Hi 

Anyone climbed ice around Lillehammer and know of any cheapish self catering accommodation for 2 persons?

Your best/cheapest bet will probably be an apartment at Lillehammer camping which is 450kr per night for a 3 bed setup (different options available) with bathroom.

Basic kitchen set up but campsite apartments and huts are our go to for weekends away on ice. If you want more luxury than that then you'll be looking at airbnb or a hotel.

There is plenty ice scattered around what you might call Lillehammer Valley stretching all the way up beyond Ringebu , but it's not concentrated like at Rjukan, so expect to drive, trudge or ski a little, there is some relatively road side, but you need to consider descent too. 

Define cheap... cabin hire is cheap (under £100/night), but you're late to the party and most will be booked up. Who'd go to the alps to ski, currently Hafjell has 70cm snow on the hill,  40cm valley bottom. Avoid the 3 week window over half term as your accommodation options will be even less. For example

Sjusjøen, above lillehammer with masses of cabins, no doorstep ice but arguably one of best nordic ski trail networks in the world. 

The club did have a pdf to download (years ago), now they appear to sell it.. https://www.lillehammerklatreklubb.no/Isklatring  but the link didn't work. I can't find the old pdf, but somebody else here might be able to send you it.

Gosh, it's been a while but I remember just following a river up through the town or near the town and climbing a series of step!  We also went a bit further north along the main road and climbed near Otta.  

Sorry, not much use.
