Hotels With Swimming Pools in North Ostrobothnia, Finland

The receptionists with whom I had contact (three altoghether) were all very friendly (sincere heart-felt friendliness) and helpful with any request or question I came up with. The room (single on 5th floor) was a bit small, bit in relation to price paid still OK. A friend had booked a business room (price difference was not that high); this was spacious, nice in style and had a private sauna. Free coffee, tea and small pastries all day (self-made, not bought!).

Lapland Hotel Oulu has an excellent location only 200 meters from the town hall, 700 meters from the market square and 700 meters from the railway station. So everything is within walking distance, e.g. restaurants, shopping possibilities and main sights. It is also possible to rent bikes from the hotel (8 euros/3 hours, 25 euros/day). We saw Oulu Cathedral and Franzen Park from our window. The area is very silent. Sometimes you may hear the sound of church bells. We hadn't a balcony but most rooms with a balcony seemed to have an indoor balcony with view to the restaurant of the hotel. Our room with Lappish style was very cozy. We had a safety deposit box, a silent small refrigerator, an iron, an ironing board, a big flat screen television and a self adjustable air conditioning system. Air conditioning nozzles were near the floor, under the wardrobe. It was possible to adjust indoor temperature using the touch screen and also turn those nozzles manually to a different position. However, air conditioning wasn't very effective when it was hot outdoors. Breakfast is always good in Lapland Hotels and especially here in Oulu. They had all the usual hotel breakfast foods but also several local specialties, e.g. buckwheat cereals, rosemary crispbread, malt bread with tar, beetroot hummus, dried cranberries, cloudberries, cloudberry jam, blueberry juice, cranberry juice, rhubarb smoothie, lingonberry-seed tosca pie, cinnamon buns, sour milk cake etc. Also alcohol free spruce sparkling wine was available but not every morning. However, I especially loved green smoothie made of apples, spinach and spruce roots. Oula Kitchen & Bar is the restaurant of the hotel and it is an excellent dinner restaurant. Read separate Tripadvisor reviews of it. There are also saunas (a free public sauna in the evening, separate for women and men, and a private sauna for 1-4 people with pre-booking and extra charge) and a free swimming pool (open from morning until evening) in the hotel. The nearby Fressi Gym is available for hotel visitors (5 euros/visit if you aren't a member of Lapland Hotels Club). Service was very kind in the whole hotel. I really recommend Lapland Hotel Oulu for everybody.

Breakfast at scandic's hotels seems to be exactly the same, very rich and very good. The front desk staff were also very friendly and friendly, and the experience was great. Very close to the fat police and the market, there are many places to eat nearby, but they are all expensive.

The location of the hotel is very good, the surrounding area, Jean is very good, easy to eat, the hotel is located in the central area, the room is very clean, the hotel is very comfortable, very good price

We stayed 4 nights in the week leading up to Chris**as in one of the lodges and have to say the accommodation was excellent. We had a lodge 10 mins walk from the main complex wuth bedroom on the first floor of the duplex and two ground floor bedrooms a kitchen diner and lounge. Downstairs shower room was big and had a sauna at the end of it, there was a covered patio but it was too cold to use it - there were amazing views of a frozen lake out the back. The hotel itself was good, breakfast was standard offering I would say and we only ate dinner in O'Leary's Sports Bar so cannot comment on the other meals there. The hotel shop has a limited offering and is quite expensive, be aware the shop cannot sell alcohol after 9pm. The pool was great and kept the kids entertained, lighting made it look really unique. The slide, waterfalls and whirlpools were all really good fun, didn't get a chance to try the sauna. The price for a family ticket was €60 and gives access to everything (massages extra). We also went in the Angry Birds park on our last night, this was €10 for my eldest and free for my youngest as she was under 4 years old - they both loved it. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful when we needed anything, but we didn't need to bother them much. A couple of things I would say is that as a family of four with two young children (3 & 6) arrived at 6:30pm after a full day of travelling having got up at 3am, we had to all drag our Suitcases to our lodge on our own in the snow which was a 5-10 minute walk away and not easy to find the first time. I think they should look to half a golf buggy (there is a golf course opposite) to help you to your room on the first night - have had this in plenty of other hotels previously so I don't see why it would be a problem. Also when we booked a taxi to take us back to the airport it would have been helpful had the taxi been able to come to our lodge to collect us and our luggage rather than having to make two trips with the luggage and children to reception to meet it. I feel these are small items that can be fixed with a bit of feedback and didn't impact the total enjoyment of the trip overall - the kids loved it and given the choice, would certainly return!

It’s a cute little hotel very near the airport. The hotel has a limited staff so the services are a little limited but friendly stuff was doing everything they could to make our stay good. The breakfast was better than could be expected from a small hotel like this.

The ski village is small and the hotel is only 30 metres from the cable car and the place to rent ski equipment. Parking is free. Breakfast is not bad. There are basically no Chinese tourists in the ski village. If you like skiing and want to experience the European ski resort, this is a very famous ski resort in Finland, you can come here to experience it. If you have never skied, it is not recommended to come here. If you want to try skiing in Finland, you can find a snow field nearby. After all, there is still a distance. It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Rovaniemi.

Old fashioned hotel in the heart of Oulu and very near of the railway station. Did not startle. Had to wait staff when checked in :(. The room was ok, the bed comfortable and there were enough pillows. Maybe the cleaning woman was too short, because the upper shelf was dusty in the wardrobe. Nice bar. Breakfast ok, but the personnel (youngsters) did not bring the finished porridge soon enough to get any. The egg butter needed more butter, was difficult to spread over the Karelian pie. However, the variety of food met the satisfaction.

We booked this hotel in advance for a visit to Oulu and arrived late at night. As we were told previously the place served as a main hospital and was converted into a hotel rather recently. Reception and breakfast area are in a separate building, while accommodation block is in the building next to it. One can reached it either by internal bridge or from outside. Initially i had a problem to locate my room but on a day 2 i got used to the buildings and even found a separate entrance to the living unit. Rooms are rather modern and bathrooms are also excellent. Bedding is of super quality. Breakfast was also good, with variety of food and bit crowded. Location also merits attention, as you can enjoy a walk in the park and river just next to the hotel. In 10 minutes walk you can reach the center of the city and taxi is also parked next to the hotel. Overall great experience and can be considered as a place for stay when in Oulu.
