I absolutely love my stay at Cafe Koti. Staff were friendly, and the palce's design is very colorful and interesting. Staff were really helpful with assisting me where to visit while in Rovaniemi. Highly recommended, and pricing is fair.

it is a very nice hostel.
Quiet and clean, nice staff and good breakfast.
The only stupid thing is that there is no TV in the room and you can't open the windows
