Oldish but still good
The hotel is pretty oldish, but still functional and few hundreds meters away from the center. Good deal including breakfast and dinner.

Janet, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely central hotel to explore Rovanemi
We had a wonderful time staying at the hotel it was in the perfect place very close to town. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty only complaint we had was buffet prices were changed half way through our stay and we weren’t told in advance only when we went to pay. Reception staff were very knowledgeable and went the extra mile finding a sledge for my daughter to enjoy the snow. Sauna was lovely, clean only thing to say is watch your head in the sauna as the ceiling is quite low
Veronica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Old small hotel in Rovaniemi, the location is convenient, staff extremely amicable and friendly. The only inconvenients are the stairs since there are no elevators and the room’s bathroom which is very small. However, if you are staying for just a few nights, I think the hotel is a good option.
Silvana Monserrat, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Breakfast had a wide variety of options. Ample room size.The sauna was a comfortable. However, the all in one bathroom was a bit small and should at least have a shower curtain.
Donna, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unprofessional staff and a dirty hotel. Don’t bother wasting your money
Matt, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you're looking for luxurious accommodations, I'd pass. It's a little rustic. Almost spartan. But it was clean, quiet, comfortable, very friendly staff, and great breakfast buffet! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good deal and a good meal.
Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent, clean affordable accommodation in the centre, friendly staff and decent breakfast
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Like other reviews have said, the rooms are tiny and theres no stairs - but the clerk carried my luggage up and I wasnt spending much time in the room anyway. Within easy walking distance of town, staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to help. The guy who checked me in was incredible, 10/10. I thought it was cozy despite being outdated. Its servicable and warm, but nothing luxurious. Id stay there again in a heartbeat.
Ana, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Its ok
Josephine, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel Aakenus has a good location , friendly and helpful staff . Rooms are basic but clean . Bathroom however is under average and urgently in need of renovation. With only 1,5 sqm including shower , toilet and sink it is impossible to keep the bathroom dry and properly shower. Breakfast is good , some fresh bread , eggs , yoghurt and fruit . For a short layover the hotel is acceptable but definitely overpriced. For these standards a budget of 100-130 euro per night would be fine but no 270-300 euro per night. I would give the hotel a 2,5 - 3 star overall .
Cindy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Don’t expect much in terms of facilities/ decor it is however conveniently located and has a superb breakfast
Manuel Antonio, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is close to the city center and a very convenient mall and restaurants. Great location. Only 9 minutes walking if there is not ice. Lordi Square, Nili restaurant, Pure burger and more all by walking distance even the bus to Santa Calus Village and airport. At the mall there is a Article Park office where you can be able to book the aurora tour and more. Also a supermarket. The breakfast is good many options. Sauna available only two hours based in a schedule. A little expensive but is close to de city. I booked two weeks before and l stayed four nights.

Klaus, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was about a 2 block walk from downtown. Plenty of on site parking. Room was a decent size and clean. Came with bed sheets and towels. There's a mini fridge and small coffee station. The only "issue" I had was that check in was at 3pm. We had arrived at 1pm. They do have a luggage area so you can walk around without your bags until checkin
