My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was central and convenient for exploring the city, with various eateries and shops nearby. The room had a nice balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, but the lack of air conditioning in some parts was disappointing. The service was friendly and helpful, making my experience more enjoyable. The dining options offered a decent selection, although the quality was average. Overall, a stay with ups and downs but decent value for the price paid.

I stayed in a room on the second floor with a balcony that overlooked the inner courtyard. The room had three single beds, but I noticed a difference between the photos shown and the actual tired, concrete block feel in some areas without air conditioning.

My stay at the hotel felt like a trip back to 1994 Lillehammer Olympics. The room was massive, probably the largest for two people I've ever had. It faced the railway station and got pretty hot, but it was charming with its old-style furniture and even had a balcony. The service was efficient and friendly, with the staff recommending a nice local restaurant. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from downtown Lillehammer and close to great cross-country skiing spots in the mountains. The dining experience was impressive with a wide range of cooked and cold foods. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor issues to note.
