Stay at Hamar Vandrerhjem Vikingskipet when you travel to beautiful Lake Mjøsa. This 2 star Norway guest house offers modern guest rooms and great amenities in the town of Hamar, in close proximity to the indoor speed skating rink called the Vikingskipet (Viking Ship), built for the 1994 Winter Olympics. Hamar Vandrerhjem Vikingskipet is a friendly, informal accommodation that is a member of Norske Vandrerhjem / Hostelling International. Within the large, modern lodge are meeting rooms and conference facilities suitable for groups of various sizes. A bistro called Ny & Ne Spiseri serves breakfast, lunch, and pizza for dinner. There’s also a communal kitchen where guests can prepare meals for themselves. Wireless internet access and a continental breakfast are included in the room rates. Near the shores of Lake Mjøsa, the guest house is close to Akersvika, a nature reserve known for its wonderful birdlife. Hamar Vandrerhjem Vikingskipet is approx. 2.1 km/1.3 miles from the centre of town, a pedestrian walkway that connects 2 main squares called Stortorget (the Big Square) and Østre Torg (the Eastern Square). Along the lakeshore to the west is the Hedmark Museum, a major Hamar attraction also called the Domkirkeodden, or cathedral promontory. The remains of a medieval cathedral are enclosed in a monumental glass structure; the complex also includes an ethnological museum, photography collections, and an active archeological site. For recreation, head to the Ankerskogen swimming hall (Ankerskogen svømmehall), which has saunas, a hot tub, a children’s pool, and one of the largest swimming pools in Norway.
