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.

the location is great near shopping centre and walkable to the main town by the waterside. staff are friendly and helpful. breakfast was excellent too. downside was room lacks of basic facilities like kettle and no telephone to contact reception if you need something. also no free park on site but was easy enough to park and pay. good for an overnight stay.

Very expensive bar price. 156 nok for a 33cl beer ! Top b/fast.

Hotel is quite new and always very clean. Staff is amazing and very polite. Just a couple of things I faced: 1. The rooms are tiny and have little to no amenities (not even a phone to call reception) and 2.The front desk person didn't want to exchange USD for local currency with no reasonable explanation. This was very inconvenient and disappointing.

Lovely stay! Missed having a fridge & a safe in the room. No tea & coffee in the room only in reception area but have had these in previous Scandic hotels. Room very clean & breakfast good.

great breakfast

Fint hotell, god frokost. Personalet er lite serviceinnstilte. Hotellet har i utgansgspunktet sen innsjekk, kl 1600. Da vi kom 45min tidligere for å høre om rommet kanskje var klart og om vi kunne sjekke inn for å legge fra oss bagasje, fikk vi beskjed om at rommet var klart, men at vi måtte betale for tidlig innsjekk. 250,- for å sjekke inn 45min tidligere for et rom som sto klart å ventet!

:D

Bra mat i resturangen
