I stayed in this hotel for one night, room 209. The hotel is made in the model of an old hospital and the hotel room was designed to remind about a hospital room, including the bathroom reminding of a bathroom in a hospital. It was a kind of interesting solution, perhaps not to everybody’s liking but an interesting experience. The decoration was simple and the room represented a kind of “minimal” style: there were only a limited amount of things and thus the room did not feel like too full of stuff. I liked that feature of the room.||||When entering the building where the room was, I noticed quite stuffy air in the corridors. The air was also somewhat stuffy in the room at first. I opened the window and this helped significantly. The window had two parts on top of each other and I kept the other part of the window open throughout the night and that turned out to be a very good solution: the air remained very good for me. There was no air conditioning. Still, I would not recommend at least the rooms in the old part of the building for those who usually suffer much from stuffy indoor air. ||||The hotel room was very clean. There was enough space in the room for clothes and much space in the bathroom as well. The view was to the park nearby, with a view to the water as well, which was overall really nice. The sound insulation was very good. The room temperature was good, neither too hot nor too cold. ||||The breakfast was excellent and diverse: bread, yoghurts, different types of pastry, juices, cheeses, ham, fruits, vegetables… The service was excellent and the receptionists were helpful. The location is somewhat of a walk from the city center and there were not that many restaurants close by. However, the center is about one kilometer away and there are a lot of restaurants. I can recommend the walk in the park towards the city center: the park is quite nice at least during summer. ||||If going to Oulu next time, maybe I would choose a hotel closer to center. I was attending an event in Lasaretti when visiting it, and thus in this situation, this was an excellent place in terms...
Read moreWe stayed for one night on our road trip from Finland to Norway (Oulu was a perfect stop between Helsinki and Norway). We chose this hotel based on other trip adviser reviews.||The room was clean and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. We got to choose a view of the river or a view of the hotel yard, we chose the river view (chose the view of the river if you get a chance).||They had the customer's safeness in mind; hand sanitizers everywhere and in breakfast every other table was off limit (or it was told to the guests to keep this in mind). There where rubber gloves to use of taking coffee and beverages, but unfortunatelly i didn't see anyone using them (only me and my boyfriend...even if there was signes and instructions but nobody cared except for us and the staff). I think the signs with instructions should be clearer or with a bigger font. The staff was friendy and wishes us a good morning.||We had a room including breakfast.||All in all, a good hotel near Oulu center with a pretty park to walk through to get to...
Read moreWe booked this hotel in advance for a visit to Oulu and arrived late at night. As we were told previously the place served as a main hospital and was converted into a hotel rather recently. Reception and breakfast area are in a separate building, while accommodation block is in the building next to it. One can reached it either by internal bridge or from outside. Initially i had a problem to locate my room but on a day 2 i got used to the buildings and even found a separate entrance to the living unit. Rooms are rather modern and bathrooms are also excellent. Bedding is of super quality. Breakfast was also good, with variety of food and bit crowded. Location also merits attention, as you can enjoy a walk in the park and river just next to the hotel. In 10 minutes walk you can reach the center of the city and taxi is also parked next to the hotel. Overall great experience and can be considered as a place for stay...
