good location, sauna with wonderfully freezing water in showers - there were no people there (surprisingly), cosy area in front of the hotel (a wonderful view out of the window of a lit area at night). Maybe icy pavements might have been covered by sand or whatever to prevent sliding :).

Scandic Hotel Oulu is a great place to stay when in Oulu. New-ish, very stylish, quality hotel that follows the Scandic chain standard but has a personality of its own, not just another chain hotel. Clean, stylish rooms, great soft beds, stylish interiors, fast working wifi. It's also very quiet with no noise coming from the outside - slept like... More

During lately I have visited Oulu a couple of times. This time I decided to test Scandic and I was very satisfied. Parking area is very comfortably located, the only negative point is that you have to pay beforehand with your creditcard, thats what I hate. The reception and restaurant are very modern and well located, like the hotel itself.... More

Clean, modern, decorated scandinavian style. Nothing really to complain but I still miss something to feel a bit more like home. What really was annoying in the room during the night, there was this blue light by the door which you couldn´t turn off. It reflects light to the room far too much. For a light sleeper like me it...

Modern Scandinavian hotel with friendly staff and clean functional rooms, although somewhat sterile design. The hotel has a good basic gym and a Finnish sauna, but no swimming pool, which is a pity. The breakfast buffet is of standard quality, which could be easily improved with introduction of some regional/local products. Location wise, the hotel leaves nothing to be desired,... More

Good location in city centre, just next to a large cinema. It's modern and the rooms are okay. Overall the hotel is okay. We had an early breakfast and it was not the best I've had but for that time in the morning it was okay as well. The gym is well equipped compared to most hotels.

Central location. Very nice hotel. Lobby cosy and spacious. Nice rooms. Breakfast excellent with a variety of choices. Car parking in a parking hall, not free though. I would recommend this hotel. I have stayed there several times and would stay there again.

Very modern, clean hotel. Nice sized twin room, basically furnished and not too cluttered. Bath room was a huge wet room, but faint odour of something, not sure what, but again it was spotlessly clean. Minibar was simple, could have done with a few more soft drinks. I used room service on both nights however there was no menu in... More

The hotel is in the middle of the town next to a pedestrian area. The rooms were spacious and clean the personnel quite friendly with no problems in communicating in English. Restaurant an d bar was quite good. I liked that there was were restaurants and bars right in the neighborhood of the hotel.

If you are visiting Oulu to enjoy the market area, theatre (as me and my wife did) or downtown restaurants, Scandic is a good choice in a perfect location. It is modern, service is friendly and the restaurant has a wide choice of meals, also no-glutein food. The rooms are spacious and everything works well. This was my second stay... More
