Hamar Olympiske Anlegg

Beautiful large property and grounds. Definitely surprised to find out that it’s only accessible by ferry! No cars on the island. A beautiful shuttle drive from the ferry landing to the hotel. There is no peaceful view of the water from the hotel, as pictured. In it’s prime it was quite the destination.

Apartment was spacious, had a kitchen and clothes washer/dryer. It is only 1 km from the city centre. There is a bus no 37 that leaves from the front of the hotel and arrives at central station in two stops. To get there from the airport, catch a train to central station then bus 37 to the hotel. There are shops and middle eastern restaurants close by. You need to know the exact address of the hotel in order to find it because there is only a small sign on a door facing the street

This hotel is mix of old and new. Old building and rooms using new app based interactions for check-in and other stuff. App is convenient but does not work most of the time. Have to read and follow all the instructions. No one there to help during off hours. Building is run down and needs cleaning, change of carpet. Staff is very limited but friendly. Rooms are quite and have all the needed amenities.
