Hotels in Gjovik

For a taste of authentic Norwegian lake life, look to Gjovik on the shores of Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake. The city is famously home to the Gjovik Olympic Cavern Hall, a massive event space carved right into the mountain, which hosts everything from concerts to hockey games. Stroll along the harbor promenade for views of the water and the historic M/S Skibladner paddle steamer, or take a short drive to the Eiktunet open-air museum to see traditional farm buildings. It’s a relaxed base for hiking in the surrounding hills or setting out on a summer boat trip.

Gjovik suits travelers looking for a quieter, nature-focused stay with easy access to outdoor activities, making it a good pick for couples and families. The compact city center is the most convenient area to stay, putting you within walking distance of cafes, shops, and the lakefront. The city is well-connected by road and rail, with regular train services to Oslo and Lillehammer, making day trips straightforward.

Accommodation here is mostly practical and comfortable, dominated by reliable chain hotels and good-value guesthouses. On HOTEVI, you’ll find options like the modern Quality Hotel Strand, the waterfront Thon Hotel Gjovik, the budget-friendly Gjovik Camping for cabins, and the centrally located Gjovik Hotel.
