Good location, close to the main motorways into Oslo and towards the airport. 30 minutes drive from the airport without the need driving downtown Oslo. Parking is easy. Decent restaurant for a business trip. Don't pick this hotel for the bar, its expensive (Norway!) and not very nice to sit. Free internet. Request a room in the renovated part of... More

Great service, nice area, great view, clean, nice rooms and an excellent breakfast. Modern hotel, just a few minutes with the tube to the center of Oslo. Room was very clean and the minibar fantastic. I will stay here for sure in the future....

I've stayed here numerous times during my business travel. The service is friendly and fast, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is good at least for my purposes (close to the metro and on the way with the air port bus). The breakfast is delicious and offers a wide variety of fruits, vegetables etc. One downside is thievery... More

Good hotel, near enough to the Oslo underground. Good restaurant but pricey and clean room. A notable bonus is the free wi-fi. Room should have had tea and coffee making facilities. All at a reasonable cost (for Oslo!). Of course, Oslo prices shock everyone outside Norway so be aware

Rica Helsfyr is conveniently located in midst of offices in the Helsfyr area. This location can't be recommended if you're looking for activities in the evening. There's nothing. But for those wanting an easy access to work or customer in the morning it's ideal. There's a tube/metro station within a walking distance. Oslo city is thus only some 15 minutes... More

Location is bad as it is a neighborhood with offices buildings and nothing more, but is perfect if you have to work in the area. Receptionist are great especially the night shift. Interiors: It is a perfect example of Scandinavian Frugal Style, so seems a bit overpriced to me. Easy to reach via car, underground is near and in 15minutes... More

This hotel was nice and comfortable, I was welcomed by a nice friendly man at the front desk late at night. The room was spacious and well equipped and the hotel was very reasonably priced.

The hotel is just off the motorway in the newly developed business park. The room that we got was well furnished and clean. We got the one facing the car park, therefore it was quiet and we could not hear any noise neither during the night or day. There are metro and bus stops within 5 minutes walk from the... More

Good hotel, over average. Very good breakfast. Staff helpful and polite, but not the night watch who was a sourpuss. Rooms good, but our view was over the motorway. Friends have had other rooms and have had a view over Oslo city.
