Hotel berhampiran Monsberga friluftsområde, Stjordal

We didn't realize that this hotel is literally in the airport, along with the typical airport noise and transient crowd. We mistakenly rented a car to begin a drive through Norway and upon exiting the parking garage, saw our hotel right by the exit. I pulled up to hotel and asked where we could park our hotel and I was told there was no parking, but instead we would have to go back into the airport and pay for overnight parking (if we had known, we wouldn't have rented the car until morning). At check-in, i realized that we intended to book the downtown Radisson. When i asked if we could transfer our reservation if they had rooms, we were told that if we did that we had passed the cancelation time at the airport hotel by 10 minutes and we would be charged an additional night there. The desk staff were young and inexperienced, but friendly. Our room was a typical cutout box with moderate amenities. As it turned out, breakfast was NOT included and overpriced, even by Scandinavian standards, but there are no options unless you want to walk into the airport and get fast-food. All in all, not an impressive hotel for service, but sound for business travelers in need of a place to stay adjacent to the airport.

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!

A proper 5 star hotel in Trondheim! Even though we are from Trondheim ourselves we decided to spoil ourselves in a luxury stay at Britannia. We booked a Deluxe Room which is more than large enough for two people. The room included a seating area and table, as well as a desk. Where other hotels tend to save money on building their bathrooms ”institution style”, that is definitely not the case here. It was the nicest and most comfortable hotel bathroom I have ever seen. A couple of observations you might find useful: - Room service is open throughout the night, which means you can always get food without having to leave the hotel at any time of the day (and night). Perfect if you arrive late. - Room service is blistering fast. Food arrived within 20 minutes from us ordering and the food was excellent. - Housekeeping does a extra round in the early evening to prepare the room for the night. We were so pleasantly surprised about this when we came back to the room and found it all tidy. New towels, bed made up ready for sleep, new water bottles and of course chocolate. They had even put a dust cap on my half full glass of juice. A very nice touch! - Entrance to the spa is included. We went there on a Saturday afternoon and it was too crowded for our taste. Try visiting during off-hours. A number of different treatments can be booked too, but we did not try those. - Breakfast is served in the iconic Palmehaven where you can order from the menu, eat from the buffet or do like us: both. All is included in the room fee. You can order breakfast to your room but I would strongly advise to at least go to Palmehaven once. Our stay was overwhelmingly positive, but there are two negatives I want to remark at the end of this review. - We had arranged a few items (strawberrys, sweets and drinks) to be ready at our room on arrival. These were not there when we arrived, so we had to call the receiption to sort it out. They were quick to bring it to our room - but as I had ordered it as a surprise it wasn't quite the same. - The waiter at one of the hotel restaurants, Jonathan Grill, didn't know the difference between tenderloin and entrecote. When he brought the meat to our table he kept insisting that the entrecote was the tenderloin, while it obviously wasn't. In the end we just ”agreed with him” and swapped plates between us so that I got the entrecote I had ordered and my girlfriend got her tenderloin. I would expect that any waiter at a steakhouse, at least at a 5 star hotel, to be able to spot the difference.
