Hotel Metsähirvas

Amazing breakfast buffet and the food were better than other hotels. Location was very far from city Center but a good spot to see aurora as there’s minimal light pollution. We’ve even got a free upgrade to suite rooms as well. Thanks to the staff for your great hospitality

** it is 30 min drive from the rovaniemi city center, about 50 euros on uber. however you get to live close to the trees and lake without much light pollution/ crowds, i managed to peek a little bit of aurora during our stay. ** very friendly and helpful staff and hotel owner. he even helped me pick up a failing toy drone in the middle of the frozen lake. ＜3＜3＜3 i do love this place

Kaunis hotelli, ystävällinen henkilökunta, upeasti sisustettu niin yhteiset tilata, käytävät kuin huonekin ja koiravieraat otettiin lämmöllä vastaan herkkupussin kera. Tulemme varmasti uudelleen.

Great hidden gem This place is a bit outside Rovaniemi (18 min by car) along the road towards South. We took it to accomodate us on our way back home from family skiing trip at Levi. The building is an old schooling facility for the forest rangers. You can feel the history of the buildings but inside the rooms you have a modern touch. The rooms are very spaceous and allowed easily our 4 person family to fit in with ease. The breakfast was great and the staff was very helpfull and nice. There was a sauna also downstairs that we didn't get to test this time. Also I suppose the river next to the hotel would be open for swimming during the summer months.

This historic old building away from light pollution not far from Santa’s Village or City Center is one of a kind. A series of unfortunate events resulted in 36 hours of travel from Florida to Amsterdam and lost luggage. Desperately in need of sleep and smooth sailing for the Finland portion of our trip. I have so many wonderful things to say about the whole experience but there was some miscommunication that our already extremely tight budget really put us in a tough spot. First off I don’t want this to come off as we did not enjoy our stay or that it was anyone’s fault really booked for 17.03.2025 -20.03.2025 and another hotel in Levi 20.03.2025-22.03.2025 in June for my boyfriend’s first international trip for his 30th! We checked out Tuesday morning and enjoyed half a day in Rovaniemi then drove 2.5 hours to what we thought was our next hotel in Levi arriving at 1930 thinking we had reservations Wednesday night but I was wrong. I know customer service is different in the EU but wow why the heck wouldn’t you want to inform or inquire why a guest was checking out early. I’m not rich I cannot just pay for 3 nights use two then buy another night elsewhere. I emailed the hotel immediately and I was told people check out early all the time and it is not their business to ask why. This situation resulted in 229£ of a night reserved lost here 180£ for the sauna cold plunge that was an extra fee not disclosed and 166£ for a crappy hotel in Levi for a total of 575£ screw up.
