Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was spacious and more than sufficient for an overnight stay, although the bathroom felt disproportionately small. The hotel offers free access to the local gym, which is a nice perk. The room decor is old but well-maintained, adding a cozy feel to the stay.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Hamar, making it super convenient for exploring the town. The rooms, although slightly worn-out, provided a satisfactory stay, and the service was exceptionally friendly. The dining experience was a highlight, showcasing typical Norwegian dishes. The facilities offered met my expectations, ensuring a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were small and not very modern, lacking that cozy feeling, which might not be suitable for older guests like me. However, facing the streets made it feel a bit unsafe. On the bright side, the service was incredibly nice and helpful, going above and beyond to organize a birthday cake for my husband. The location was excellent, right in the center of Hamar, making it convenient for both exploring the city and accessing the train station. The dining experience was okay, nothing special, but the shareable appetizers were a nice touch.
