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.

Stort sett fornøyd med oppholdet. Vi benyttet oss av treningssenteret og der var det vi trengte. Vi syns frokosten hadde litt lite å velge i og at anretningen ikke var så delikat.

Akkurat slik skal det være, men varmt.

Enkel og rask innsjekk, serviceinnstilt betjening under oppholdet, veldig fint og rent rom. Alle i familien var fornøyd, særlig de små som fikk køyeseng! Det eneste å trekke litt for, er det samme som hos mange andre hoteller : temperaturkontroll/Ventilasjon på rommet under varme forhold. Fryktelig varmt på rommet, men det gikk for en natt. Jeg betaler lett 500 kroner mer pr natt for ac.

Stort sett bra

God frokost, hyggelige folk og ryddig. Minus for dårlig logistikk med heis, så veldig mye ventetid i alle heiser. Måtte bære barnevogner og kofferter både opp og ned trapper..

Mycket bra

Mycket bra, fräscht rum, bra bemötande och stor god frukost. Det enda var väl att det var väldigt mycket folk på frukosten från när de öppnade tills de stängde. Men det var mitt i semestertid så full förståelse för det.
