Restel - accommodation in Rovaniemi

The accommodation - in this case a superior cabin - was excellent. Very clean comfortable and warm. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable and the private sauna was a lovely addition and very welcome after being out in very cold weather all day. The kitchenette was useful but would have benefitted from an oven as two small hobs and a microwave limits self-catering options. The staff were all very friendly and helpful We knew Finland is an expensive country before booking but we weren't prepared for just how the tourism industry in Lapland takes unfair advantage of its mostly captive market. Apart from husky safaris, it isn't necessary to pre-book excursions and experiences and you can often walk up and book either for same or next day. NB. Avoid booking experiences with "Lapland Welcome". We had a very bad experience as did others we met.

Perfect location.

Be sure to take advantage of as many excursions and experiences as you can. The staff is incredible!
