Scandic Solsiden
A relaxed waterfront-adjacent stay with free parking included
About this hotel
Scandic Solsiden sits seven minutes on foot from Trondheim Maritime Museum and two minutes from the Solsiden district itself, keeping it close to Trondheim's harbourside restaurant and nightlife area. Complimentary breakfast, free parking and free Wi-Fi cover the practical basics, useful for a family driving in for a Pirbadet trip who also want easy walking access to Solsiden's waterfront dining in the evening. The relaxed terrace suits a slower morning before heading out to the pools, and the pet-friendly policy means the family dog does not need to stay behind. Air conditioning helps on warmer days returning from the water park. Its position between free parking convenience and Solsiden's waterfront restaurants is what makes this stay easy to plan around.

- Near Solsiden waterfront
- Complimentary breakfast option
Our take
This suits a family wanting free parking plus easy access to Solsiden's waterfront dining scene after a day at Pirbadet. It is less suited to a family wanting to be directly in the historic old town, since Solsiden sits a short walk from the cathedral quarter rather than immediately beside it.
- ✓Use the free parking if driving in, then walk to Solsiden's restaurants in the evening rather than moving the car again.
- ✓Book a terrace table for a relaxed breakfast before a Pirbadet morning, when the pace is naturally slower.
- ✓Confirm pet policy details in advance if bringing a dog, since fees and rules can vary by room type.

Why guests love itFree parking made Scandic Solsiden an easy choice after a long drive into Trondheim, and walking to Solsiden's waterfront restaurants that evening after a tiring Pirbadet afternoon felt like a proper reward. Our dog came along without any hassle, and the terrace breakfast the next morning set a relaxed tone before heading back out to the pools for a second round of slides.
