The Scandic Hamar is a very clean hotel and they offer a good breakfast buffet. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well appointed. What was not so good was the staff and their attitude toward guests. They were not friendly, did not smile or offer a welcoming word. In most interactions, they seemed almost annoyed to be bothered by have to check in guests, answer questions or service the breakfast buffet. I could chalk this up to the standoff-ish Norwegian personality, but even so, they should think about how they treat guests from outside Norway.

Breakfast included a lot and that was great as we are vegetarians and vegans in our family.
A not on Hamar as a city - don’t trust google to find restaurants that are opened. Actually found two who had been terminated long ago.

Flekker på laken og putetrekk.
Parkering: kjørte fra parkeringa en times tid for så å parkere på nytt. Ble belastet for to døgns parkering, over kr.200 totalt. Apcoa flow.

Bra opphold
Supert at det lot seg gjøre at vi fikk låne "stuen" bak og koble oss til TVen, så vi fikk sett hockeykamp.
Hotellrommene var for varme og det ble veldig dårlig luft i løpet av natta. Ellers kjempefornøyde
