Very nice hotel in the center of Hamar. Public parking in a large lot across the street. Our room had a view of the lake. The room was nicely decorated with a desk and internet connection. Bathroom was small but nice. Breakfast was very good. Reception was friendly & helpful.

A mid-range hotel with a perfect location in central Hamar, less than 5 minutes walk from train. No reserved parking for hotel guests, but public parking available right across the street. Also a few shops, pubs and restaurants very close to the hotel. Room, a standard double, was clean and nice. View to the backyard was crap, all you see... More

I stayed in the First Victoria for four days in early May 2012. Reception is very small and not the kind of place you'd want to spend time relaxing and reading the papers. But Wifi in reception was very good and the staff were friendly and efficient. The room I stayed in was newly renovated and was nice. Although it... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night and choose this hotel based on price, since it was a bit cheaper than the other hotels in Hamar. Service was slightly unfriendly, but that was fast forgotten when we entered the room. Quite spacious, very good beds, great bathroom (with shower). Also the breakfast was stunningly delicious with freshly baked breads... More

....no facilities in the room such as a mini bar, coffee and tea, a drawer or a closet to hang your clothes in. Except for a tiny closet to put your jacket in. The restrooms by the reseption were extremely cold, so were our meeting rooms. We had to sit in the room with our winter jackets on. The breakfast... More

They are doing renovation to the hotel, its need for that! First I got a room that was not cleaned after the previous guest. That’s not very pleasant, you get a creepy feeling to see the used bed and wet towels all over. I got another room that was ok, but no switch for the lights in the entrance. The... More

First of all I have to mention that this hotel is being renovated, and that we stayed in the old rooms. These are soon to be history, and I hope the new rooms are nothing like them. Reception staff was friendly and the breakfast was nice, but the reception area and the hotel itself is not very appealing. Hallways are... More

I went to Hamar for a dance event. The organizer recommended the Victoria Hotel. After reading the Tripadvisor reports I was skeptic. The hotel is under renovation. There must therefore be nicer room. I was offered a single room up on the 6th floor. The lift was claustrophobic small, and there was hardly room for two people with luggage. The... More

Stayed for one night only. Very polite and nice young man in the reception, and that was it. After the noisy lift-doors had closed we could read a note saying this hotel was under rebuilding. Hopefully the hotel can give their guests a better experience next summer. First impression on 5th floor was the strange smell from the old carpets.... More

Stayed one night at this hotel. It was the smallest room I have ever had and I´ve travelled a lot. Apart from that the room was clean, but the pillow was very flat, ask for an extra! The room was refurbished, but the common areas were in need of an upgrade, which I believe they are. Breakfast was ok, nothing... More
