We stayed here for a wedding in the Odense city hall and there was a number of us in our group. The hotel had some beautiful, comfortable reception rooms where we could all meet up as we went in and out and about our other activities. It is a short walk to the city hall & so a perfect location for the wedding. There are lots of restaurants close by & it is a very walkable place. Walking distance from the train station too, even with luggage. Breakfast was great. Our room was small but we only booked a standard queen.

Great hotel right in old town. Very quiet room, generous breakfast, wonderful staff. We loved our stay here. My only complaint would be that they didn’t have a smart TV. Everything else was wonderful. Very clean room

The water pressure was great!!! Parts of the area seemed a little sketchy. The parking garage right behind the hotel had all kinds of graffiti and i had to park on the top level to receive the parking discount, still! The bed was not centered, my side by the window only had a gap of maybe 6 inches, and the base of the bed could not be moved. Trying to drag your luggage up the front steps was not what you would expect from a high class hotel!!! The breakfast was excellent!! By far the best on the trip.

Grand building, a few issues

Impressive building, feels very grand when you walk in. Our room was large with comfortable bed but bathroom a bit dated. We asked for our room to be cleaned daily but the only things done were replacing the coffee & cups and filling the fridge - surprised that they didn't make bed or empty bin. Bathroom had previous guest's contact lens on floor & some mould. Curtains didn't reach to bottom of window. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly and excellent breakfast and location

What a beautiful Grand Hotel. The Ground Floor is absolutely stunning. It was like going back in time. I really loved the breakfast selection and decoration. Truly beautiful! Furthermore, the staff was very welcoming and helpful with advices for my exploring. Some things to improve: The room was a bit dusty. It felt that it wasn't recently cleaned. Especially the slit between the matraze and headboard. I was a bit shocked to find so much dust between it. Also the floors should be better cleaned. Overall, magical hotel that just needs slight improvements to be an impeccable place.

This was such a wonderful hotel. It's right in the middle of the touristic part of Odense, with plenty of places to eat nearby and very close to the train station. The staff is super nice and the breakfast was outstanding. I would stay there again for sure.
