Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying its great location in the heart of the city with plenty of shops and cafes around. The rooms were clean with nice wooden floors, but a bit small for working. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. While the breakfast was excellent with a good variety, the furniture felt a little worn. Overall, I think it's a good value for money, especially for those who want to be centrally located.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is centrally located and surrounded by shops and cafes. The rooms were clean and comfortable, contributing to a nice overall atmosphere. I really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, but the dining options could use some improvement. Additionally, while the facilities were good, there was a slight downside of limited amenities available during my stay.
The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, right next to the new Valkea shopping center, making it easy to explore. I found the rooms to be clean but a bit outdated, and while the service was incredibly friendly and helpful, the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement in a few areas.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, thanks to its prime location in the heart of Oulu, right next to a shopping center. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made my experience even better. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, as they were pretty basic and didn’t match the four-star standard I expected. The room was clean but felt a bit clinical, reminding me of a school or hospital canteen.
