A very nice and quiet small hotel at the edge of the city centre. Super cozy room and fantastic bed. The breakfast was delicious and The Five O'clock Tea (included in room price) was a great surpise, nice to get something to eat and drink right after workday when you come to hotel.

It was a working travel with the purpose to meet cultural institutions and actors. We did not have time to explore Oulu as tourists, and it is really sad. But the cultural scene seems to be really rich and interesting. Visiting Valve cultural center was a discovery for us. It is a place, where cultural actors are concentrated. Dinner and a jazz concert by University students at Mallassauna restaurant was an amazing experience. And early breakfast in MAKIA Cafe - a very nice inclusive place, made the beginning of the day just wonderful.

I was only for one night, during my motorcycle trip. I was looking place to sleep and rest after 700km driving in the rain. And that apartment made my day with sauna inside. Regarding city I do not have any feeling to share.

I had a business trip there in the last week of May. The weather was good and it should be the warmest week in Oulu (around 15-20 'C). Oulu is a small city and most of the shops and restaurants are located in the city centre. One can drive (or take bus) to those parks, the scenes are extremely beautiful. The food is good especially the Salmon soup and Reindeer steak/tongue.
Also, for visiting the Santa Claus village, one can stay in Oulu and take train to Rovaniemi (~2.5 hours).

Given the time of year (November) the cold will stop many activities, until Christmas when the nearby Santa villages will be teaming with travelers and visitors.
So I would recommend a long weekend (4 to 6) to be the ideal length of stay at this time of the year.

Oulu is a lovely city and I am fortunate to have have traveled to many European countries in my life which I can compare it against. Oulu is easy to navigate on foot, even with children, no complaints from them as the beauty of all the nature kept them interested and excited. Oulu is rather clean, calm and yet you feel comfortable and strong even in a new environment. The library is a lovely place to visit too!

A beautiful city in the (very far) north, yet friendly and open and spotlessly clean. Excellent infrastructure, such as the bus services - easily usable by visitors - and the safe walking and cycle pathways separate to the motor cars
An excellent room with a beautiful bathroom and lovely bath products (which you can also buy home). Everything was super clean. The Lapland theme is consistent through the hotel and it is executed in a very classy and beautiful way. The theme can also be seen in the breakfast which was excellent! In terms of Covid-19 safety measures, there was hand sanitizer in every corner, the staff wore masks and there were signs reminding visitors of keeping safety distance, masks etc. which was really nice and well taken care of.
The hotel is situated in an excellent location, front office staff was very generous and kind, we arrived very late as we drove all the way from Helsinki Vantaa, we were starving and the restaurant was about to close, the chef kept the restaurant open until we finished eating. also the food was amazing and yum. checkout was supercool and fast. room was clean and spacious enough for a couple. it had all amenities sufficient for a one night stay. obviously the plus for this property is its location.
I enjoyed my stay at Kotimaailma Apartments Sairaalanrinne very much. The apartment was clean and tidy, perfect for a two-night stay. The beds were really comfortable, which was great since we were very tired after the train ride. The area is quiet; there are grocery stores around 8 minutes away, and a bus stop close by in case you want to go to the central part of Oulu. The best part of our stay was definitely the private sauna in the apartment. Would visit again.
Cozy and home-like accommodation. Pikisaari is a unique setting for a small hotel like this, and yet the Oulu city centre is only a 5-min walk away. The rooms are comfortable, clean and decorated with taste. One of my favorite accommodations in Oulu, definitely.
Charming hotel, wonderful team, fantastic restaurant, great drinks and perfect for a visit to Oulu. Modern rooms with still give a perfect idea of the house‘s history. Simple but all good bikes where free to use. Staff was of great assistance at any time.
The location was perfect and so the view. Loved the 10th floor, new apartment and kitchen with some coffee. Clear instructions how to found the house and keys, many thanks for the earlier check in time 🥰 I’ll def come back as I travel often to Oulu.
Good location: The center is close to the city center; a 10-minute walk is enough. Further, the hotel is close to the bus stop (Hallituskatu P); no bus change from & to airport necessary. The bathroom was tidy and in a very good condition.
The rooms were comfortable and clean. The decor was very local and original. Including all of the lit candles. Very nice. And the breakfast buffet was outstanding with a big spread and many local delicacies. I will stay at Lapland again.
Amazing location and cozy cottage fully equipped with everything. 5 min walk from the lighthouse. Free parking in front of the cottages for every guest and easy check-in/out. I highly recommend it if you're staying in Oulu area.
Great city, great staff, good hotel.
I made an error about the date of reservation, booking..com said I cant change it. But when I called the hotel, they did change it and were very friendly.
