Family trip in early April

We are family of four with two small kids (4and 6) we have stayed in their separate apartment- it has two rooms and great living space. Flat/ apartment was very comfortable and had all we needed , you are in the heart of Rovaniemi and everything is close from the food stores to restaurants and any travel agency for day trips. We have use BeyondArctic (they had a discount if you stay in hostel). Our breakfast was included and it’s plenty of choice (all continental) , but what was the best that we could have a hot buffet lunch after all our morning trips at the hostel (ps is very popular with locals and gets very busy , so sometimes you have to wait for a table , but most people are here on their break and don’t take long). Buffet was different every day and we found things for our kids and us , meaning we could just relax (kids eats free!!!) Overall great place , friendly staff , amazing location and we were often just hanging out on the swings inside the restaurant/reception while kids were playing in a little play area with lots of toys.

I hate to say anything negative about Hostel Cafe Koti because we liked so much about it--the kitchen, the sauna, the location, the staff--but there aren't individual thermostats in the rooms, just central heat. They seem to turn down the heat mid-day when most guests are out. When we came back after morning activities, we had to get in bed to get warm.

The hostel was very clean, the layout was easy, and the beds were comfortable. However I did find it strange that guests with a room key were not able to access the rooftop terrace which was always empty. Seems like a waste not to have this area free to be used by their guests. I believe a special reservation needs to be made. When we asked if we could access with our room key the reception said “No” and did not elaborate further which I found strange. The service of the staff at the cafe wasn’t the warmest either, we were never acknowledged or greeted when we first entered the space and the receptionist, although professional, did not give a very friendly vibe. Overall we enjoyed the spacious rooms and the property was very clean. We had to check out early so unfortunately we could not enjoy the breakfast so we cannot comment on that.

Abends spät angekommen, direkt vom Flughafen. Self-check-in funktioniert super! Zimmer und Ausstattung sind sauber und gut. Leider hat uns niemand auf die Parkplatzsituation vor dem Haus hingewiesen, auch keine Info auf dem Zimmer oder am nächsten Morgen... daher war unsere erste Nacht in Finnland leider eine sehr teure Nacht. Wäre mit entsprechendem Hinweis verhinderbar. Schade!
