Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was great and loved the location near the ski jumps and soccer fields. It very much captured the Olympic vibe. Close to walking trails and to walk to town. The included breakfast was very good. It had a very nice lounge so you could relax outside your room. The shower, as in most of Norway, was small and leaked a bit.

During our stay, we loved the property and Lillehammer so much that we extended and stayed two days rather than one. Your front desk staff was special - both Metta and Patricia went above and beyond to help us get transportation, give advice on restaurants, and make sure we had everything we needed. They were friendly and accommodating. We also loved the location as being right in the heart of the Olympic village.

Great facade but room in terrible condition

Beautiful view and great are for hiking. Free parking and good breakfast! The room smelled of smoke and the bathroom of mold. Common area in great shape. Reconditioning long overdue for the room.

I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel for one night with my family, and it was a truly delightful experience. The room we stayed in was incredibly spacious, which was perfect for accommodating our two energetic kids. They absolutely loved it! The breakfast offered at the hotel was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist us with any inquiries or requests we had. Additionally, the hotel's location close to the center was convenient, and we discovered the fantastic Lillehammer Pizzeria just a short 5-minute drive away. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service, comfortable rooms, and convenient location.

Average but not more

A bit outdated and quite a bit from the city centre. Service okay, breakfast as well but not much to do in the area except walking trails and the Olympic Village/Park. No restaurants in the area - only breakfast at the hotel. 800 m downhill to the city centre and same back but uphill. Small rooms with bad ventilation.
