Detailed Reviews
I've stayed in Hotel Apollo on three separate occasions. The first was two years ago, and the room was so small that I hardly could turn around in the bathroom, and the free floor space between the two beds was like from a doll's house. The two latter rooms were marginally bigger, but both times with a tiny sauna, which was nice.
I believe I will return to this hotel if and when I travel to Oulu, but not because of the rooms. Instead, the ground floor lobby is open from early morning to late night, offering free coffee, tea, biscuits, donuts and suchlike to customers/guests. You can also sit in the lobby, which is calm and quiet during daytime, and work on whatever (silent) thing you are working at, and drink as much coffee/tea with nibble as you want. Also, the breakfast is better than in most Finnish hotels of the same price range, and it is included in the room price.
To add to this, the hotel staff is very hands-on, friendly and helpful. When they move around among the guests (like in the breakfast room) they wear masks. Hand sanitizer is available on many spots. And finally, the location is perfect: one minute's short walk from the railway/bus station, and couple of minutes' walk from Oulu's central attractions and shopping areas. The hotel itself doesn't have a restaurant, but there are several very good restaurants just around the corner. Apollo might look a bit worn from the outside, but it's clean inside, and not the least a fleabag. Luxurious it is not, but definitely worth a recommendation.

The hotel had a good location in the vicinity of the city centre, with free parking and easy access for those arriving by car. The room itself was very inviting, displaying the splendor of the past with quality furniture and well-composed décor. The breakfast was decent with a variety of warm dishes and cold cuts.
The bathroom was visually worn and in need of refurbishing, but otherwise sizeable. The most annoying aspect was the sofa, which was very uncomfortable to sit in and influenced the impression of the comfort of the room.

This Best Western hotel has a nice location close to the railway station. The rooms are OK as well as the bathrooms with nice shower space. Some rooms have an inbuilt sauna. The general look was clean, but walking barefoot in the room was revealing the floor was not that clean. Anyway, you get enough for the price. The hotel has own small parking space, wifi and restaurant. Free coffee and sweet bread is offered for the guests in the evenings at the restaurant. The breakfast is nice, but if you enter the last hour, there might be not everything available any more. The staff is excellent.
When choosing the room, over the karaoke bar will not be the best choise.

Hotel's Favourite
This best western has a fantastic location- 2 short blocks from the train station and an easy walk to the center of town. The room was small and the bathroom too but the location and fantastic breakfast more than made up for it. The staff went out of their way to be helpful

Great position near the city centre, clean rooms (some of them have a little sauna inside) and they also have a wide choice of foods for breakfast. But the best thing was the excellent staff! The receptionist in particular was very kind and friendly, he suggested us what are the typical foods to eat and gave us good advices to spot the northern light!! I recommended it

Branded as Best Western, Hotel Apollo is not one of their finest.
Elevator goes to 4th floor. If you have a room on 5th floor you go the last floor by stairs.
On the 5th floor you also have the "joy" of the sloping roof.
Some rooms are VERY small at 9 m2 - but you pay the same price as for a "normal size" room.
Room 506 is one of the small rooms and with the sloping roof on 2 sides - see picture. Try to avoid this.
The hotel as a whole could do with an upgrade and new furniture.
Service is good.
Breakfast is around average, with self cleanup.

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!).

I was amazed by the food service at this hotel. You can enjoy wonderful breakfast, and the pasty and all sorts of tea (and also coffee) are available 24/7. Our flight left very early in the morning, so we had to check out the hotel hours before breakfast was served. The hotel staff prepared breakfast sandwiches for us around around 4am, plus some other snack and drinks. All these wonderful services were free of charge. We appreciated the hotel service very much!

Hotel Apollo is a convenient hotel if you travel with train to Oulu. Already when you step out of the hotel you can see the railway station, which are only a few minutes away. Friendly staff. I could check in much earlier than usual. Plentiful and varied buffet breakfast. Nice atmosphere.

Stayed two nights due visit at the Oulu theatre. A small hotel, excellent value for money. If you look foor fancy rooms and red carpets, this hotel is not for you. If you look for a hotel just to stay one or two days in an inexpensive little hotel, consider this. Or, they do have bigger rooms, stayed in a standard room. A tiny room and a tiny bath room, but everything clean, the personnel was so truly friendly and ready to help you, the complimentary coffee /tea buffet all day long, with even some small pastries. The breakfast was even good,
