Clarion Collection® Hotel Hammer

We were completely pleased with this hotel: friendly staff, decent meals, nicely done up rooms and all this in the middle of a lively and picturesque little town with a lot to see. Highly recommended.

Booked a few weeks ahead via booking.com Spacious comfortable room with modern en-suite and good shower. Hairdryer, iron, TV (with Sky Sports News in English), but no kettle or coffee making facilities. Plenty hand sanitizer in public areas. Unfortunately sauna/gym closed due to corona virus. Dining area near reception .. have to choose time for breakfast in advance. Fantastic breakfast buffet, large selection of continental and cooked options, also gluten-free choices. Dinner included - soup, salad, hot choice each night. Limited gluten-free options but salads nice. No dessert included but could be bought as extra. Water/tea/coffee included. Great central location on main shopping street Storgata. A good choice for a hotel in central Lillehammer.

peak season but got a very cheap room and was surprised when we checked in that breakfast and dinner is included 😄 location is very central, parking options privately or by the municipality but weekend is free so got our car parked right in front of the hotel which is municipal owned so everything was perfect. relaxed ambiance. mini library with balconies was a little extra nice feel :) room is modern and everything is new. nothing to complain about...

Had a awesome room, fantastic big bathroom with shower and bath tube. Great evening meal, miss some dessert. Did not like people can smoke everwhere outside, did not like people walk with dog inside the hotel, have allergy. Great friendly staff, where is the evening fire. Hope gym open soon.

Hotel is in a great location near everything in town and five minutes from train station. When entering hotel there is sanitary station to clean your hands, staff very friendly at desk checking us in, gave us a document about guidelines to do with COVID-19. When we got to our room, it’s was spotless clean. My husband noticed a sign at reception to state we need to book a time slot for breakfast buffet for the next morning, as we were leaving for dinner we ask at reception giving the time we would like to have breakfast at! Next morning we arrive at the buffet to see no staff managing the queues or asking people what slots they have book there was an area were we could sanitary our hands at less but the dining room was very cowered, there was no social distance at all, there was no one meter queue for the food and it was a free for all with people bumping into each other to get their breakfast. As I set down I noticed a member of staff clearing a table but not wiping it down with any disinfect or even with a cloth! My husband noticed as he was trying to get food and trying his best to keep distance from people, staff were having the same problem trying to get food out and clean stock! Our second morning was even worst when we saw high number of people and every second table dirty with no staff members at all cleaning or even paying attention to the number of people in the dining area, we decided we were better headed into town for breakfast. There wasn’t enough staff to help make sure all guidelines were be follow, managers really should look into this as it a high concern for staff and guest health!
