Family room
65–80 m² with a full kitchen and dishwasher — a home base for 5 to 9 travellers.
Since 1960
Old walls, new life
The family rooms are small apartments inside the old dormitory: separate bedrooms, a living space, and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher. Where the other rooms borrow the floor's shared kitchen, here the kitchen is yours — which changes what a week in Kemijärvi costs and how it feels.
Between four and eight beds plus a sofa bed sleep a family or a crew of up to nine. The house rules stay the same: no screens in the bedrooms, stairs instead of a lift, and the northern quiet included in the price.

A 1960 dormitory keeps its habits. We'd rather tell you everything now than surprise you at the door.
Good to know
- Digital detox by design
- There is no TV in the rooms — on purpose. The quiet is the point: books, long views and Lapland silence.
- No lift in the house
- The 1960 dormitory has stairs only. Ground-floor room 106 is fully accessible — no thresholds and a spacious shower and toilet room. Ask for it when booking if steps are a concern.
- Housekeeping
- Rooms are not serviced during short stays. To save water and energy, towels are changed when needed and fresh ones come on request. On stays of six nights or more, the bed linen is changed halfway through.
House rules
- Pets
- Welcome in rooms 101 and 102 for a 25 € fee. An unregistered pet in any other room carries a 200 € cleaning charge.
- Smoking
- The whole house is smoke-free. Smoking indoors carries a 500 € fee. There is a marked smoking area outside.
- Keys
- A lost key means relocking the door, a 300 € charge. Return your key to the key automat when you leave.
Your room has its own kitchen — but the floor kitchens are where the house cooks together. Fully equipped, free to use, open to every guest.
A free evening sauna is part of every stay: women 19:00–20:00, men 20:00–21:00, daily. Want it to yourselves? Book the sauna privately for 50 € an hour.
Guests say
From recent stays
“Exactly what it promises — an old school building made warm and simple. No TV, and honestly we didn't miss it. The shared kitchen was the best part of the trip.”
“Quiet, clean and personal. The evening sauna downstairs after a day outside was perfect, and check-in with the door code couldn't have been easier.”
“We had the family apartment for a week — our own kitchen made Lapland affordable for five of us. Kemijärvi itself is wonderfully unhurried.”
