Hotels Near Solsiden in Trondheim

The hotel is in Trondheim Central Railway Station, next to the bus station, there is a direct bus to the airport, the transportation is very convenient. The hotel's front desk service is superb and the breakfast is superb.

A proper 5 star hotel in Trondheim! Even though we are from Trondheim ourselves we decided to spoil ourselves in a luxury stay at Britannia. We booked a Deluxe Room which is more than large enough for two people. The room included a seating area and table, as well as a desk. Where other hotels tend to save money on building their bathrooms ”institution style”, that is definitely not the case here. It was the nicest and most comfortable hotel bathroom I have ever seen. A couple of observations you might find useful: - Room service is open throughout the night, which means you can always get food without having to leave the hotel at any time of the day (and night). Perfect if you arrive late. - Room service is blistering fast. Food arrived within 20 minutes from us ordering and the food was excellent. - Housekeeping does a extra round in the early evening to prepare the room for the night. We were so pleasantly surprised about this when we came back to the room and found it all tidy. New towels, bed made up ready for sleep, new water bottles and of course chocolate. They had even put a dust cap on my half full glass of juice. A very nice touch! - Entrance to the spa is included. We went there on a Saturday afternoon and it was too crowded for our taste. Try visiting during off-hours. A number of different treatments can be booked too, but we did not try those. - Breakfast is served in the iconic Palmehaven where you can order from the menu, eat from the buffet or do like us: both. All is included in the room fee. You can order breakfast to your room but I would strongly advise to at least go to Palmehaven once. Our stay was overwhelmingly positive, but there are two negatives I want to remark at the end of this review. - We had arranged a few items (strawberrys, sweets and drinks) to be ready at our room on arrival. These were not there when we arrived, so we had to call the receiption to sort it out. They were quick to bring it to our room - but as I had ordered it as a surprise it wasn't quite the same. - The waiter at one of the hotel restaurants, Jonathan Grill, didn't know the difference between tenderloin and entrecote. When he brought the meat to our table he kept insisting that the entrecote was the tenderloin, while it obviously wasn't. In the end we just ”agreed with him” and swapped plates between us so that I got the entrecote I had ordered and my girlfriend got her tenderloin. I would expect that any waiter at a steakhouse, at least at a 5 star hotel, to be able to spot the difference.

The hotel does not have a reception and the check-in process is done with a key code being texted just prior to check-in. We advised at time of booking that we would not have roaming and asked for the code to be emailed but that did not work. So we had to phone on arrival and give new details and then wait for codes to be sent. Very frustrating and we were not the only ones. There was another couple having the same experience so it is clearly not an isolated incident. The room itself is modern, clean and comfortable however we were there in summer and it was quite warm. On various booking sites the hotel is advertised as providing ”air conditioned accommodation”. It does not. There is a ventilation system in place which I gather does something in winter but it is not an air conditioning. We had a street facing room and so could not open the window for ventilation because of street noise so it was a stuffy and uncomfortable night. The ultimate question for me with this hotel is would I stay here again and the answer to that is an unequivocal no. Call me old fashioned but this being my first experience with a ”reception free” hotel I would not do it again. No one to talk to on arrival, no one to give directions, no one to ask where to catch the bus, no area to sit and wait, no place to leave suitcases after check out. Not for me.

We were given a disgusting room that had not been washed by by the staff. (Depicted in the photos) Also in mind the current covid-19 situation, these kind of sloppiness isn’t safe for costumers when you find something that can resemblance human liquids on the wall. When we informed the staff about the issues, who had already been snide from the start, we were met with little willingness to cooperate. After not wanting to join us upstairs or see the photos we had taken, the owner immediately comes and shouts at us. He says that we’re not welcome to stay there if we have any comments about how they run their business, so we can leave immediately and find a new hotel in town. Plowing our luggage trough the snow with no help of fetching a cab for us, we eventually find a nice hotell in the same price range with a much more nice approach to our situation. We spend a lot of time of our stay on this, something that should not have been necessary. Steer clear of this hotel, unprofessional and crummy from beginning to end. Don't think these will be running any new hotels in the near future.

Breakfast is superb, the room is comfortable on the 6th floor, you can see the mountain, the facilities are complete, the location in the city center is very convenient, the city is very small, it is recommended to travel in 2 days, art students can see various libraries for free, there are two in the city. The restaurant tastes good, very calm and beautiful and small city

Very convenient for walking to to university, just 10 minutes. Ideal for transfers on the bus to the airport. Disappointing to find restaurant not open on the evening of Sunday 26 June. This after no inflight meals with SAS. The room was ok but the wardrobe hanging space is poor and there was no shelving in the shower room. On arrival there were towels missing in the shower room and no toilet rolls. The cleaning staff had left cleaning materials in the bedroom and it took 2 days for them to clean the tray of spilt sugar where the kettle was. The breakfast food is fairly typical but I was expecting a range of seafood. Only salmon was available. The staff were lovely. So overall pleasant but not exceptional.

I recently stayed with my family at Scandic Hell for one night at the end of my one week holiday in Norway. I had stayed at one of the Scandic hotels in Stavanger on my first night in Norway, and my experience was great. That is the reason why I decided to book Scandic Hell. However, it turned out to be a big mistake. The day I checked in happened to be one of the warmer days in a Norwegian July. The front desk staff gave us a room facing west, without AC. I only found out later that there are rooms with AC but I was not given the choice. They offered me a small fan (which means this is a common problem) but even after using it, it was impossibly hot due to the west sun, I went to talk to the front staff again to ask for a AC room,and it only then would they give one to me. The next morning, our flight was at 8am. Their full breakfast starts at 7am. And they also placed some simple cereals on the counter. We went down there early hoping the restaurant would open early. While waiting, my son took a yogurt from the counter and a few packs of cereals, because we were not sure whether we would have sufficient time to have the full breakfast. When the restaurant finally open and we were going to go in, the front desk staff came over and told us we could not eat at tte restaurant while having packed some cereals. He also used Norse to speak to the restaurant staff so she would watch us. I totally don’t understand this kind of rude behaviour. At the end we left without eating at the restaurant, I also wanted to post three postcards, and asked the same front desk person, and he said NO, only to be pointed out by his colleague that the cards already are stamped and it’s easy to send along with their posts. If someone is looking for an airport hotel, the SAS Blu is connected to the terminal which is much better. Scandic is 600 m from the airport but there is no side walks leading to the airport, unless you have a rental car.

We didn't realize that this hotel is literally in the airport, along with the typical airport noise and transient crowd. We mistakenly rented a car to begin a drive through Norway and upon exiting the parking garage, saw our hotel right by the exit. I pulled up to hotel and asked where we could park our hotel and I was told there was no parking, but instead we would have to go back into the airport and pay for overnight parking (if we had known, we wouldn't have rented the car until morning). At check-in, i realized that we intended to book the downtown Radisson. When i asked if we could transfer our reservation if they had rooms, we were told that if we did that we had passed the cancelation time at the airport hotel by 10 minutes and we would be charged an additional night there. The desk staff were young and inexperienced, but friendly. Our room was a typical cutout box with moderate amenities. As it turned out, breakfast was NOT included and overpriced, even by Scandinavian standards, but there are no options unless you want to walk into the airport and get fast-food. All in all, not an impressive hotel for service, but sound for business travelers in need of a place to stay adjacent to the airport.
