OuluHostel — Hotel in Oulu sub-region

My husband and I stayed here for three days in late August, 2025. We know that others were staying in the hostel with us yet we never encountered anyone. The kitchen was vast and had everything you could ever need. The owners were polite and liked to chat, and were open to sharing a cup of coffee with you. As I am a voracious coffee-drinker just like the Finns, it is a welcome invitation to offer your hosts to brew a pot for more than just yourself. I loved the library, whose nonfiction books seem to have been organized by subject matter. There is a sign at the front warning guests not to touch the dog, and my husband and I never did (we were scared by the sign that if we did, the dog might bite our hands off) yet the dog would often approach us and nudge us with its snout. We were nonetheless admonished not to touch the dog. We are walkers, and the hostel was a brisk half-hour walk from the train station, yet that didn't matter to us. We loved the location. Plenty of grocery stores and restaurants nearby, so you didn't have to walk far. I recommend OuluHostel AlliMaria from two happy...

A lovely hostel located in Oulu (Finland). The staff is so nice and welcoming and the rooms and services are superb. If I ever come back, I would definitely consider booking here...

Erittäin viihtyisä ja kodikas hostelli, mukavat omistajat. Vierailijoille käytössä keittiö, jossa saa keittää kahvia talon piikkiin, ja ihana, värikäs olohuone/ruokailutila josta löytyy kiintoisa kirjahylly, lehtiä, ym. Huoneessa sai nukutuksi makeasti, oli hiljaista ja sopivan lämmintä. Parin km:n kävelymatka Oulun keskustaan - myös bussiyhteydet hyvät aivan hostelli lähellä. Vieressä myös pieni ostoskeskus, joten ruokatarvikkeita ja muuta kätevästi saatavilla. Lidlikin kivenheiton...
