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.

This is a huge resort property that offers a lot of activities on site. I wish we had another day to do their activities. This would be my choice if I had an active family with kids to go and experience fatbike, cross country skiing and snow shoeing.

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!

Good hotel, bad service at the restaurant

Service at the reception was very friendly and nice. Bed was very good. Room was clean and all basic things were available. A little noisy on the aisles, because it's a family destination. Service at the restaurant was on two totally different levels. The Finnish guy at the counter was arrogant and rude, but a foreign man who brought us our food, was very friendly and customer service oriented. The food was totally delicious!

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!

Rent og rimelig med gode fasiliteter

Rent og rimelig hotel. Rom med kjøkkenfasiliteter. Veldig bra svømmebasseng og jacuzzier. Stort trimrom og lekeland for barn. Minigolf og hinderløype i skogen ved siden av. Drt var veldig varmt når vi bodde der og bare ett lite vindu kunne åpnes for lufting. Grei buffet frokost.

Varasimme hotellin pikaisesti, kun toinen etukäteen varattu paikka paljastui hirveäksi. Otimme 5-hengelle saunallisen huoneiston. Huone oli siisti ja toimiva, aamupala hyvää perussettiä. Rakennus vanhahtava, mutta toimiva. Parasta oli viereiset ulkoilumaastot. Hotellin uimahallia mainostetaan kylpyläksi, mutta se on liitoittelua.

This is a former Olympic training center now used by local youth as a full time training facility so there's a LOT of kids and families staying here but everyone was polite and well behaved. There was no nonsense. There are two food facilities on site - a snack bar that has sandwiches, burgers and snacks and the cafeteria used to feed the athletes and provide the free breakfast. Both were very good. I highly recommend the in-room sauna rooms if you can get them. Note this is an easy to get to place from the airport but there is nothing within walking distance. Beds are very comfortable but there's no way to turn up the heat in the rooms. TV is very limited. You'll be Uber'ing to town and every where else from here. But thats not a deal braker. it was a good place to stay.
