I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel for a number of nights and it was great. A nicely appointed and spacious room and bathroom with underfloor heating. You could open the window which was pleasant, and the soundproofing between rooms seemed very good. There was the national strike on at the time of my stay, so can't comment on daily housekeeping but would assume it'd be good based on the rest of the hotel. The location is super handy as CC Hamar is just across the road, there is few coffee for guests in the lobby, and a short stroll to the train station and central Hamar and the wonderful lakeside walks. Definitely recommend and all the staff, despite the national strike, were lovely and helpful.

The Scandic Hamar is a very clean hotel and they offer a good breakfast buffet. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well appointed. What was not so good was the staff and their attitude toward guests. They were not friendly, did not smile or offer a welcoming word. In most interactions, they seemed almost annoyed to be bothered by have to check in guests, answer questions or service the breakfast buffet. I could chalk this up to the standoff-ish Norwegian personality, but even so, they should think about how they treat guests from outside Norway.

Breakfast included a lot and that was great as we are vegetarians and vegans in our family. A not on Hamar as a city - don’t trust google to find restaurants that are opened. Actually found two who had been terminated long ago.
