Reviews for Hotel Aakenus
Review 1:Well, the design (if it has any) isn't from this millennia.
Review 2:Even if the hotel isn't fancy, it's still very functional: breakfast good, all the basic equipment can be borrowed from the reception (iron, water kettle) and simple & clean room
Review 3:Given the price we paid it definitely worths the money - spacious nice hip hotel! And the location is great if you Are going to Paris. We stayed in W the previous 3 nights, it's considered to be a 5 star hotel but it didn't worth the money at all...
Review 4:Two single beds pushed together to make a double bed
Review 5:Friendly staff allowed us to check in early after catching the night train from Helsinki. Rooms are furnished simply but adequate facilities. Good breakfast! Easy walk to shopping centres, tourist offices, McDonald's etc. Airport shuttle bus costs 7 euro which was convenient for our early flight when we left. We stayed 2 nights here with a visit to Santa's village and an overnight stay in an igloo inbetween. Staff at Aakenus let us leave our suit cases in the luggage storage room there while we were gone which was great.
Review 6:The lighting of the restaurant is a bit too dim, you will feel sleepy after sitting for a while.
Review 7:The atmosphere is very cosy; The room is quiet, bed is comfortable; All staffs are very helpful! Helped a lot during the stay, help booked tours, answer every question in details!
Review 8:There was only one sauna room. For women 5-6pm and 9-10pm for women and 7-9pm for men, which is very uncomfortable. We didn't know Why this time sckedule was settled. We stayed 3 day but the time didn't change, so we didn't have any chance to go there.
Review 9:Slight feel of a student halls of residence, not very atmospheric. Feel that was a bit expensive though I stayed during the Christmas season.
Review 10:Comfortable, clean, friendly service, walking distance to centre. Very good basic hotel.
Review 11:this hotel is very central, ordering a taxi to the hotel for any trip we planned was excellent and arrived within 5-10 minutes, food was lovely and nice atmosphere.
Review 12:Twin beds are never nice. A lot of european hotels have the option of double beds, this would be an improvement.
Review 13:Cleanliness and breakfast. Hotel were able to arrange a very early breakfast for us on the second morning when we left.
Review 14:- It is a very average hotel but still quite expensive. Good for one night but if you stay longer I would recommend choosing a different hotel. - Staff wasn't too friendly upon check in - We booked last minute and once we got there the staff informed us that they can't accept booking.com bookings during night. Then we had to pay more than what was said on this website when I booked it. Since the hotel can't take last minute bookings from this website during the night, making a booking shouldn't be possible then...
Review 15:- Breakfast was included - Close to Rovaniemi center - Free parking
Review 16:1. Nothing to dislike 2. Only recommendation, Sauna should be open in morning hours also.
Review 17:1. Airport express bus stops to this hotel. 2. Staff is very friendly and helpful 3. Comfortable stay 4. Sauna is good.
