Hotel berhampiran Estenstaddammen, Trondheim

Hi. I've reviewed the hotel via TripAdvisor. Thank you and Cheers.

The location is in the heart of the city, and it is very convenient to travel to other places by nearby bus stops.

Place is nice and convenient Entrance is controlled by digital luck, interesting Laundry free—good for several days visiting

I chose this hotel as it was the closest to Trondheim station and I was arriving alone by train after 10 pm at night. It was also the cheapest hotel I stayed in during my 3 week travel around Norway and it was easy to see why. There were no amenities in the hotel room such as a kettle, iron, hairdryer or safe. The carpet was stained, and the TV offered about 6 channels, one of them was Al Jazeera and two of them appeared to be Chinese Government sponsored channels. There was not even the usual offering of Norwegian TV channels, just NRK1 and NRK3. The channels that there were were not properly tuned in and there was distortion on the screen. The WiFi kept dropping in and out so I couldn’t watch anything on my iPad either. There was an overhead light when you entered the room above the door, but nothing above the bed, just two tiny bedside lamps so the room appeared dark and unwelcoming. Neither was there a wardrobe or draws, just a frame to hang clothes on with two hangers. The room was warm, and there was a temperature control so that was a bonus. The view from the window of the room I was in was over the train station and out into the fjord beyond. Luckily it was not noisy although I am aware that there were trains running throughout the night. The shower room was also quite sp**** - the seat on the toilet was broken, the two towels provided were quite threadbare, and there were two dispensers on the wall, one by the sink, the other in the shower dispensing minute quantities of soap. The good point was that the shower itself was strong and hot, and appeared quite clean. The light in the shower room was on a sensor which took a while to switch itself off, this has the potential to be quite annoying if you are sharing the room and one of you gets up in the middle of the night On the ground floor was a breakfast room but I did not have breakfast or anything from the reception area so cannot comment on the food or drink on offer - there were also hot and cold drinks and some pastries on sale from the reception desk. The main thing going for this hotel is its’ proximity to Trondheim Station, however I realised on my first morning there that there significantly better hotels within close, well-lit walking distance across the bridge from the station

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!

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.
