We stayed one night in this hotel. Its quite far from a city centre even for a bicycle ride. The room was spacious, even a bathtub can accommodate a couple at once. The thing I didn't like most was the fact that at the breakfast we faced with no vacant seats in restaurant because of several groups of German tourists. Maybe it's just a bad luck, who knows. I want to underline that the cards that are used as a key to the room are made of wood. It's not too common, but for Scandinavia "green solutions" are developing day by day.

We just spent the Christmas week in Helsingborg, to visit some family. We were 2 adults and 2 young children. The hotel itself is a bit outdated but still very ok. They are anyway planning to renovate in 2011. The facilities were extremely complete, with a high standard fitness room, an indoor swimming pool and separate saunas. The breakfast buffet was simply impressive in quality and quantity. The food in the restaurant was also great, with a nice buffet, next to the card, every night. Last but not least, the rooms were very functional and clean. Most importantly, the staff was amazing: always friendly, available, helpful, quick ... just perfect ! And all that for 90 Euro per night, per room, breakfast included. And 20% off on the food, if Scandic member.
I am travelling quite often with my job, in 4 or 5 stars hotel, such as Hilton, Sheraton, etc. around Europe, and I can tell you this 3 star Scandic hotel does have anything to envy to the luxiourous chains, to the contrary. And for that price, on top ! As I said, simply incredible ...

The Scandic Helsingborg Nord is nicely situated, if you come by car, on the northern entrance to Helsingborg. The hotel is not up to the normal standard of a Scandic hotel.

Reception: extremely helpful and service-minded staff. The helped me with all my small wishes with a smile on the face. Wonderful!

Rooms. decoration is outdated and the rooms are really run down. The floor in the bathroom were not clean and the shower was half way broken.

Breakfast: good and up to Scandic standards, even if the breakfast room is dark and run down.

WiFi: free internet that works very good like at all Scandic hotels.

Whilst not terrible per se this hotel needs serious updating. The "pool" is tiny-more like a spalsh pool and very deep-not good for children at all and at 24 degrees rathr chilly!! The sauna area was quite dated and although there was a sun bed it was only hidden by a rather shabby curtain. The mens and womens saunas are separate and although they arevery good saunas they are small and I would have liked to have been with my husband.
The rooms..again didn't cater for wanting o be with your husband as the beds were two single beds which would have been difficult to move together. And again the room was very dated, even though it had a wooden floor. The bathroom was functional with a shower and sink and toliet but again was dated.Apart from this the room contained a televison-with some good channels on, a desk and two rather old looking armchairs. The corridors with their dirty pink carpets were hideous, and the walls were rather thin,as we could hear people in the corridor outside the room.

The staff were okay. The restaurant was not great with little choice and again the decor.. The one reedeming factor was the amazing breakfast buffet, which is included in the price of the room. They supply everything, and I mean everything! From cereal to 20 different teas to bread to orange juice..eggs ..bacon..crackerbread..fruit..cheese..cold meats it's all there! And it is eat as much as you like. AS with most of sweden they also catered well with allergies,and you only have to ask for gluten free bread or for Soya milk, which was refreshing!
The situation of this hotel is just off a motaway, in a business park/industrial area. It's not pretty but it's not far to drive into Helsingborg, where I suspect there are better hotels.
SO to sum up, if you just want a cheap bed for the night with a breakfast that will fill you up for the day on your way to further up in sweden,this is your hotel.
