Very limited breakfast. Warm food was ok, but cold buffet very limited.
Scandic Helsfyr is an excellent hotel with great value for money. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the amenities were exactly what we needed for a pleasant stay. The staff was friendly, helpful and professional from check-in to check-out.
The location is also very convenient, with easy access to public transportation and the main areas of the city.
Overall, a great experience. I definitely recommend this hotel.
nice place, lovely breakfast and helpful staff. I would try to improve the restaurant menu though, 3 options is not a lot... burger or fish.... although the burger was very nice!
Immaculately clean, very comfortable beds and amazing breakfast.

The room is big but a bit rundown. Bathroom looks old and very used, windows handle abit broken, no view, and wires of tv and fridge on the floor. And one important thing, the room door does not lock, without passing again with the room rfid card.
