Clarion Hotel® Trondheim

Have stayed here several times. Nice, central hotel, with basement parking and good breakfast. This time our last nights sleep was ruined by partying guests in the room directly above us. I had to walk down to the reception twice to make them stop the noise. Telling them once did not help. Things finally quieted down around 2 am. I guess the hotel should decide if they want their rooms to be for all- night partiets or for sleep. Reluctant to risk booking there again.

Wonderful hotel. The had the best breakfast my wife and I have ever had in a hotel...anywhere in the world_and we have traveled in all the continents of the world. The hotel has a very friendly and international staff. It was a great experience. We will definitely come back.

Pros: kind, amiable, professional staff; very quiet room, even though the hotel was packed with conference-goers; out-of-this-world breakfast buffet; great view out of the breakfast room area's huge windows; good food in the Living Room and Kitchen & Table. Cons: small room (two of us were there for a week, and the room seemed to get smaller by the day), two very uncomfortable chairs in room (hard plastic), and sporadic housekeeping service. Not in the middle of things but Trondheim's main area is still walkable. If we were to go again for a shorter stay, we'd definitely book the hotel again. CAVEAT about Trondheim, not the Clarion: be careful about taking a taxi around town. We paid $25 for a 1.1 kilometer ride. When I asked the Clarion front desk if we'd been scammed, they told us that the price wasn't unusual.

We stayed here for 4 nights, while at a conference in the hotel. Overall, it was a lovely experience. The rooms were clean and functional, yet smaller than I had anticipated. Our room had a double bed, one sitting chair, and a desk. Each side of the bed had a nightstand. The room also has a rack to hang clothes and some awkward shelves that open in a way that make them unusable. There was very little space around the furniture though. It was quite cluttered with our luggage. The location is so/so. It's along the water/harbor, which is nice, but it's a 10+ minute walk into the city center. It's not a flat walk either. You have to cross over the train tracks via a walking bridge. It was doable, but kinda annoying. The best part of our stay were the lovely and accommodating staff and the restaurant. The breakfast, as others have pointed out, is pretty darn amazing. While our other hotels in Norway had similar options, this hotel really took it to the next level. There was nothing overlooked. If you could imagine it, they had it. It really was quite remarkable. The fried eggs topped with crispy bacon were so very amazing. The eggs tasted SO much better than U.S. eggs. They also have so many more options than traditional fare of eggs, meat, and potatoes--they have a yogurt bar, meat and cheese bar, pancakes with toppings bar, veggies and dip bar, juice bar. Really, you name it. The catered event lunches were nice, too, and loaded with tasty desserts. One drawback was that hotel lacks self-service laundry options. We used a drop-off service nearby that was SO expensive. We couldn't find anywhere to do it ourselves. Overall, this hotel is a solid choice for Trondheim. The breakfast alone is worth coming here!

This is a nice and high-quality hotel. If you're lucky like me, getting a room with a nice view will add to your luck. There are, however, some points to be raised regarding this hotel. First, I asked the reception what makes my room "superior" to normal rooms. One of the answers was the view! Second, there's no telephone in the room. They ask passengers to send text message, and this is not applicable who do not have sim cards or plans in Norway. You have to go to the reception every time you have a question :-(. Also, let's pray you do not have a problem in the mid-night that needs contacting the reception. Third, and to my surprise, no tissues were in the room. Again, I checked with the reception, and they said that's right! Finally, I went for "Green Stay", which I expected at least ONE service during my one week stay. However, to my surprise, there was no room serivce for the whole week. My tash bins were full, and I was out of coffee and tea bags, and of course ...
