Best Places to Stay

For a more swanky and upscale accommodation option, head to Holiday Club Oulun Eden- a 169 roomed property that is obsessively stylish and exclusive. It is set amidst a scenic beach backdrop and is popular for its strategic central location and multi-cuisine restaurant that serves great local fare. Try the exotic Finnish sauna or Turkish steam at their well-equipped spa. Other ‘no compromising on luxury’ options include Sokos Hotel Arina Oulu, famous for its French cuisine and Lasaretti Hotel Oulu, for its pristine setting on the Lasraretinsaari Island. Visitors with no price constraints can also check out Radisson Blue Hotal Oulu, Scandic Oulu Hotel, Best Western Hotel Apollo Oulu and Cumulus Hotel Oulu. Radisson Blue gives a vantage point view of the shore that gleams over the Gulf of Bothnia. For a pricey albeit value for money pick, visitors can consider Holiday Inn Oulu (located next to the iconic Olulu Cathedral) that has customized rooms with charming and intimate courtyards. Some rooms come with an in-built sauna. The business and conference facilities offered by the hotel are also one of the most sophisticated in the region.

For more practical options that are easy on the wallet, try Ramada Oulu- a place offering clean, well-stocked and expansive rooms coupled with good service and a convenient location. There are other good bets like Hotel Rantakalla, a humble looking property that houses clean rooms and gives great comfort at a modest price. Summer Hotel Oppimestari is another fine choice in the category for its pragmatic price and attentive service. Located in the northern quarter of Oulu is the Kesähotelli Oppimestari, that offers one of the cheapest accommodation options in town. It has nice airy residential rooms furbished with kitchen cabinets and cooking facilities along with a gamut of other modern services. 

Oulu has a good mix of the choicest luxury abodes set in tranquil and naturally breath-taking locations along with budget options that give great facilities at unassuming prices.
