The events organised by the staff - you won't get bored!

This is an excellent choice if you are using the train to get to Lillehamer and as your base for exploring the area. Buses stop outside to go to various ski/ hiking centres and the town centre is right there for restaurants and shopping. The included hot breakfast has lots of choice and my room was comfortable and quiet. The staff couldn't be more friendly and the tourist office in the station was very helpful. Great for arriving late or departing on an early train. There are lockers in the station, so on the final day, I was able to store my stuff in the morning, ski all day, then take a late train back to Oslo. If using buses to get to ski or hiking areas, download the Entur app for info and tickets. If over 67, it's half price. I found the staff, equipment and facilities at Nordseter Fjellpark Servicesenter located at the last stop on the Nordseter bus route, about 25 minutes ride, to be excellent and the nordic skiing from there is great.

Convenience - Hostel is part of the main station building. Breakfast - self-service with plenty of options.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. They let us check in early and even stored our bags for us. The location was great because it is right there in the train station. A nice breakfast spread as well.

I felt like maybe it was a little expensive for what the room was, however, the friendliness of the staff made up for what the room lacked.

Hotel is in train and bus station so it was very convenient with luggages and to take buses till ski resorts. Staff and volunteers were very friendly.!

Great location, comfortable beds, good value for money, nice to have a kitchen available.

The art behind the bed was a bit intense.

The room was clean and nice considering the price. Location is just at the train station, pretty much same building and just a few minutes walk from the city centre. The only con I had when staying there is that they don't have night open reception (staff is on site, but on sleeping shift) and I had a bit trouble finding where to enter the building when coming back at night.

hostel

not the building advertised it’s in the middle of the station as all things in Norway super super expensive for what you get

proximity to train and buses was fantastic!

no complaints!

Right at train station. Allowed us to assemble items for our morning breakfast after we checked it. We had to do so because our train would be leaving before the Resturant was open. They also provided us with a key to pass thru the building to get to the train, again because the first floor of the hotel was locked down tight. No in or out until they opened later in the morning.

Really just a youth hostel left over from the Winter Olympics years ago. Bunk beds, common bath room, poor location signage. Took much to long to find out where and how to check in. Getting checked out in AM was a zoo, see note above.

location and price cannot be beat!

The bed was super uncomfortable!

The friendliness of the staff.

Unfortunately I got bedbugs, but hotel was very nice about it when I called them.

Breakfast was good, location is on the central stations, but you actually don't hear anything. the stuff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful (this is really worth mentioning). That girl there left her post in the reception, and went out to the street with us, to show us how exactly the parking works and where should we move our car to from the place we originally parked.

The safety banister in the upper bed of the 2 story bed, had fell in the middle of the night. Nothing critical,but I guess it's worth fixing.
