Scandic Bakklandet

What a great location! We walked easily to the “Gamle Bybroen”, the Nideros Cathedral, central plaza and dined in Bakklandet. Walked up to the fortress too. I loved all the outlets for charging our electronic gadgets. I am older so I have a Cpap machine, need charge hearing aids, 2 iPhones, battery and iPads. No problem here!!! Rooms were very nice, staff efficient and friendly and the hotel provides an amazing Norwegian buffet.

I came all the way from eastern Sweden to Trondheim for tourism and booked this hotel, it didn’t look like much from the outside but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the inside. The rooms are amazing, the view over the river is absolutely stunning and the foyer is very large, well lit and high ceilings giving off a luxurious vibe. The staff is as always at Scandic very friendly and helpful.

I would say that this hotel is already in my list of top best hotels! Very clean, good quality rooms and furniture, breakfast contains a variety dishes . Amazing river view. Highly recommend!

I can’t speak highly enough of this place. |Everything was great! The staff is super friendly and helpful (from the reception to the cleaning ladies and breakfast staff), we got quite a few tips on places to visit and things to do at reception.|The hotel is easily accessible and super central. Trondheim is a small town and you can get everywhere by foot or by bicycle. The hotel is gorgeous, very well designed and decorated. |The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, they provided an extra bed at no extra cost for my child. |Breakfast was AMAZING!!! If returning to Trondheim, this is where i would stay again!

Breakfast was decent and staff members were friendly. Totally recommend due to the fact it has a bus stop right in front of the hotel which is one of the stops that provides shuttle service to the airport starting from 3am. Not that it was urgent, but I would expect a telephone in the rooms to contact the reception if required to. Also, they should also mention that guests are required to bring their own toothbrush and toothpaste as normally i would expect complimentary toiletries unless stated.

Good breakfast. Okay rooms (a little dark), but very thin walls. Practical distances to shops and nearby sights. Neat workout space.

Perfect location for checking out Bakklandet and Møllenberg. Very helpful staff. Tasty breakfast, albeit with Scandic Nidelven nearby I would say god for Nidelven if you care about the food. This is a normal good hotel breakfast, whereas Nidelven is spectaculary good.

Nice and cosy hotel close to town centre. Very friendly and service minded staff, great breakfast selection. Somewhat small rooms, very small fitness room.

A top-notch hotel for Norwegian standards. Great service, and the hotel itself was stylish with all the 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 Scandic 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.
