Riverside Luxury Suites

We’ve been at Riverside Luxury Suites for four summers in a row now. We fell in love with this place as soon as we were there for the first time. After that, our trip to Rovaniemi every summer and our stay at Riverside Luxury Suite has been one of the highlights of our family’s year.

Riverside Luxury Suites is an excellent accommodation option when travelling to Rovaniemi with your family. It’s no surprise that Riverside Luxury Suites is rated 9.8/10 on Booking.com. I have stayed in Finland in several hotels and Airbnb’s, but this is by far one of the best accommodations in Finland.

Location

Riverside Luxury Suites is located in a very quiet area of Vaarala and is about 5.3km from Santa Claus Village, 7.2km from Rovaniemi city centre and 6.1km from Rovaniemi Airport.

In my opinion, the location is excellent, as the area is very peaceful, but it is still only a few minutes’ drive to the nearest grocery store and about a 10min drive to Rovaniemi city center.

It’s a good idea to have a car when staying at Riverside Luxury Suite. In the yard there is a free parking space in the carport and several parking spaces outside the shelter as well.

Here’s a closer location of Riverside Luxury Suites on the map:

The Apartments

What we appreciate about our holiday is that the place where we are is clean, spacious and peaceful. Riverside Luxury Suites has it all. A big plus is the magnificent view of the river from the living room – in that landscape, the soul and mind flab, and at the latest when looking at that landscape, you can relax from the rush and stress of everyday life.

Riverside Luxury Suite has 5 apartments. Four apartments have 3 bedrooms and one apartment has 4 bedrooms. The apartments also have a spacious and well-equipped kitchen (with high-quality tableware!), a living room, a utility room, two toilets, a bathroom and a sauna.

As a family with children, we want the holiday to be easy and I have to say that the laundry facilities (washing machine and dryer) make everyday life much easier.

It’s also lovely that the Riverside Luxury Suite has a really spacious lawn in the backyard and there’s a playground for kids in the front yard. So children have room to hustle and release energy!

One of the most awesome things about staying here is the wonderful view of the river that opens from the living room of each apartment. You could just stare at that landscape from morning till night! We often drink our morning coffee on the terrace and watch the flowing river. Oh, how relaxing!

The Yard

In addition to the fact that the Riverside Luxury Suite has a great lawn in the backyard and there is also a campfire site in the backyard where you can make a fire and fry sausages.

There is also a lakeside sauna and a hot tub in the yard, which can be rented for a separate price.

Why Riverside Luxury Suites Is A Great Accommodation Option for Families?

Riverside Luxury Suites is a great option for families for many reasons. It is spacious inside, has everything that families with children may need (well-equipped kitchen, utility room with washer and dryer, bathroom and sauna), it is in a quiet area, yet close to everything.

Riverside Luxury Suite is a convenient place to make day trips to Ounasvaara, Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi city centre services and other Rovaniemi attractions.

When we’ve stayed at the Riverside Luxury Suite, we always feel like we don’t want to leave! There the soul and mind rests and can calm down properly from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The Price Range

In my opinion, the price range of Riverside Luxury Suite is excellent. In the summer and autumn, the price level of Riverside Luxury Suites is around 170-180€/night.

In the winter during the high season (November-March) the price level is around 300-1600€/night depending on the dates.

Conclusion

I don’t recommend hotels and accommodation very easily. They have to be really good and of high quality. I can fully recommend Riverside Luxury Suites. We’ve been there for four summers now and it’s never disappointed. Every time I feel like I don’t want to leave. A summer trip to Rovaniemi is one of the highlights of our family.

Riverside Luxury Suites is ideal not only for families but also for larger groups of friends. And although we’ve been to Riverside Luxury Suites only in the summer, it is a really nice and atmospheric place to stay in the winter as well.
