My stay at the Scandic Rovaniemi City hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience could be improved, and the limited check-in time was a downside. The central location and available amenities added value to the stay.

I couldn't have asked for a better spot! The hotel is in a prime location, close to everything you need. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, but just a tad too warm. The service was hit-and-miss, with some staff being super helpful and others not so much. The dining options were varied but a bit chaotic at times. The best part was the excellent location, making it easy to explore the city on foot.
