Decent hotel for the price
Good hotel for the price. Staff was very kind. We reserved the family room and it was super small. Breakfast was ok but better at other Scandic hotels in Finland (a lot of the food was cold).

Overnight stay with the Mrs on our way to lapland. First room had buzzing contactor, not a big problem since the nice reception desk changed our room. The original room we had contained a pornographic playing card between the bible. Not a nice surprise and a sick joke. Kind of ruined our stay in this nice hotel, was in conversations well beyond our stay. Good breakfast, very comfortable beds. Thanks for the night receptionist who understood the shock caused by the playing card.

Response from Hanna / Hotel Manager on Sep 8, 2020
Dear Sebastian, thank you for your visit and your review. I am very sorry to hear that someone made this kind of stupid joke and ruined your visit. I totally understand it was a bit shock for you and def not a pleasant suprise. Althought I am glad to hear that our night receptionist took your concerns seriously and understood the situation. I hope that despite this, you will visit us again some day and your visit to Lapland has been pleasant. All the best, Hanna

The great location in the middle of the city. The room was clear and breakfast was great. The traffic noise from the main street is quite loud during the weekend evenings.

Hotel in very good position in the center of town. Breakfast very good, but rooms typically sparsely decorated in Scandinavian style. Staff very friendly. Would be nicer if a bottle of water was provided for the room like other hotel chains

It is located in the centre of Oulu and just across the road from Stockmann department store. Hotel staff e.g. front desk, restaurant, cleaning lady etc. are quite friendly and appears to be well trained. I stayed three nights and it was comfortable, which I'd like to recommend to other visitors or business person.
