“Met expectations but did not exceed them”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Was staying at Radisson Blu Oulu during Christmas time.

Overall it was a rather basic hotel experience. My standard expectations for a Finnish hotel were met, but not exceeded.

It seems the hotel has been refurbished a couple years ago as the rooms felt quite new in terms of decor and the condition they were in. However, the standard room I had was a bit small-sized.

Bfast buffet was included in room rate and was ample. Hot food, however, could have been hotter.

I did not use much of the services the hotel had to offer so cannot really comment on those. I was surprised, and disappointed, that the lobby bar closed already at 10pm.

There is a disco downstairs so I would choose a room on the upper floors. This time my room was on the 2nd floor and I could hear the music and had trouble falling asleep.

Room Tip: There is a disco downstairs. Avoid rooms at least on the 2nd floor.

Thank you for taking your time to write a review about our hotel. It is unfortunate that your stay with us wasn´t completely satisfactory. Christmas time at our hotel is relatively quiet and because of that our restaurant opening hours are bit shorter than normally. I hope that we will see you again in Radisson Blu Hotel Oulu and we will do our best, that your next stay will be more comfortable with us. With best regards, Pasi Pollari/Front Office Manager

“Lovely hotel..friendly staff...fair price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Stayed here for one night and was happliy pleased by the hotel. The location is just great and everything in Oulu is in easy walking distance. This is an oldish hotel and you can see this by the big hallways and old school lift but these are only attractions in my opinion. Huge and I mean huge TV in the room with a great view. Breafast was typical Finnish so nothing special but all the boxes were ticked.

Only drawback was that the A/C in the room was very loud but I had ear plugs anyway! Now to be fair I am a light sleeper but even my partner, who has literaly slept through an earthquake, said it was loud. Had to give the place 4 starts because of the noisy room....otherwise a 5 in every other way!

Will happily stay there again.

“clean and comfortable!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

Stayed at the hotel last summer, and we were very content. The hotel and its room were very clean, modern and nice in every way. The hotel is good value for money, and even the service is quite good (excellent on the finnish scale). Breakfast is also excellent, and there are loads of dining places nearby.

“Excellnt as usual for Radisson Blu”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

Clearly I'm a big fan of the chain, selected this hotel without even checking out the competition. Modern, clean, comfortable rooms in the typical Radisson style. Free Wifi and a nice breakfast. Not the largest of selections of food, but quite nice, with a view to the water. The restaurant was quite good too, and very reasonaby priced for Finland. The location was excellent, right by the water and a 5 minute walk to the pedestria area.

The only complaint might be the view. We got a northern exposure, with views to a road, though there was water as well and the road was not directly below. I've had much worse. But word to the wise, request a south-side room...
