Oslo - Southern Norway Cheap Holidays

We had a very good stay at Scandic Helsfyr Hotel. The beds were large and extremely comfortable with great pillows and a cosy duvet. The staff kindly upgraded our room and left fruit, biscuits and cake after we mentioned it was our birthday, which was a lovely touch. The room was spacious and modern with floor to ceiling windows, one that opened for fresh air, nice artwork, soft lighting, a seating area, a large TV, safe, iron and mini fridge. Heating worked very well and the bathroom had underfloor heating. Bathroom amenities included shower gel, shampoo and a hairdryer. The hotel offers paid parking, a good restaurant serving a buffet breakfast and dinner, a bar, a small shop, luggage storage, communal areas and a small gym. Breakfast was reasonably priced at around £12. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is convenient with easy access to buses and the tube into Oslo city centre, and it is next to a football stadium. Overall the hotel offers very good value and we would stay again. For the negatives the bathroom felt outdated and looked dirty in some areas. The shower was small with very poor water pressure. The mini fridge was too small to store much. The TV had limited channels and Netflix and screen mirroring did not work. The corridors were dated, one lift was out of order and there is not much in the immediate area. There was also no proper wardrobe, only small hanging rails.

Staff were very friendly & the rooms were clean. If you're staying for a period of time get the breakfast option! This location is the smack dab in the middle of everything! If I'm ever going to oslo again. This is my hotel im going to keep on staying at.

We stayed in a large studio for 3 nights on the second floor. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean and accessible. Showers had good water pressure and ran hot, the bathroom was large enough to move around, had a fan, large windows, and closet space, and great L’occitaine amenities. The only minor thing would be the shower stall, it’s quite small, though common in Europe. The location is lovely, and walking around frogner is a visually stunning experience.

Nice casual hotel with great facilities and staff.
