Scandic Helsfyr

Contemporary Hotel East of Downtown

Easy Access to the Transit System

The Scandic Helsfyr Hotel offers a modern escape from the city, just east of downtown Oslo. While removed from the bustle of the city center, the nearby underground transit station allows quick access to the city's top attractions. Found along the E6, the hotel is a quick drive to the Oslo Gardermoen Airport, and the express airport bus stop is a short walk away.  

Free Breakfast Starts the Day off Right

Start every weekday with a hearty breakfast at the free breakfast buffet. For lunch or dinner, enjoy a leisurely meal at the Intermezzo restaurant or grab a beer and a sandwich at the on-site Hov Inn pub. Unwind with friends or colleagues at Rhapsody, the cozy lobby bar. 

With on-site meeting and conference facilities, business travelers don't have to travel too far to get work done. Active travelers can keep their fitness routine on track with a quick trip to the hotel gym and sauna.

Exploring the city is easy. Take underground transit from Helsfyr station to downtown's Nationaltheatret station, just outside the Royal Palace. The total trip takes less than 20 minutes, and the subway runs every five minutes. In the city, browse in the shops along Karl Johans Gate or explore the waterfront walking trails. In the summer, join a guided tour of the Royal Palace. The National Gallery in downtown features the largest collection of paintings and sculptures in Norway, including Edvard Munch's The Scream.

Spacious and Modern Rooms

The rooms at Scandic Helsfyr feature comfortable furniture and modern, sleek bathrooms. The large, floor-to-ceiling windows fill the rooms with natural light and provide pleasant views of the surrounding area. Some rooms have warm hardwood flooring, while others feature cozy carpeting. No convenience is overlooked. Check your email on the free WiFi and catch-up on the news on the flat screen TV. Traveling with the kids? Book a room with a sofa bed.

The Bottom Line

For travelers who prefer to stay outside the city center but still want quick access to area attractions, Scandic Helsfyr is an ideal choice. Similar to Scandic Helsfyr, the Anker Hotel (also just outside the city center) offers a free buffet breakfast, free WiFi, a restaurant, and an on-site bar. However, the Anker Hotel is farther from public transit and does not have an on-site fitness center. Both the Scandic Helsfyr and Anker Hotel charge similar rooms rates.
