This hotel is a great value with very friendly and helpful staff. It's right across the street from the train and bus station, which is the best transportation to use to get to Lillehammer from Oslo or Trondheim, etc. There's a great free breakfast in the morning with lots of choices. Jan, at the front desk, was incredibly helpful in... More

Got a good deal on this hotel for 2 rooms over Easter. It's a little tired, and could do with a freshen up but the rooms are plenty big enough, the bathroom was clean and supplied toiletries were nice. Breakfast was fantastic value. Service was great -staff were really friendly

We spent in Lillehammer 2 weeks. I had tried to be very careful searching the hotel for this vacation as we traveled with a child 6 years old. We were really impressed by two things (it’s besides of hospitality of the stuff on the reception. About it later): the design of the room and breakfasts. First of all about the... More

Dirty room, needs renovation. The dirt hung down from the bathroom roof, caused from lacking ventilation. Poorest room I´ve seen. The beds were clean and breakfast ok. Location is practical- close to the railway station.

Good location, friendly staff and a very good breakfast. But that's about it. The room facing the train and bus station was extremely small. The walls really needed a paint job and the shower curtain smelled bad. Unfortunatelly the hotel was full, so upgrading or having another room was impossible. Noise from next door neighbours and hallway in the middle... More

We were very dissapointed with the "quality" of our rooms in relationship to how very expensive the rooms were. Our double room was 1399 kr.roughly 240.00 U.S.dollars. Outside the hotel hung a large banner " We offer low prices"...this was not true! The room was old, worn out, not as clean as it could be.... and there were no extras... More

Maybe I thought Lillehammer would have quaint inns and hotels with that charming touch of Norway...this place clearly missed it. Nice entrance and friendly reception area; good location for walking about on foot to see the area. The room - first, bath was out-dated with a very awkward tub. Overall room ceiling had stains and lines of past neglect. The... More

We had the standard room and it was ok, but clean and the beds were fantastic to lay in. But what made the hotel special was the very friendly and helpful staff.

Good rooms, quiet, top service and excellent breakfast. My company uses this hotel as our accommodation provider for our international project partner guests when they are in town. It is situated very close to the railway station and is in the very middle of the city center. Free parking and WLAN for guests. Breakfast included in room price.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
First Hotel Breiseth, established in 1898, is one of the oldest hotels in Lillehammer. At the time of its opening, it was considered the most fashionable hotel in town. During its first 40 years of operation the hotel was very popular among a group of artist. Cash was not always forthcoming, and as a result the hotel received a number of paintings still decorating its walls. As a guest at our hotel you will be within walking distance of attractions like Maihaugen, Lillehammer art museum, the pedestrian precinct Gagata, several restaurants and a range of activities. Ski bus to Hafjell departs close to the hotel. ... more   less
