Radisson Blu Hotel, Oulu
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a central, well-reviewed 4-star hotel in Oulu with a breakfast guests rave about, and €188 a night is within budget. Skip it if you are driving and want to keep costs down, since guests find parking and dining expensive, or if €1.50 more for our Luxury pick sounds better.

City visitors who want to walk everywhere will be well served. Guests describe a central setting near the market square and the waterfront, with scenic views. The location score is 9.5.
Business travellers and families also fit. The property lists a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, a terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and it is tagged as pet-friendly.
Who should skip it? Drivers watching costs, because guests consider parking expensive. The same goes for anyone planning to eat in the hotel every night. And with our Luxury pick almost the same price, compare both before choosing.
