“I found Santa'S Hotel Rudolf a practical choice in Rovaniemi, placing you within easy reach of the city's attractions. The recently updated rooms offer a fresh feel, and the inclusion of a shared kitchen caters well to budget-conscious travellers. While not a luxury stay, the Rudolf holds its own as an affordable base for exploring Lapland.”
