    The room was poorly soundproofed: if I had been proficient in the language, I would have been able to follow the entire late-night conversation of my room neighbour's video call with his family back home.

    Modern, clean and lovingly renovated room in a beautiful historical building. Very friendly staff. Free parking space right next to the hotel.

    Some of the surroundings in the garden and the property such as parts of the facade etc might be slightly better taken care of. That would enhance the overall impression.

    Great service, utterly clean and friendly hotel, nice beach at the river.

    The room was not big, but it had everything we needed and a window to the snowy back yard, frozen lake & forest.

    We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights. The location out of town provided a quiet nature surrounding, but required transportation into town and back. I recommend that you book all activities from the hotel, which will save you lots of travel. The hotel feels very homey and intimate. The staff are very warm and helpful, and feel almost like family. Buffet breakfast was varied, though it was the same every day. I recommend the Metsahirvas especially for couples looking for a quiet homey place

    A great functional hotel - just out of the city so you have some space around you. The rooms were really clean and super comfortable beds. The family rooms are a great size and it’s lovely to have a Kitchenette. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved that it was out of the city and that Pure Lapland run their excursions from there. We also really enjoyed the sauna and ice dip activity. When we had to leave early the next day they prepared an amazing breakfast for us to take away without us even asking! A lovely touch.

    Room is little when you stay a few days, not easy to manage with luggages. Pity the sauna time was at diner time, not easy to use it. Pity they don't use the fire place in the lobby, it would be nice to have a fire when having a drink.

    Lovely hotel with history background and staff. Good situation to have a walk around. Nice breakfast and dinner.

    Very nice location, close to Rovaniemi, outside the city. Ideal to stay with children. Fire in the hall and closeness to the River with views and nature was perfect for our stay. You can make fire at a wooden refuge 100m from the hotel close to the river. Kids enjoyed the Skimobile ride! Very recommendable. Sauna available for guests (kids allowed) is a must do. Thank you Mikko for your kind hospitality. We will be back!

    A bit further from Rovaniemi than we expected

    Great service and very friendly hosts, who were always very keen to help with our questions and specific asks including transport. Fantastic accommodation -lots of space in a spacious, modern and clean apartment by the lake. Unbeatable value for money. Nice buffet breakfast, with a broad variety of local specialties which gave us a flavor of the local specials.
