Great Hotel in a Perfect Location
Pros:

Hotel was clean and cozy. The rooms are a little on the smaller side but that was expected. The daily breakfast spread had so many options to choose from. Great experience overall.

Jedesmal wieder gerne.
Pros:

Frühstücksbuffet ist sehtr reichhaltig, mit typisch regionalen Produkten. Eine Köchin sorgt für ständigen Nachschub an u.a. frischen Spiegeleiern.
Gepäckaufbewahrung während einer mehrtägigen Tour war ger kein Problem, sehr freundlich!

Comfortable and convenient with a good breakfast

Pros:

Et helt greit hotell sentralt i Lillehammer. Veldig bra frokost.

Cons:

Litt usikkerhet rundt parkering. "Gratis hvis det er ledig" er ikke forutsigbart nok.

Séjour parfait, nous recommandons vivement !
Pros:

Tout était parfait ! Un grand merci à toute l'équipe de l'hôtel pour la qualité de l'accueil.
Nous avons tout apprécié : le confort des chambres, les facilités dans les parties communes et le petit déjeuner.
Sans parler de la communication avec l'hôtel qui a éte très facile et très agréable, aussi bien lors de la réservation que durant notre séjour.
Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

If I ever need to stay there again, I will specifically request kindly to have the radiator fixed.
Pros:

Clean, great location for my needs, pretty coffee room, very kind staff. Available coffee all the time. Great view from the breakfast room. Very stylish hotel, indeed.

Cons:

Too expensive (MGP day) with too little extras, like toiletries. The radiator wasn’t working, although I pressed the ON button, and it remained cold. The room was cold for me.
No towel for the bath floor.
It would be more convenient if the WiFi details were available in the rooms, not only at the reception.

Séjour courte avec ski à Hafjell et chien traineau avec Sjusjoen Huskeytours
Pros:

Chambre sympathique et bien décoré.
Le petit déjeuner avec gaufre et préparé avec soin.
Le lait d'avoine pour le café pour ceux qui ont des intolérances/allergies.
La distance très proche du gare/stationnement des bus pour les sorties.
Le salon très agréable pour attendre le trajets.

Cons:

Le sous sol, ou se situe le sauna est assez démodé, mais ce ne fait rien, car la salle de sport et le sauna était rénové. Le sol dans l'espace pour le bagage a rayé nos valises quand on a refait le bagage, mais ceci est aussi un détail.

Pros:

Great location close to the train station and the main shopping street. Very comfy beds and good breakfast. Very nice staff at the reception, allowing us a late check-out and smilingly helping us change to a larger room when we arrived at a small cost.
