Standard room
A calm 22 m² room for two — twin beds, a private shower room, and none of the noise.
Since 1960
Old walls, new life
This was a teachers' room in the 1960 seminary dormitory, and it still carries the proportions of that era: an honest rectangle, a big window, daylight that stays late into the summer night. The renovation in 2025 kept the calm and replaced everything you touch — beds, textiles, the shower room.
There is no TV, and that is a decision, not an omission. Kemijärvi is Finland's northernmost town; the view and the silence do more than a screen would. A refrigerator and a kettle cover the small hours, and the floor's shared kitchen is a short walk down the corridor when you want to cook properly.

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 covers the basics with a fridge and kettle; the floor's fully equipped shared kitchen covers everything else. Cook a real dinner, meet the house.
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.”
