Norlandia Otta Hotel
Don’t be put off by the run-down 1980s exterior or that this place may be less personal than the other places; the rooms are large, comfortable and well-appointed.
Best Western Hotell Bondeheimen
This central hotel has attractive rooms and helpful staff. The older rooms (with 1980s Scandinavian pine-wood furniture) are slowly being renovated and all are highly recommended.
Mølla Hotell
Built from the shell of an old mill, this fully refurbished hotel is one of Lillehammer’s more original hotels, with mill machinery existing alongside flat-screen TVs. The rooftop bar has fine views and the architecture is distinguished.
Radisson Blu Hotel Nydalen, Oslo

P Hotels Trondheim
This slick, modern hotel, part of an expanding Norwegian minichain, has 49 spruce rooms, each with beverage-making kit, that speak of good Scandinavian style. Someone pads by in the early morning and hangs your breakfast bag on the door.

Myhregaarden Hotel
One of Stavanger’s most stylish hotels.

Grande Fjord Hotel
This warmly recommended 48-room hotel does great buffet breakfasts and dinners. It’s well worth paying an extra Nkr100 for a room with a balcony and magnificent view over the fjord...
Skansen Hotel
This centrally located place, opposite the old customs house, has a more personal feel to it than Stavanger’s larger hotels...
Birkebeineren Hotel & Apartments

Stryn Hotell
Stryn Hotel, in town and overlooking the fjord, is a decent hotel with a good restaurant.
