Lodging as adults or as a family, guests will not be disappointed. The staff bring the Britannia Hotel to life! We arrived late (after 2100) and our child was asleep. The front desk staff checked us in quickly and provided information regarding all of the amenities available. Before we even settled in our room, Ms. Mahasen from evening housekeeping was at our door with a cot and other items so our 3 year old didn't need to share a bed with us. Ms. Mahasen made sure to provide us additional linen, toiletries, and even a child sized bathrobe! When our child woke up, he was so excited to be "cozy" in a robe just like his parents. Housekeeping checks rooms twice each day making certain guests always feel refreshed before bed. Typical "included breakfasts" in the United States include cereal, coffee, and boxed scrambled eggs. Britannia Hotel and the Palmehaven staff give guests a true dining experience for the breakfast buffet! Eggs benedict, made to order omelettes, sliced fresh fruit, pastries, and even honey from the Britannia Hotel's beehives! (If you wish to see the beehives, they can be viewed from the 10th floor windows) With such an elegant breakfast experience, the staff ensure families feel welcomed and supported too. Ms. Anna hosted us most mornings and she became our child's favorite person during our stay. Each morning, Ms. Anna would ask him about his previous day's adventures, would give him a "choice" of where to sit, and actively listening as he shared his fascination with Pokemon. Ms. Anna and the Palmehaven staff keep coloring pages, activity books, and colored pencils to entertain children thus allowing parents to enjoy and finish their meal. There were mornings our child woke us up to go show Ms. Anna a different toy he did not share with her during a previous visit. The wait staff at the Palmehaven are kind, polite, and professional! If our child said "hello", waved, or initiated interaction, the staff always engaged and made our child feel seen and important. After a few mornings, our child was known by name with a few of the staff members and it made him feel like royalty! We cannot leave out the valet and front desk staff! The valets also came to know our child's name and asked him where he was adventuring to for the day, asked how the trip was, and were very understanding when he showcased less than ideal three year old behavior. The front desk was always smiling, professional, and willing to answer any questions. If they did not know an answer, the Britannia Hotel team went out of their way to find the answer for us. Amenities at the Britannia Hotel provide a great experience for those traveling adult only and those traveling with families. The indoor pool offers Child Friendly - Family hours; this provides guests with the opportunity to enjoy a child free pool environment while also providing pool time for families. They sell swimsuits which is very convenient (especially when traveling in winter when most stores no longer have swimsuits available in stores). The gym is a fitness enthusiast's dream! With a clean and spacious setup, the fitness center includes the typical cardio equipment as well as weightlifting equipment and a deadlift platform. Trondheim is a beautiful walkable city and the Britannia Hotel is set in the middle. The cathedral and museums are a short walk away. A convenient store, cafe, bookstore, and pharmacy are all located less than a 3 minute walk from the hotel. If traveling with children, the science center is also a short walk from the hotel; an excellent option for days with undesirable weather. The Britannia Hotel is also attached to several dining options including the Palmehaven, Brassiere, Jonathan's Grill, and a Bar. All of these dining options can be accessed without stepping outside. It was lovely to dress for date night without worrying about warm practical attire and shoes to accommodate the weather. This was our first trip to Norway and the Britannia Hotel provided clean, luxurious lodging with professional and kind customer service. With breakfast, the pool, location, and attached dining, the Britannia Hotel helped reduce the amount of guess work and finite planning needed to enjoy our vacation when weather or illness required a change of plans. We loved vacation in Trondheim and we loved our stay with the Britannia Hotel!

That is why I love this hotel. It is central, convenient to everything and situated in a beautiful area of Trondheim. The bus stop to Vaernes is a short walk away (I wish I had known that before I had used that cab to get to town). The rooms are basic but have everything I need. The shower and bed are great and I stayed in one of the cheaper rooms they have in the hotel. I hate it when they cut costs by putting in a crap shower or bed. Not here. Breakfast is part of the deal and it is very good. You can really expand your knowledge of Scandinavian dishes like pickled fish - if you care to do so. They also have the Norwegian version of a cooked breakfast - if you care for that. The staff are great - I needed to lengthen my stay by a few more nights - sorted out easily. The speed of the internet is excellent and I did some additional updates on some kit while I stayed here. I was also able to connect up all of my devices - no restrictions on this as well. There are definitely more expensive places to stay in Trondheim but I would say that this place met my needs really well. The other hotels would have put me farther away than where I wanted to be. Everytime I chucked a restaurant or tourist attraction I wanted to visit into Google maps - the destination was less than 5 minutes away. That is pretty impressive. The spire at Kongens Gate is also easy to spot - so if your phone battery dies as you are using Google Maps walking back from the restaurant. No Worries - aim for the big spikey thing in the middle of the roundabout and you are a block away from this place.

A top-notch hotel for Norwegian standards. Great service, and the hotel itself was stylish with all…read morethe interior finesse that you would expect from this type of hotel, also considering the fact that it is less than two years old. The breakfast was wonderful, and it included hot food items upon order, fresh pressed juice directly from a machine, and a beautiful view of river Nidelva. My room was very small though, to my opinion too tiny for a Standard, as this room was defined as. Also the bed was very small for a queen, which we do not like. As my dreams when sleeping often tend to be something close to scenes from well-know spy movies etc, I have a hard time lying still. Which obviously makes it a challenge to actually stay in a bed that fails to meet the expected standards with regards to size. I will definitely come back, but will make sure to book a bigger room, and request a larger bed!

The once venerable Rica Bakklandet now under new management has been on a downhill slide since the…read moreScandic takeover. Little things changed pretty quickly like soap in the bathrooms and the signage, but now the quality of the facilities and services has been directly impacted. The rooms have always been modest affairs. My pillow actually felt lumpy like it had been filled with cotton balls and the towels are now in need of repairs. No facial tissues, and the electric tea kettle has been removed from all rooms. However, the real reason you stay here is the breakfast buffet, always a little less awesome that the legendary Nidelven location, which has also taken a bit of hit. Coffee at this location was never good, but that was OK because they always had the fresh orange juice machine. The machine was out of oranges I'm told, let's hope it wasn't deemed too costly by management and will soon disappear entirely. The scrambled eggs were watery. Eww. Really, this is a study in how cost considerations can kill the reason why customers come back to a location and ultimately make you start wondering if every defect isn't some new policy handed down to cut cost and maximize profit. New customers, or one-offs will never know, but I do.
