Clarion Collection® Hotel Grand Olav

I had a short trip to Trondheim, and I wanted to stay rather central in the city due to my reasons for visiting. The location looked rather perfect when I had a look at the map, and it was easy accessable from the expressbus from the airport. The hotel seem to be a part of a concert arena of some kind, I arrived a bit late and the place gave me a deadly silent impression. It was quick and easy to check in, but I would appreciate that the receptionist would have mentioned that there was no minibar in the room. As a part of the loyalty program its suppose to include free mineral water for members, and nothing was mentioned. When taking the elevator upstairs it was not difficult to see that this was a hotel living in the past. The hotel was probably grand back in the days, while now the walls were just keeping old memories at hearth. It had this old and worn look. The upside with the hotel was the breakfast. A breakfast that gave me the start in the morning that i needed before running off to catch a business meeting. Though, its not a stay i'll look back and think "i'll be returning soon". No, it's a stay i'll quickly forget and the next time I will try out a different hotel. A hotel that perhaps live more up to its name.

Nothing to say for this Nordic hotel, quite old, without any kind of style or finishing. It’s a 4 stars but could be easily a 3. We were in the junior suite at the 6th floor. Clean and really spacious, but furniture quite basic. The breakfast is ok.

The Grand Olav was the perfect place to stay in Trondheim. It was walkable to local bars and only a short distance from the Bus Station. The food was plentiful and excellent! The staff was great, especially Edith at the front desk. The breakfast meal was enormous, the afternoon pancakes/waffles tasty and the evening meal pure joy with local and traditional Norwegian food. We will definitely return to this hotel again.

We had a 3-day visit to Trondheim staying at the Clarion Grand Olav. It is a lovely hotel attached to the Olafshallen concert hall, situated only a few minutes walk from Central Station. It is within easy access, too, for all of Trondheim's attractions. Check-in was easy, with friendly & helpful staff. The room was spacious, extremely comfortable (literally the best pillows I've ever had in a hotel!) & spotlessly clean. On face value, the rate per night might seem a little expensive to some guests, but when you take into account that the hotel provides an afternoon sweet & evening meal as well as the complimentary breakfast, it is value for money. This was an excellent base for our stay in Trondheim...I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is located really good. You have short distance to Solsiden(where you find plenty of good restaurant & shopping) and to the market place. In the hotel you have the chance to rent movies for free, which is really fun if you don't feel like spending the evening outside. The surprise was the evening snack which is actually more of a lighter dinner. The second evening had 5 different salads which where the best ones I ever tasted. Thank you! Hotel itself isn't that beautiful, it's an old building. Ps.staff is really friendly and will try to help you with anything.
