Quiet clean room with v. good shower pressure and temp. Very convenient to town and to end of Light Rail from airport. Very good breakfast. Staff all helpful and pleasant. Room lighting is a bit patchy, and T.V. had limited choice of chanels that worked. Other than breakfast we didn't use restaurant, and also gave gym a miss, so can't comment on those. Overall, very happy and would stay there again.

Hotel was in a great location walkable to the fish market, restaurants and the train station. Helpful staff and excellent breakfast. Small refrigerator in the room was a plus. On the negative side the rooms were very small, hot and the hotel is on a busy corner so too loud to open the windows at night.

The hotel is in very convenient place and the breakfast is so good. However, the room is very simple without landline phone. The wall is not noisy cancellation. I can heard snoring from next room and street noise. I consider this hotel is two stars.

Good location but on a noisy street, with insufficient window insulation. The shower room was in poor condition, the drain of the sink was blocked during our two-night stay and it has been impossible to get a plumber to fix it. The staff at the reception was very nice, but helpless. Will never come back to Scandic Bypassen. A week after, we were at Scandic Torget, the experience has been way better there.

Breakfast was very good and staff was friendly. Right outside our window was an area with garbage bins which was very noisy until midnight. We weren’t able to crack the window open to cool the room off without being woken up multiple times due to banging, yelling and a very bright motion light. We are certain that rooms on the outer perimeter of the building that don’t have windows like ours would be much better to stay in. Half eaten food from the previous stay was also still in the fridge when we arrived.
