Lillehammer Vandrerhjem
HOSTEL
Nkr340/745/890/1200; )
If you've never stayed in a youth hostel, this one above the train station is the place to
break the habit of a lifetime. The rooms are simple but come with a bathroom, bed linen
and free wireless internet. There's a spick-and-span communal kitchen, but the downstairs
cafe is pretty terrible (hot-dog soup anyone?!). Free parking.

Jernbanegata 24; s/d with shared bath-
room Nkr395/690; )
Just above the centre of town, this friendly B&B has simple rooms with plenty of family
character in quiet surrounds. It's a well-run place and about as cheap as you'll get in Nor-
way. Breakfast is Nkr65. It's an equally short walk to both the town centre and the
Olympic sites.
Gjeste Bu
GUESTHOUSE
Nkr450-1200, apt Nkr640-1730; )
Part-hostel, part-guesthouse and with the feel of a mountain cabin, this friendly place has a
range of accommodation, shared kitchen facilities, and apartments that are ideal if you'll
be in town for a while. Breakfast costs extra, as does bed linen (Nkr60). If you understand
its pricing system, let us know.
