Picolo recommends · Hotel in Trondheim, Norway
Quality Hotel Prinsen
A central address on Kongens gate, close to Olavshallen and Gamle Bybro, with Nidaros Cathedral to the south.
Concert tickets in your pocket, and Olavshallen, the city's main concert hall, is only a few minutes away. Quality Hotel Prinsen sits on Kongens gate in the middle of Midtbyen, where almost everything worth seeing in Trondheim can be reached on foot.
The hotel is practical rather than precious. There are two restaurants, a bar, a gym and a conference centre in the house, and the rooms are modern and sensibly laid out. From the door, Gamle Bybro is close, and the cathedral lies a short stroll south.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Quality Hotel Prinsen
This is our value pick in Trondheim. You get a central address and solid guest reviews without paying for luxuries you will not use, and you can walk to Torvet, Bakklandet and Solsiden without ever needing a taxi.
On weekdays the conference trade keeps the hotel busy, and the lobby is rarely calm. If you want a quiet hotel with character, or a room with a view of the river, you will need to spend a little more elsewhere.
What you get
