Scandic Lerkendal
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Scandic Lerkendal is worth booking if you want a 4-star room in Trondheim at the lowest price in our shortlist and do not mind a 20-minute walk to the cathedral. Skip it if you want to step straight out into the old centre, or if the lowest guest score of the hotels we compared worries you.

Families do well here. Guests mention a separate breakfast buffet for children, and the property lists family rooms, a gym, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace and free Wi-Fi. It also suits anyone heading to the stadium or the university, which guests say are close by.
Visitors who want to be in the historic centre every evening may find the location less handy. And while 8.0 out of 10 from 3,299 reviews is a decent result, it is the lowest score among the 9 hotels we compared.
Location and getting around
The address is Klæbuveien 127, south of the centre. Guests rate the location 8.4 out of 10.
Nidaros Cathedral is about 1.6 km away, roughly 20 minutes on foot. Tyholttårnet is about 1.9 km, around 24 minutes, and Haltdalen Stave Church is about 2.4 km, roughly 30 minutes. These are straight-line estimates that have not been checked, so real routes may take longer. Guests say there is a bus stop right outside, which helps in bad weather.
What guests say
Breakfast is the favourite. Reviewers describe a generous spread with tasty options and a separate buffet for children. Location also gets positive comments for being near the stadium and university, with nice views and a bus stop outside.
Opinion on value is split. Some guests think the rates are reasonable; others find the total cost too high. That matters for a Budget pick, so compare the price against your own dates before deciding.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €104 per night. That was about 23% below the sample median of roughly €135. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
The Best Value pick, Quality Hotel Prinsen, cost about €158 per night with a score of 8.7 and a much more central address 6 minutes from the cathedral. The Luxury pick, Britannia Hotel, scored 9.3 but was about €335 per night. Scandic Lerkendal saves around €54 per night against Prinsen. In exchange you accept a longer walk to the centre and a lower score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Trondheim. After setting aside the upscale choice, Scandic Lerkendal had the lowest eligible reference price. It still carries 4 stars, a buffet breakfast and over 3,000 reviews, which gives a clear picture of what to expect.

If you plan to visit on a match or event day near the stadium, check what is on for your dates, since that could affect prices and noise. Garden and terrace access in November is also not confirmed.
