Pensjonat Jarlen

This is a charmless but functional place that delivers basic comfort at a reasonable price for Norway. It seems to serve aging middle-income backpacker types who can't deal with shared showers anymore, like myself and my husband. Our rooms were up a flight of steep, narrow stairs and through a heavy hallway door, not easy if you're dragging a suitcase. The room was dowdy but clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom and good shower and a well-stocked kitchenette. Like almost everywhere we stayed in the country, only one of us had a bedside table and reading lamp. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. They let us stack our luggage in a corner of the small reception while sight-seeing on our last day. Tea and coffee machines are in the reception.

Pensjonat Jarlen is located at 12min walking distance from Trondheim railway station. The B&B offers 26 rooms over 3 floors. It is an elder building. At ground floor you find coffee & tea. Reception is open from 07:00 to 22:00. No breakfast. Free Wi-Fi. Friendly staff. We had a modest room at the ground floor. The practical furnished & decorated room had two so-so single beds with good bed-linen, desk & chair, wardrobe, TV and kitchen-corner with stovetop, fridge, pots & pans, and plates & cutlery. A separate bathroom with toilet, washbasin and shower. All was clean. With NKR 1,490 without breakfast we found Jarlen pricey, nonetheless we had an OK stay. Note that hotel prices in Trondheim are sky-high. Recommended for one night.

I'm very satisfied with my accomodation. I've been at Jarlen for 6 nights on a ground floor single room that i found small but cozy with heated floor, a kitchen and a comfy bed. At night the place is very quiet and you can sleep well.
