Stayed for new year weekend. Nice staff at reception. Allright room, pretty basic, everything average. Way too soft bed for me, had difficulties adjusting the heat in room for the night, ended up with open window. Good breakfast bur crammed breakfastroom, hotel seems to be caring more for outside breakfast guest, there was a lot of these, rather than caring for the actual hotelguests. No parking, you will have to pay to park in an ungarded outside public parking out of sight. The room was not cleaned second night, even though I twice gave notice of this as it was january 31th and I had my fears, everything under control was the reply.... Compensated by bringing clean towels from the reception and cut the not very low price with NOK 200,.-

We had the pleasure to spend 2 nights on this hotel, and will certainly stay at the same hotel next time we come to Tr.heim.
Friendly and warm welcome in the reception, good sized room, very well cleaned, superior breakfast, great view at the river and brigde crossing it and the list goes on and on.

If you're about to plan a trip to Tr.heim, be sure to stay at Nidelven. It may cost a little bit more (like 100 kroner9 a night but it's sure worth it.

Just got home from spending new years at the Rica Nidelven Hotel in Trondheim and we loved it.

We had a deluxe room, I think the lovely lady on reception told us we were upgraded to a Junior Suite and it was really nice. Blackout curtains were great and we had a huge balcony. It was a really big room with a separate 2 seater couch with two single seaters so it was essentiallly another area you could watch TV in separate from the bed (which was simply incredible.. sooooo soft!!!).

One of our friends came by around 11am on new years morning and he was not feeling well at all so we let him sleep for a little whilst we watched TV. Unfortunately it became clear when we tried to rouse hime that he was going to be too unwell to move at check out time at midday which was a bit of a tricky situation as he was our ride home about 2 hours away. Reception kindly let us extend until 2pm which was much appreciated.

The Breakfast was amazing as others have described. We've travelled fairly extensively and always stay 4 star plus, so its not the best breakfast we've ever had, but I would say its the best in Norway for sure, it was declicious thats for sure and the range is very extensive including smoothies and a barista who can make you a coffee of choice.. mmmm we had a smoothie shot which was perfect for new years morning (trust me!), dont know what was in it but it had ginger and it was fantastic.

Whilst it is not the most 'cool' hotel as far as modern and funky goes, the decor is in need of some refurbing/updating, I still cannot fault Rica Nicdevlen, we highly recommend the hotel yes - oh and the price was really really reasonable through their website we found.

We stayed for one night for business and because we came directly from Christmas holiday we had to bring our dog.

The hotel was happy to accomodate dogs for a small extra fee which is a nice treat. However one had to choose a smoking room if accommodating pets. Upon reserving the room we asked if the smoking rooms smelled bad from the smoke. The reply was that "no guests had complained about this". Maybe since pet owners are happy the hotel does accommodate pets in the first place. However the room smelt seriously bad of smoke and it would be a problem if we had stayed for more than one night.

We also checked with Rica Bakklandet which is a new hotel in the same Rica chain of hotels. They also accommodate pets and in non smoking rooms we were told. However they were closed for Christmas. Pet owners should choose the Rica Bakklandet instead if you don't smoke yourself.

The room we had was a bit tired and looked like it was designed in the 90s with bright yellow furnitures, bright blue and red carpeting and faux wood. Not exactly up to todays design, but probably it was the pet situation that gave us an older room. We got the impression that many rooms are now renovated and updated.

The common areas look nice and modern. The service is nice, however as in most Norwegian hotels it's not first class because you miss portiers and simply enough service staff. The people that do work there are very nice and pleasant.

For example to iron you need to walk down to the reception area and take the stairs to the basement. I believe that even a 4 star hotel should provide iron and iron boards in the rooms or at least housekeeping should bring upon request.

Breakfast was the best ever and we haven't been in any hotel where breakfast may compare to this. The staff and service at the breakfast room was comparable to a 5 star deluxe hotel.
The location is perfect in the midst of the old center area and the newer harbour area with lots of cafés and restaurant. The location on the pier gives it a really nice atmosphere.
