Clarion Collection® Hotel Grand Olav

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.

We stayed at this hotel overnight just before we left on our 1.5 day cruise through the Fjords. The location was close to pier where were to embark from but not very close to area where you would a large selection of restaurants. Unfortunately we arrived at the hotel after the hotel restaurant had closed. So we walked the 15-20 minute walk find food and walked back afterwards which wasn't extremely far. The next morning, the hotel had one of the most impressive Norwegian breakfast setup we had on our vacation. There were egg/omelet made to order station, stations for fresh fruit & vegetables, cereals/nuts/seeds/grains, milk/yogurt/other dairy products/smoothies, pastries/breads, assortment of smoked fish, potatoes, baked beans, tomatoes and other breakfast meats. To date, I hadn't seen anything like it. I highly recommend this hotel if you're ever in Trondheim even though it's off the beaten path sort to speak.
