We made a mess of our booking and arrive one day early. Receptionist was excellent and very accommodating. Hotel is very close to the railway station and centre of the town. Staff very pleasant. First class buffet breakfast to suit all tastes. Would happily stay there again

Wheelchair user in manual WC, no problems getting around thanks to 2 lifts. This funky hotel has lots of stairs but it's not a problem.

Great location and the (typically small Norwegian) rooms were comfortable and cozy. A lot of painting and decorating in the common areas so breakfast served at a nearby hotel. All good, price was right.

Dated (a bit tired), but clean and comfortable.
I have stayed here before. It’s really close and convenient for the station.
It’s nice not to be in a big chain. The hotel is rather dated and tired, but the beds are comfortable, and it’s really clean.
The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is good.
As I said, I’ve stated before and would definitely stay again.

Property was under construction during our stay. Didn't really affect us much. We had to walk down the street for our breakfast. The breakfast was AMAZING!! So many gluten free and vegan options. Missing the waffles already. The staff were super friendly.

It’s located in a centralized location near the pedestrian street with many shops and restaurants. Free parking is provided. The room is the tiniest we’ve encountered on our more than 2 week visit in Norway, therefore, difficult in which to maneuver. It was also very warm with the sun shining brightly inside it. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. I would stay here again.

Et helt OK hotell som er svært sentrumsnært. Overraskende rolig til å være såpass sentralt. Enkel innsjekk og utsjekk. Fin frokost med godt utvalg, men synes det er litt rart å ikke ha G35-brunost på frokosten i Lillehammer! Rommet var rent og stort. Litt hardere seng enn hva vi er vant med fra hotell. Greit bad.
Service'n er grei, men samtidig litt under hva vi forventer - synes det er hyggelig med frokostpersonale som sier "god morgen" eller går rundt med kaffekanna på morningen. Servicen i resepsjonen er også OK, litt under hva vi forventer i forhold til pris.

Die Unterkunft hatte einen für uns typischen skandinavischen Charm. Das Design war Vintage, aber nicht altbacken. Unser Zimmer war schön, geräumig und ruhig. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und im schönen Ambiente.
