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 located 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. Amazing place! Location is fantastic because it’s directly in front of the bus stop and glued to the supermarket. You can also walk to the Santa Claus Village, the path is beautiful. Important to note: we weren’t able to find the city bus routes in Google maps, but the bus from the city center to the hostel is bus 8 direction Arctic Circle. When returning from the hostel to the rail station, consider the time, it took us more than 45 minutes. We also caught a glimpse of the aurora from the front of the hostel!!! Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see more. Rovaniemi is an expensive place, so this was the most cost effective place we found.

Boasting a bar, Hostel Saana is situated in Kilpisjärvi. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Free private parking is available and the hostel also features ski equipment hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. This hostel was definitely better than what we expected. The host was very accommodating for our late arrival, and we were able to do everything on our own. This was our first hostel stay, and we were impressed: aside from sharing a bathroom, which many westerns are not used to, but did go fine, everything was very comfortable, clean, and it was in a beautiful location. I would love to return during the summer months when we could see the surroundings a little better, but the winter month was still absolutely incredible. I will always wonder, however, why Norwegian moose cannot seem to read road signs properly, and always cross at the Caribou signs. ;)
