Clarion Collection® Hotel Grand Olav

We have been traveling through Norway for the past 2 weeks and have stayed exclusively in Clarion hotels which on the whole have been very good. This one is well below standard. Firstly the lighting in the room is almost non existent. Secondly there is no tea or coffee - not even a kettle, cups etc - just nothing! Thirdly the furniture is very old and worn and appears quite grubby. Even a rip in the upholstery! Not a great experience.

Hotel build in 87, and without midlife upgrade, it was poor quality. Good place in city, and not value for money, with other better alternatives nearby. With new owner it must be a serious upgrade in the future

I spent such a wonderful time in the Clarion in Copenhagen I was really looking forward to my five days here. I booked out within minutes of arriving and forfeited my Booking .com monies to find a hotel that was clean and didn't make me feel like I was staying in a doss house. The room was grimy, stuffy with broken furniture and the place stunk of neglect. It is simply a disgrace. Over rpiced and garbage.

The hotel is located close to the central train station and nearby attractions in Trondheim. An easy walk to points of interest. The hotel rooms were neat, very clean and comfortable. The staff at the desk was very polite and helpful with reservations for taxis. A nice afternoon buffet for those staying at the hotel with that plan included in some rooms, did not apply to our group of six.

A somewhat strange hotel. Rooms are comfortable and have lovely pillows which I appreciated. However rooms that face outward on the road (as opposed toward the atrium) have no means of temperature control. The window only slightly opens and in warm whether they are impossibly hot despite being given two fans. The atrium facing rooms have air con but you cannot open the windows. Breakfast is average, probably the worst we experienced on our trip. They provide evening meal free but there is no choice. We had one which was ok but couldn’t fancy the second night. The rooms do not have a hairdryer and there is none available. There is a laundry facility free of charge which is great when travelling.
