Very clean, quiet and a great view from my room made the week start excellent. A Scandic breakfast is always nice, and so are the one at Solsiden.
As you can arrive by car, and park in the basement, or by bus just outisde, this is a great place to stay. Central, and still both cozy and silent, inside.
They seem to have a lot of conferences but that didnt interfere with us that were there to sleep and work ;)
Outside of the hotel is an area that really makes you wish that you could eat all the time. Lots of places for every taste ... we walked around the closest blocks a bit, and still we found something new, the next time we passed.
Do go to the Nidaros and also Dora -both are sites that really makes you wonder how they built all that!
Be back? Yes, we will stay here next time, as well!

(Some of the negatives may be because the current covid-19 situation and may improve when the situation returns to normal.)
Parking situation is excellent, but as expected it is expensive to park indoors in the city of Trondheim. It is possible to park within only a few steps from the elevator that takes you to the lobby or your floor. Parking spaces are relatively large.
Check in was handled quickly and professionally; no fuss at all.
First impression of the room was not good. There was a lot of dust and debris on the floor and also some in the chair, indicating it had at best been cleaned in a hurry. Doorframe in the bathroom had stains indicating the room hadn't been thoroughly inspected or cleaned in some time. It was late and I was tired from driving all day, and I was already told the hotel had no vacant rooms, so I didn't bother complaining at the time (which I probably should have). Bathroom and beds seemed otherwise clean enough, so it was not a showstopper at the time.
Instructions on how to connect your laptop/tablet/phone to the TV was a plus. They did not have (available?) HDMI cables for us to loan as advertised, so I went out and bought my own. Worked like a charm. Internet was free, and the speed was sufficient for streaming movies without any issues.
Breakfast situation was heavily influenced by the covid-19 situation, and we were required to make table reservations at either 8, 9 or 10 AM. This worked out well, but on our return trip a few days later (which I'll not review separately) only 8AM was available on Sunday, so no sleeping in at all. The breakfast restaurant was well spaced (only every second table was used) which was a plus, there was sanitizer stations everywhere, and bread, cheese and some other spreads were packed in individual bags. However, everyone was handling the same spoons tongs and forks for everything else, so all the precautions seemed kind of moot. The lack of bacon however was unforgivable (a single strip of bacon on the fried eggs doesn't count, but there wasn't even that). I didn't ask why they had no bacon, but no bacon means an instant F on breakfast services in my book, no matter the reason.
Checking out was just like checking in; professionally and swiftly handled, no fuss and we were on our way in less than a minute.

Hi and thank you for visiting us and thank you so much for your feedback, Our guests safety is very important for us and I am very glad to hear about your experience with us regarding our handling on how to avoid further spread of Covid-19. We change the spoons, tongs and forks every 30 minutes or often if we feel the need to. We talk to everyone while seating them to keep at least one meter distance and we have antibac on every table and all over the food-area. We use a special soap on the tables and chairs, but of course, we as the rest of the society, depend on every one of us to actually wash our hands, keep distance and not forget all the things we learn this spring. Hope to see you again, and wish you still a great summer.

I stayed at the Scandic Solsiden for 3 days in February 2020. I selected this hotel because the airport shuttle stopped a few feet from the entrance and the stop to return to the airport was right across the street. This is great for a solo traveler with 3 bags. The airport shuttle was 180 NOK R/T senior rate to the city center. Scandic Solsiden is the first airport shuttle stop as you enter the city center and the last stop when you are returning to the airport.
Since I am a Scandic member the vouchers I received paid for my sodas and a snack bag of peanuts. The complementary breakfast was excellent and met the standards of what I expect from the Scandic hotels. The breakfast room is very large and beautiful so there was always a comfortable place to eat your breakfast without being rushed.
My room ,623, was large and overlooked the square to the shopping center, love the heated floors in Norway hotels. Because the complimentary breakfast didn’t start until 6:30 AM and I’d be long gone,I was leaving at 5 AM, the hotel packed for me a bottle of apple juice, two ham sandwiches, two hard boiled eggs, an orange and a banana to take with me!
I will again select the Scandic Solsiden when I return to Trondheim.

The room was perfect, not too hot/cold, and not at all noisy, even from neighboring doors being shut. I slept soundly for both nights, which is unusual for me when not sleeping in my own bed. This was perfect! Breakfast buffet was great, and the location at Solsiden was perfect for our needs. Excellent variety of good restaurants, cafés, and transport. Near the water enough for nice evening strolls. The staff was very professional and service-minded. Cheerful, helpful, accommodating in all interactions. Wonderful staff! Thank you for a great weekend in a new city!

Conveniently located in the centre of Trondheim within walking distance of the major sights. Modern, establishment, with clean and tidy rooms and a good choice of breakfast options. Parking is at an underground car park with a dedicated exit to the hotel at an extra cost.

Check in / check out went quick and the staff was very helpful throughout our stay ( we stayed 3 nights). Nice and clean rooms. Breakfast was affected by the covid-19 situation, but this was expected. I actually didn’t mind having to choose a time to eat breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised by the good selection of food. The line for breakfast and where to go between the “stations” was a bit chaotic at times. It might be an idea to organize this better, with some signs or something, but it wasn’t a big issue for me. The hotel has a great location and it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to most tourist attractions.. Walking is a great way to experience this wonderful city, so don’t forget your sneakers! Nice restaurants (remember to book a table for dinner) and a shopping center right next door. I can recommend this hotel and I’ll be back :)

Great location in the lovely center of Trondheim. Bus stops in front of the hotel and is a very cheap way of proper traveling; 30 minutes from the airport by express bus. Hotel only serves breakfast which is good and extensive. There are plenty of nice restaurants and other establishments within walking distance. Tip; Please ask for a room on the outside of the building as the inside opens only to the inner side of the hotel which is the breakfast area and therefore doesn’t have fresh air.

Pleasant and service-minded staff, nice rooms, pleasant atmosphere and good breakfast. When I arrived, the employee at the desk saw that I had been given a room facing a noisy square, so she moved my room to a quieter side of the hotel, which I really appreciated. I should have the stay invoiced and it was no problem for Scandic Solsiden to arrange it for me either. This has been challenging at both of the other hotels I have stayed at in Trondheim recently. Will be staying at Scandic Solsiden on all future work trips.

We arrived shortly after 3pm, for the alleged early check-in (from 4pm) must be paid extra - ridiculous!! Zimmer was done. Hotel otherwise quite ok (room small but clean, bed ok, bathroom good) Would rather choose different hotel on the waterfront.
