“Nice hotel central in Trondheim”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

I stayed at the hotel 2 nights, during a family get together in the city.

What I liked with the hotel:

- They have a light supper from 18.00 until 21.00, and before that, you have the possibility to "cook" your own waffle. I like that touch, no fancy stuff, just som plain and good supper if you feel up for that! The food in general is great at this hotel, not the largest range of food, but the food is good, and Choise hotels in Norway is known for healthy food.

- In the lobby you can find a big collection of DVDs, and that is GREAT for a hung over Sunday.. You simply pick up the DVDs you'd like to see, get the discs in the reception, ask for a pot of tea and some fruit, and your Sunday is saved.. :-)

- The rooms are comfy and good looking, the beds are soft and you got everything you need in the room.

What I don't like:

- The rooms who lies on the "street"side of the hotel, don't have AC, and unless you ask for some help, you can't open the windows more than just a little bit on the top.. If it's a hot night, you'll be boiled.. It's no problem to ask the front desk manager, for some help to unlock the window.. But you don't bother do that the first hot night, with hot and bad air in the room. That said, the rooms with windows in to the atrium has AC, and that gives a comfier sleep.

- With my 194 cm height, I don't care much about bathtubs, so that's a small minus from me.

- The hotel don't offer free parking, so if you're staying at the hotel with a car for serveral days, find somewhere else to park.. It's 170 NOK a day..


All in all, it's a good hotel, it gives me all that I need from a hotel. The food served is great, and that what I like best of the hotel!

“Good location good hotel”

This is another good standard hotel. Nice big room, with a sofa, which makes relaxing easier. The staff were very helpful.
It is a good location on the edge of the city centre, so every thing is a short walk away.

“Nice hotel centrally located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

Checkin was fast, friendly and efficient.

Room was very spacious and in good condition. I assume I was upgraded as my colleague told me that his room was standard size.

WIFI was free being both reliable and fast.

Hotel offered evening buffet free of charge which was highly appreciated.

Breakfast was also good with selection to suit most tastes.

Liked the proximity from airport bus stop as well as being middle in downtown.

I would definetely stay here again.

“Self service hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2011

This hotel is actually a bit funny. For breakfast you even have to fry the eggs yourself.

The hotel is in a nice location. Reception staff are welcoming. There is free internet.
The rooms were surprisingy nice and pretty, but unfortunately they only have a heating system, and no cooling. In the summer the room got so boiling hot I had problems sleeping. I tried to open window but it was too noisy outside. They should have some fans. They hava a minibar but no room service, so if you need more drinks you will have to go down to the reception which is also a bar.

They do not have restaurant for dinner or lunch only breakfast. Well, they do have a sort of light evening meal which is included in the price, self service. To be honest if it wasn`t included in the price noone would pay to eat that food. Its possible to eat if you are very hungry, and dont want to spend money to eat elsewhere, but the food is not good. which is sad as the idea is good, and it would have cost so little extra to make something more edible.

“Convenient, quiet location, modern, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Located in the northeast corner of downtown adjacent to a shopping mall, 6 blocks from the train station. Modern decor is very tastefully done, with a music theme. Location is on a narrow (cobblestone) side street, so there is no traffic noise. Rooms are spotless. Windows open. Bathroom is nice size. Staff was very accommodating. Room rate includes substantial buffet breakfast with hot and cold dishes, afternoon waffles, and a light (one hot entree, vegetable, starch) plus an assortment of cold dishes which was more than adequate.
