"I’m so glad we decided to pay a little extra and stay onsite at Santa Claus village. The staff went above and beyond to welcome us to Finland and absolutely mesmerised my children by letting them know Santa was expecting them. We also really appreciated that the staff kept our luggage as we had arrived early, and then dropped it to our apartment later in the day. We arrived early but staff emailed as soon as our room was ready so we were still in before the agreed check in time. The apartment was perfectly formed and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and the sauna was a lovely addition. The breakfast was excellent - we really appreciated that it was served until 11am and found the choice of food to be outstanding. My children particularly loved the white chocolate donuts! Thank you so much - I could not recommend this stay highly enough."
"The staff was accommodating. The room was very clean.The location was excellent with ferry rides near by and the K Market around the corner. This was a perfect choice for me!"
"This is an incredibly nice hotel. The staff were kind and helpful, the room is very comfortable and clean, the food was good, and you get a discounted rate at a lovely spa a short walk away. My only complaint is that, as an American who lives in a country with a prison industrial system, I was hoping this prison-turned-hotel would be focused more on "Isn't it wonderful our crime rate is so low in Finland that we close prisons rather than open more? Look how we reused the space to provide a comfortable space for travelers to sleep and a nice cafe where people can enjoy meals together". The decor is lots of barbed wire and handcuffs attached to furniture and a giant mural of the prisoners in the restaurant. They make it nearly impossible to not think about the people who were once held there. I wish, much like the way a lot of old churches have been turned into secular community spaces, that this old prison felt more interested in a brighter future rather than clinging to a dark past."
