Set in Rovaniemi, 2 km from Santa Claus Village, Hostel Tikka offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 1.9 km from Santa Claus Village - Christmas House, 1.9 km from Santa Park and 7.8 km from Arktikum Science Centre. The property is non-smoking and is situated 2.7 km from Santa Claus Village - Main Post Office.

We loved our stay here. Close to airport and Santa Claus village. As we arrived in Rovaniemi late at night, it went smoothly with self check-in. Taxi from the airport to Tikka Hostel was 21eur, so we were happy about our decision not to stay in Rovaniemi city center, which is more far away from the airport. If you don't have heavy luggage distance from the airport even wokable, there is a side walk. Hostel is very cozy, very clean, and warm. Comfy beds. Either sound isolation was good, or we were happy with neighbors. Common kitchen has pots, pan, plates, cups, cuttlery, and water kettle. There is no reception, self check-in, and check-out with the code. So, if you need to deal about your luggage storage, you need to contact in advance if there is a possibility. Many thanks for letting us keep our bags for a couple of hours after check-out. Hostel is close to Santa Claus village. We walked in 30 minutes, and you can even choose different paths. The bus stop to the city center and railway station is just outside the hostel, which was very convenient. Communication through chat was super quick.

Wherever Mini Hostel is offering accommodation in Rovaniemi. The property is located 200 metres from the bus station and 500 metres from the railway station. Attractions in the area include Santa Claus Village - Main Post Office, 7 km away, and Rovaniemi Stadium, located 100 metres from the property.

The hostel is exceptionally clean and tidy. The host was awesome. I did not expect a hostel to be this good. The kitchen was well stalked. Bedsheets were changed daily. The bathroom was very clean and hygienic and well stocked.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    An absolute gem of a hostel. Immaculate clean, safe, heart of the city, close to the bus stop that comes and goes to the airport. Don't book any other hostel in Rovaniemi.

    I had good time staying over here. The Lady in charge of the hostel has done very good job of maintaining it. when i booked first i thought it would be any everyday hostel but it was clean. good hygiene and well maintained. and also at a great location. The bus station for busses towards santa cluas village is just a stones throw away.

    This was the best hostel experience of my life. The staff was very polite and they showed us places that were beyond our imagination. Kajal and Clarisse were very the best hosts and made the stay super fun. The people at the hostel were quick to befriend and we all had an amazing time in the beautiful small town.

    Greta value for money! Especially if you are looking for a cheaper place to stay that still ticks all the boxes. Facilities were great! The beds were super comfy, shower was great, kitchen is big and clearly marked and sauna was perfect! Everything was very clean. Great location as well, only 5-10min walk and you’re in the centre.

    The little capsule with the bed and side shelf were really cosy and held the heat in well even when it was cold outside! It was a great location to easily get to Santa's village and the bus stop was only just up the road too. A shop not far for supplies and felt very safe here.

    Properly the best hostel I have ever stayed. I would like to rate 6 out of 5 stars. Plenty of showers and toilets, no need to queue at any time. The dorm is large enough. Clean and safe. Very Nice stuff. One extra star for the sauna!!
