The hotel location is very convenient, city center and train station are within walking distance, there is a bus stop nearby and within 5-10 mins walk on the other side of the river (yes, the hotel stays on a dam, so I could enjoy the view of frozen water) and it is at the edge of a pleasant park. Since the public transport is frequent in the city, you can reach whatever location very fast. The breakfast is solid and diverse, with desserts changing from day to day. I particularly can recommend dairy products, they are in general, great in Finland. I was staying in early March, so it was frosty outside, but the room was nicely heated. The bed was comfortable, I am still dreaming of the nice pillow to buy such a one for home, the room was clean and tidy. The building was a hospital in earlier times, as you might have guessed from the name, so the layout is suitable also for people with disabilities, and the bathroom is equipped accordingly. Because of this, the room is also spacious. The staff is particularly friendly and willing to help. I arrived at 2 am in the night (my flight got delayed) and they were waiting for me, everything was ready, they also kindly arranged a taxi for me from the airport (in advance). Probably not best suited for a romantic trip, but for me it was a great choice for a business stay for 5 nights and I would come back.

Great location in a quiet part of a vibrant Oulu city center, in a park and by the river. Hotel is a combination of the modern and historical buildings, very stylish, comfortable and visitor friendly. Our room was spacious, clean and bright, decorated tastefully. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is amazing. This hotel is a place we would definitely return upon our next trip to Oulu 🤍

Almost a perfect hotel. It was a beautifully converted building in a fantastically beautiful location adjacent to the river. The area round the hotel was spacious and quiet when we visited in late August. Lots of young students about to enliven the parks and streets around the hotel. The hotel interior was uplifted by the presence of modern art hanging on the walls. Free parking. A short walk to the town centre. Good breakfast.

No fridge in the room to keep milk for our coffee but reception provided us with a small jug of milk when requested. We were not impressed by the dinner we had in the restaurant. We should have taken the trouble to find somewhere to eat in town.

Great location, walking distance to central. My husband and I enjoyed to walk the park in front of hotel. There were tons of walking paths. Staff was so friendly and room was enough size for couple.

The picture had a kettle in a room, however it was not a kettle in a room. I like drinking a tea all day so it was inconvenience and disappointed. Breakfast was ok no fabulous throughout out my experience in Finland. I did not like the music in the breakfast.

Overall I had a good stay. I chose the hotel because the conference was hosted there. Good facilities for conferences. The food was ok but the lunch was not particularly exciting. Very comfortable bed. The staff was very kind. It is very close to a nice park and walking distance to the city. Bus number 9 (to and from the airport) stops 1 minute walking from the hotel.

The lunch was not particularly exciting. The room was a bit cold at night (even though it was summer), perhaps because the heating was off.

The location, the room very clean and comfortable bed, the view over the river, the decoration and Christmas lights outside. I left very early in the morning, they got me a taxi and a packed breakfast to-go ! Highly recommended.

Nothing

Quiet and relaxed place. The restaurant was nice and food delicious. Staff were very helpful and nice towards our child.

The pillows were twice too thick and very hard. In such a large room, would've expected a mini fridge.

Very nice repurposed building in a quiet, pleasant park location. The building has been thoughtfully laid out and well decorated with original art. Friendly helpful staff. Decent size rooms with lift access to floors. In room drink making facilities. Very comfortable beds and like Finland generally very peaceful. Decent buffet breakfast with a reasonable selection for vegans, as always there could be a better vegan selection which would also appeal to none vegan guests.

Only stayed for one night, no obvious negative points. A greater vegan suitable selection on the breakfast buffet would be nice though.

The most helpful staff out of all Oulu hotels. They seem like they sincerely wish to help you, not just cold polite smiling like in other Oulu hotels. They always do their best to help.

Too small bathroom. Walking distance to downtown. This is not however a problem with a good weather. Breakfast is a bit poorer compared to other Oulu hotels, but good anyway.

Staff and the hotel were great. Good location, very quiet.

Unfortunately restaurant was closed and it was raining. They gave us some umbrellas and we had a good walk. Irish bar and great Indian restaurant. Garam Marsala.
