    Just 1 star reduction as the hotel is actually huge! I didn't expect that. So obviously the spa area is actually rather packed, and the standard rooms don't have any view at all.

    It is obviously a premium class hotel, so you expect great service, comfortable rooms, and a beautiful spa area. And Britannia certainly offers all of it. The breakfast buffet is also exceptional!

    What an experience at this 5 star hotel. The reception was great, valet parking, easy check in. The hotel itself looks great, the rooms where super classy and clean. Amazing bathroom and best bed I have slept in a while. The spa is like a roman bathhouse. The breakfast is incredible and the staff is well trained. We felt Royal during our stay.

    A true 5 star experience.

    There were a few minor issues: when booking always specify that you want a street facing room, otherwise you will be looking at an unimpressive internal courtyard and you will be looking at it through small windows. I was staying in a superior 1897 room which had very (and I mean very) limited closet space. It had space for maybe 5-6 items. The toilet paper and the tissues felt a little bit of a cheap quality, this would be such an easy upgrade and would better fit with the whole experience.

    The hotel is in a great location, with many sights, restaurants, bars and shops close-by. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. The beds are comfortable, the mattresses are of medium hardness. The bathroom is spacious, the shower has great water pressure. The hotel has 3 onsite restaurants, I tried the brasserie which was good but there are also a number of other good restaurants within walking distance to the hotel. Don't miss the hotel spa, which has 5 different types of saunas a decent pool and a seawater hot tub, not too mention the great treatments, cosmetic products etc. Breakfast is amazing as well.

    I'm saying this tongue in cheek - I wanted to purchase the pillows but it wasn't possible. I'd urge the hotel to rethink this, particularly with international visitors who're unable to get them shipped outside of Norway.

    If you're seeking a little spot of luxury then you'll find it here! From the staff to the shower and everything in between is superb! I can't recommend highly enough. Plus, the bed, pillows and duvet were like how I imagine sleeping on clouds - incredible.

    A great hotel with a couple of misses

    My main gripe is with the bed. It is a Hästens bed, but neither me nor my wife found it very comfortable. In my personal opinion it was too soft, but this is subjective. The room (Deluxe 1897 Double Room) felt considerably smaller than we expected and we could have used more storage. For example there are no hooks for the large winter coats we both had. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss with items sometimes not replenished (body lotion, tea bags, liquorice, slippers). We ate only once at the Brasserie, where the Oysters Rockefeller were a total miss, the turbot was nice, the wines were average and the so-called petit fours, was three chocolates that in other places would come free with coffee, but for which the restaurant charged nearly 10 euro. The New Year's Eve ball was a mixed event, while the food was great the entertainment seemed tailored to the taste of locals aged 70+ which was really a shame.

    The Britannia is a very nice hotel with excellent customer service and amenities. The Britannia bar is top notch with great cocktails, the steakhouse Jonathan Grill serves excellent steaks. The spa is very good, and so are the massage options. The gym is fully equipped. We loved the elevators which you never have to wait for; the best I have ever experienced. The much lauded breakfast is nice but not of better quality nor wider variety compared to many less expensive hotels in other places around the world.

    Parking valet not helpful. I had to park the car a little bit too far in front of the hotel (may be 10 meters) and I had myself to drive the car around the whole block before the attendant would take care of it. He had to move the car anyway….

    Best cappuccino in Norway.

    Nothing. A aspects of what you would want from a hotel stay were excellent.

    The staff was great. We had to completely cancel and reschedule our train to Bergen at the last minute and Florence Echarri took the time to help us get it all arranged. We also had to get a new booking for a hotel in Oslo for one night due to the changes and she found us a lovely room at the Hotel Bristol. Just over the top customer service. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the room was lovely. Bottom line is that the Britannia Hotel was the best hotel of the seven we stayed in during our trip to Norway.

    Words cannot describe adequately the experience in Britannia and the vision of the owner that goes down to the guests. This is a hotel we will surely remember and try to bring friends to enjoy it. The details make the difference and the ambience of the place is truly unique. We have been to Four Seasons in 3 different cities, but we did not feel the same. As for the breakfast, there is little you can say. Unparalleled. The variety and the quality of the food offered is superb. Lastly, the staff was very polite, helpful and attentive in a simple, nice way. Above all, you get all these at an affordable price. I would rate it 11 if I could. The fact that this hotel is in Trondheim with the magnificent Nidaros Cathedral in less than 5 minutes away, makes it a real must. We will try visiting again in Christmas time.
