I stayed here for 2 days, had good breakfast, lunch and dinner both days.
They should have public computer free of charge, besides that everything was ok here.

Rica Hotel (Motel ?) in Hamar is small hotel located outside city. From main road E6 you must turn second road to Hamar on road number 222 (if I remember correct). It is about 5 km to centrum of city and about the same to train station (train station is located almost in the centrum). Room was small but clean, personel was nice.
I was also in Rica in Gardermoen and this one in Hamar looks like better.
I recomend this hotel if you travel by car and want to make small break and relax a little.

Stayed at this hotel as the hotels in the centre of Hamar were all fully booked. Rica is located in the middle of nowhere, and with taxi (NOK 150+ one way) as the only way to get into the centre.
Some of the rooms shows clearly that the last renovation was in the 1970. Like the brown/yellow tiles of the bathroom in my room in the second floor.The soft chair could have survied from the same period of time, it was very worn out The bed, however, was very comfortable, and sleep quality very good. And that`s probably the most important! Cleanliness was also fine. Free wifi
The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Breakfast great with a good selection of fruit in addtion to the normal breakfast fare. Could have been some more fat reduced procucts - "light" cheese, butter - but they might have provided it if I had asked.
The hotel has a pool, so if you find nothing else to do in the middle of nowhere, you can always swim.....

Me, my wife and our 2 year old kid lived here for two nights in May 2010.

The price was not low, but lower than you expect for the best hotels in Norway - which is no surprise, because this hotel is really not amongst the best hotels in Norway.

There is a free parking lot outside, but if the hotel is full - I can't believe there are enough place for all customer's cars there. From outside the hotel looks very old and worn. We checked in late (22:30), and we got very good service from the man in the reception. In the reception, the hotel looks a little bit better than from the outside.

The room was also very old and worn, and the bathroom was very small (there were no place to put a dressing case in there, and no place to leave the clothes when we showered.

The hotel is located far away from Hamar, so this hotel is best for people who are passing by and need a place to sleep for one night.

The best part of the hotel was the breakfast, which I would give the best possible rating.
