Top Rovaniemi Hotel Reviews

Lapland Hotels Sky Ounasvaara

Lapland Hotels Sky Ounasvaara

8/10 Good
"This is a beautiful, clean facility. However, the design of rooms and spaces isn't really convenient for travelers. The narrow stairs to the main sleeping area make hauling a large suitcase up there challenging. Everything in all the rooms is electronic, including the toilet. Lights come on at night when there is any motion detected so that everyone wakes up. And then the toilet makes lots of noise going through its flush cycle. Not restful. However, we enjoyed all the glass windows and ability to enjoy the view outside day and night. It's a beautiful setting."
