Chesterfield Hotel
A simple, central base with free breakfast included
About this hotel
Chesterfield Hotel sits four minutes on foot from Trondheim Maritime Museum and one minute from Søndre gate, keeping it firmly within Trondheim's walkable city centre. Free breakfast is included, a straightforward start before heading out to Pirbadet, and the property keeps things simple with straightforward rooms rather than extensive amenities. That simplicity suits a family focused purely on the water park rather than hotel extras, with parking available for a fee for those driving in. The central position near Søndre gate means both the water park and the city's restaurants and cafes stay within easy walking distance. Its unfussy, practical approach is the point here rather than a drawback for a family whose trip revolves around Pirbadet rather than the hotel itself.
- Free breakfast
- Central Trondheim location
- Four minutes from the Maritime Museum
Our take
This suits a family wanting a simple, affordable, centrally located base without paying for amenities a Pirbadet-focused trip will not use, especially on a short weekend visit. It is less suited to a family wanting extensive on-site facilities like a gym or restaurant, since the appeal here is straightforward practicality over polish.
- ✓Use the free breakfast to start early before Pirbadet gets busy with local families after school lets out.
- ✓Confirm parking costs in advance if driving, since it is available for a fee rather than included free.
- ✓Keep evenings simple by exploring nearby Søndre gate for dinner, since the hotel itself keeps amenities minimal.

Why guests love itWe wanted somewhere simple and affordable for a quick Pirbadet weekend, and Chesterfield Hotel delivered exactly that without unnecessary extras. The free breakfast got the kids fed and moving each morning, and being close to Søndre gate meant dinner options were always a short walk away after a tiring pool day, without needing to plan much beyond that each evening.
