fantastic stay in a classic setting

friendly staff spacious rooms excellent breakfast
the hotel had spacious rooms. the staff was friendly. breakfast offered many options and tasted wonderful. it was a very short walk to the railway station and near the town center. you can reach andersen's house in about six minutes by foot.
the room's sofa looked a bit scruffy, and the dark wood made the room feel a bit dim.

EXCELLENT stay!!!

easy walk helpful staff great experience
My partner and I stayed while travelling. There was a garage nearby for parking which was an EASY walk. The staff was helpful and kind. A great experience. Breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed walking around the area and appreciated nice restaurants close by.
The shower door lacked a seal, causing water to splash onto the floor.

The hotel's design is very retro and classic. I loved the antiques, bearing witness to the love and passion of the craftsman, the paintings in the walls, the light, romantic and erotic at the same time.
