Scandic Go, Gasverksgatan 11

A reliable hotel a little way from the centre, with service and rooms that feel like a proper four-star stay. The rooms are elegant and fairly roomy, though there’s very little furniture, and the bathrooms are in excellent condition. Room cleaning is the one drawback. Like other hotels in Sweden, they often reduce room service for environmental reasons, though you can ask reception to have your room cleaned. There’s no voucher in return, unlike at many hotels in the United States where you can get one to spend inside the hotel.

The reception team were welcoming and helpful, but the room was so cold that I slept under two blankets. The TV didn’t work either. I stayed for three days.

I’ve stayed here many times and it has never let me down. The service is excellent, and the hotel is right by a square, within walking distance of Helsingborg Central Station. We’ve both started and finished the TOK - Swedish Edition cycling tour here, in 2024 and again in 2025.

My room had no windows or view, which was a shame. The hotel itself is spacious and comfortable, with a brilliant design, clean rooms, and friendly staff. The location is okay, too.
