As he was basically there the whole day it made you feel uncomfortable to use the living room. This happened as he booked a room in the women dormitory by mistake. The owners should check that something like this doesn't happen. The host was very friendly and helpful. The only real positive thing was the location. It took you about 5-10 minutes to the city center. For the price we paid we...

|I love my stay in this property ,feel like home ! The location is good and peaceful , just 5 mins walk to the city centre. It was easy to check in and out. All rooms look nice, clean and cosy , I feel comfortable here. I like the balcony in front of the rooms as I could sit and seeing the view outside. The kitchen is tidy , clean and well equipped. There is a big fridge to keep our food. There are free tea & coffee. I enjoyed meeting other guests too. The staff is friendly and helpful . Thanks Miyo who helped me plan some of my trip. ;) And the most impressive one for me is the owner ( Heini ) she was so kind , nice and sweet . She gave me a birthday present :) She took us to the church and dropping me at bus stop. I really appreciated that. :)) Aku helped me about my booking problem too. Thanks again ! I do recommend The Guesthouse Arctic Heart to...
