    central hub for city strolls and nearby attractions

    I enjoyed my stay with a great breakfast to kick off my mornings and found myself just a short walk from the beautiful Hans Christian Andersen's Childhood Home and St Alban's Church, which made exploring the city a delight.

    fantastic breakfast
    accessibility issue

    We loved the stunning historic architecture and the hotel's central location. It made our family visit easy, especially with young kids. The breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a delicious variety that kept us fueled for our day of sightseeing around town.

    My kids wished there were more accessible facilities for strollers. It was tough navigating the stairs with the baby stroller during our stay.

    Comfortable Stay with Bountiful Breakfast

    Enjoyed a peaceful three nights in a cozy room. The breakfast spread was delightful, fueling my days of exploring Odense. A relaxing evening at the bar with a smart drink selection capped off my days beautifully. Don't miss the scrumptious seafood in the restaurant!

    historic architecture
    centralized location
    wonderful staff
    worn room

    Had a great time with friends! The hotel's historic architecture was impressive, and its centralized location made it easy to explore nearby attractions, including the adventure park. We loved the comfortable rooms and found the staff to be wonderful. Breakfast was solid, and they offered quick service. Make sure to ask for a low floor if you're shorter, as the upper floors can be a bit tricky to reach.

    The only downside was that the room we had showed some wear and could use a refresh. I expected more from the overall condition given the price.

    I truly enjoyed the charming decor and spacious dining areas, which made it feel welcoming and accessible for seniors. The location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions, and I appreciated how easy it was to navigate the hotel.

    Improve sound-proofing for quieter stays.

    spacious room
    great breakfast
    steep ramp

    We had a lovely two-night stay and really enjoyed the spacious room with comfy beds and a fantastic breakfast spread. The relaxation resources like the sauna and indoor pool made our downtime super enjoyable! One minor thing was the steep ramp for strollers, which was a bit tricky, but it didn’t ruin our experience at all. 😊

    central location
    charming interiors
    breakfast buffet
    small room

    Prime central location makes it easy to explore nearby attractions. The charming vintage interiors evoke a unique atmosphere that feels cute. Breakfast buffet offers a decent variety to start your day off right.

    Noise from the street disturbed sleep, amplified by single-glass windows. Consider earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Dated bathrooms with inadequate ventilation left something to be desired, and low water pressure in the shower didn't meet expectations for a four-star hotel.

    Outstanding breakfast and charming decor

    During our recent stay, we were delighted by the outstanding buffet breakfast featuring a vast array of options, including freshly baked pastries and a variety of hot dishes. The charming decor throughout the hotel really enhanced our experience, making us feel as though we had stepped back in time. However, it would be great if the hotel could improve the soundproofing as we experienced some noise from the surroundings.

    spacious room
    impressive breakfast
    outdated decor
    lack of luggage racks
    worn bathroom fixtures

    The superior double room was spacious and offered a comfortable bed, making for a restful night's sleep. Breakfast was impressive with a variety of hot and cold choices, though the breakfast room was a bit noisy when crowded. However, the decor in the room felt outdated and lacked proper amenities like luggage racks, which was disappointing. The bathroom showed signs of wear and could use a renovation.
