We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back! Loved using the bikes, sauna, playroom and more. Excellent location and beautiful room.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

What a truly lovely hotel right in the heart of Oulu! It feels genuinely high‑end, and honestly much nicer (and cheaper) than the Lapland Hotel, for example. Everything about it is so practical, spotless, and completely hassle‑free. The amenities are fantastic, and the breakfast included in the price is absolutely wonderful. I’d highly recommend this place to other travellers — it really exceeded my expectations.

Eftersom många inte verkade hålla sin egna frukosttid så blev det väldigt stökigt och bullrigt vid buffén. Sen så hittade inte min rullstolsburna vän lilla trapphissen, så det blev lite bök att rulla upp.

Huone oli hiljainen ja siisti. Suihku jäi tiputtamaan suihkussa käynnin jälkeen. Myös hanan käyttäminen hankalaa saippuaisella/ liukkaalla kädellä. Sauna positiivinen lisä illan rentoutumisessa. Aamupala oli monipuolinen ja maittava hotelli aamiainen. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja ammattitaitoista.
