Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Blueberry, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request rooms on the higher floors (4th floor and above) at The Blueberry. These rooms are likely to be further away from the street noise on Pirttitie, a relatively quiet residential street in Rovaniemi. Additionally, the hotel's lift is located on the ground floor, so higher floors will have a shorter walk to the lift, reducing the chances of encountering noise from the lift or service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Guests who are light sleepers may want to avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) or those facing the street, as these may be more prone to noise from passing traffic and pedestrians on Pirttitie.
Best views
Given The Blueberry's address on Pirttitie, rooms on the higher floors (4th floor and above) may offer views of the surrounding residential area or the nearby forest, depending on the orientation of the room.
