Great location and the (typically small Norwegian) rooms were comfortable and cozy. A lot of painting and decorating in the common areas so breakfast served at a nearby hotel. All good, price was right.

Our first room smelled like men's cologne so we asked for new room and it was much better. Parking was convenient, breakfast buffet was very good. Beds were very comfortable.

It’s located in a centralized location near the pedestrian street with many shops and restaurants. Free parking is provided. The room is the tiniest we’ve encountered on our more than 2 week visit in Norway, therefore, difficult in which to maneuver. It was also very warm with the sun shining brightly inside it. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. I would stay here again.

Great staff, great location, but super loud at night. No AC so it’s too hot to close the windows.

Måtte gå til et annet hotell for frokost på grunn av opp-pussing av hotellet. Var ingen forhåndsvarsling om dette i bestillingen. Sentralt og ellers greit hotell, slitt hotell så opp-pussing trengs. Kjempefint rom, og comfortabel seng.

Piping fra rørene til tider, ellers godt fornøyd!
Jeg hadde et fint opphold på Breiseth Lillehammer! Lett å finne frem, gode senger og hyggelig personale.
Eneste problemet var at det flere ganger kom en høy og pipete lyd fra rørene på badet (sikkert når folk dusjer), men dette blir muligens fikset i forbindelse med oppussingen på hotellet.
Totalt sett godt fornøyd!

Grei overnatting i Lillehammer
Helt greit hotel men grunnet oppussing var det lite service på hotellet. Frokost måtte spises på annet hotel

Fantastisk hyggeligt hotel og meget venligt pers.
Meget venligt personale. Under den ombygning, så du må forvente lidt støj af og til. Morgenmadslokalet var lukket pga. ombygningen, så man skal ud og hå en kort tur, for at få morgenmad.
