Excellent, cost effective place to stay in Rovaniemi. This was a fraction of the cost of staying near Santa Claus Village, and only a 10-15 minute drive away. We have a 6 year old and this place was just perfect for us. It was great having a water park, bowling alley, and kids play area all in the same building, and we loved being able to head right outside for cross country skiing. Plus we really liked the grill restaurant for a cheap but crowd pleasing dinner. Couldn’t recommend this enough for families!

We stayed at two different hotels; Santasport was the better hotel. Rooms are clean. There is a mini fridge and microwave with plates and utensils. We would stay here again. The other hotel we stayed at was Hotel Aakenus. I would stay away from that hotel. Old and was more expensive.

This hotel greatly exceeded our expectations! We had a wonderful time. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We had an amazing time in the pool with all of the additional features - mini pools with water features, hot tub, cold tub, kids pool with a great slide. We rented skis and had a go at cross country skiing on the first snow track - great advice for beginners from a chap at the hotel reception and further advice from the lady in the hire shop. We hired the kit for the shortest period of 3 hrs which was the perfect amount of time for us. The on-site bowling was great and great value for money. Our kids were excited by the large kids fun park (5 Euro/child). The included breakfast filled us up for the day and there was ample to choose from. There was a supermarket a short drive around the corner with a neighbouring pizza restaurant/take away which was reasonably priced and there was also a couple of on-site dining options. We also made tea in the microwave in the room. Santa's village and Santa Park were a short drive away. Santasport is the location of an Olympic training centre and had many more sporting facilities. We wish we could have stayed longer to explore more and will likely go back again.

The shower was dreadful - water goes everywhere. coming from a culture with continuous water restrictions, I was looking forward to a good shower - no closed cubicle. Also the hotel was very noisy and the young guests extremely rude - is that Finnish? Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were good and the swimming too!

Great stay at Santasport Spa.
Delighful 3 day stay with our daughter & 2 grand children aged 2 & 13. There were fun activities for both. The pool and its various spa pools for both and the kids fun activity room for the youngest. We all enjoyed great breakfadts each morning. Santasport was a short drive from the places we wanted to visit.

When we booked this hotel, we thought it was only a hotel. But, it is actually so much more! It is an Olympic training center, so they have many activities from which to choose. Since this was a quick stay for just one night to catch a plane the next morning, we only had the afternoon to take advantage of the facilities. And that we did! We utilized the snack bar several times, used the lifting gym, and went bowling. There is something there for everyone: multiple swimming pools, a huge kids area, and more!l. If we ever have a reason to stop through Rovaniemi again, we will definitely stay there again!

Had a brilliant stay. The location is amazing with a nature trail across the road for sledging/walking. The hotel had lots going on for the children. Breakfast was good. Beds could have been more comfortable, and a bit more choice of food in the restaurant in the evening. Would go back :)
