Thon Hotel Nidaros
A 1908 building with breakfast and dinner both included
About this hotel
Thon Hotel Nidaros occupies a building dating to around 1908, five minutes on foot from Trondheim Maritime Museum and one minute from Søndre gate, giving it a historic backdrop within Trondheim's walkable centre. Free breakfast and evening meals are both included, a useful combination for a family whose Pirbadet schedule is hard to predict day to day, since dinner is sorted whether the kids want an early meal or run late at the wave pool. The on-site gym gives parents somewhere to unwind, and the central position near Søndre gate keeps both the water park and the city's restaurants within easy reach. Having two included meals is the detail that makes this property stand out for a multi-day family trip built around Pirbadet.
- Two meals included daily
- 1908 heritage building
- Five minutes from the Maritime Museum
Our take
This suits a family wanting breakfast and dinner both handled without restaurant planning around an unpredictable pool schedule, especially one juggling a toddler's early appetite and a teenager's later one. It is less suited to a family who prefers eating out and exploring Trondheim's wider restaurant scene each evening, since the included meals work best when they are actually used rather than skipped.
- ✓Confirm evening meal timing when booking, since Pirbadet days can run later than planned and you will want dinner still available.
- ✓Ask about the historic building's original features if character matters to your stay, since some rooms retain period details.
- ✓Book ahead during school holidays, since the included breakfast and dinner combination is popular with families.

Why guests love itThe included dinner at Thon Hotel Nidaros saved us more than once after a Pirbadet day ran later than planned and nobody had the energy to find a restaurant. Staying in a building with this much history, right off Søndre gate, gave the trip a bit of character that a standard modern hotel would not have offered our family, and the gym gave my partner a quiet hour each evening.
