The good ones :
Great location in Lillehammers main pedestrian street
Free wifi working really well
Great breakfast
Good size of room (a double at the 4th floor)
Quiet room, despite beeing in a main street

The bad things:
Needs renovation - furniture, carpets aso show wear and tear
The bathroom didn`t look clean, but when having a closer look it was mainly caused by cracked tiles, crack in the bathtub.
Muggy old shower courtain

Everywhere you stay in Norway will seem expensive for what you get, and this hotel is no different. However, you couldn't have a better location downtown and the breakfast was really worth it, including make your own waffles. The room was the typical spare Nordic style without beauty (although I thought the curtains were pretty). The bathroom was clean. Free parking came with the room but it was a fight to get a spot because the hotel was full.

Hmm, yeah I might be a bit harsh, but seriously, the room I had was incredibly tiny... True it was cheap for Norway (110 Euros), but it does not make it acceptable.

Positive thing though... I had actually forgot some valuables in the room, the hotel called to confirm my address, and send them back to me. Very nice gesture for which I am thankful, but I would not have expected less of the staff. And it still does not make up for the tiny room...

Me and my two kids spent the christmas holiday on rica victoria. Also my mother, hers wheelchair bounded partner and my brother visited the hotel in the same time. We absolutely loved the whole atmosphere. Beautiful building, nice food, nice staff and the best general manager you could ask for.
