“Christmas in Hell aint that bad..... :-o”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Jokes aside.
Your typical Airport/Conference hotel.
Have stayed here 2 times now, both buisiness-events and only for the night.
I am a smoker and this hotel has smoker-rooms, which is fine by me.
Front-desk is very polite and professional. Facilities and rooms are ok but nothing special.
Situated next to Trondheim-Vaernes Airport it is very well insulated, you wouldnt know you are only a few hundred meters away.
Food is very good. The breakfast-buffet is very nice, with great variety.
Have celebrated the great norwegian tradition of "julebord" here two times and the food has always met the highest standards.
Dont hesitate to book this hotel when flying to/from Trondheim.

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

This hotel is very close to the airport in Trondheim, and you can choose between their shuttle-service or an eight minute walk from the airport. The reception staff was extraordinary friendly, and the check in and check out was very swift. The room faced the road and a parking-place (and a shopping center), but since the ventilation was so good, there was no need to open the window. The windows were sound-proof, so I did not get bothered from the traffic. The room had a good sitting area by the window. Free wi-fi, absolutely fantastic breakfast, and great beds. I didn't get the chance to eat in the restaurant in the evening, but the menu looked good. All in all - a very nice place to stay if you need accomodation close to the airport.

“Location is everything, so this hotel is at a disadvantage .....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

Little expensive for what it is - a clean, functional business hotel in an awkward location.

Staff were lovely, shuttle to-and-from the airport (although it is just over the road), good breakfast buffet and dining in evening and clean, comfortable rooms.

Trondheim was made to sound close by the hotel website, but it is a good 30 minutes by bus to downtown Trondheim. This hotel is in Hell, but isn't that bad. Not ideal if your staying for more than one night.

Room Tip: Ask for a room not overlooking the airport. You can hear the prop planes taking off.

“Hotell is nice but the location is something else”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

Stayed here once, and believe me, if you expect Trondheim, you are fare fare away from Trondheim, this is a typical business meeting hotel.
Breakfast is ok, and the buffe at the eveneing is very good, and yes they have smoking rooms, but expect lots of laughing laydies out side the vindows, because the window i had on my trip, was just over the balcony whee they go out for a smoke, the cracy ( OLD ) ladies could not shut up.
Wifi is not good if you are in one of the side of the hotel, I had to go out side in the hall to send a email.
There is nothing to see in Hell, just remember this ;)

“Great hotel, close to TRD”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

I've stayed at this hotel several times.

The rooms are nice, with good beds and a good AC, when you manage to figure out how it works.. :-)
The view from this hotel is mostly farmland, airport, airport parking and a fjor behind the road and trainline.. So you don't go here for the senic views from the windows.

The staff are polite, and wishes you welcome, and welcome back when you leave.
If you arrive late, you can go to the bar, and order a burger. That's a decent burger..

The breakfast at this hotel is almost as good as it's gonna be. The Rica chain in general has good breakfast, but this is one of the better ones. Just barley beaten by Rica Nidelv, who has the best breakfast in Norway.

The lunch isn't any worse, and the dinner is good to. This is a dangerous place to be, it's much eating at this hotel.

The swimming pool can't be called a swimming pool, maybe a swimming pit..
