Location is fantastic! View across a meadow to the 1000 year old harbor and historic Ribe with the cathedral towering above it all. Somewhat basic accommodations, but everything was sparkling clean and worked. And the breakfast was delicious and very well stocked.

False advertising

False advertising. In the pics on the website, there is a climbing gym & a pool. We has access to none of them. They said you have to be a member to visit those places. Place is clean & nice. You need your own linens or u can rent them...which is weird. Why would someone travel with linens? Location is great.

Hostel, but too expensive.

I couldn't use their pillow, because of its smell. And one has to pay the same amount as the date rate for towel and linen.

Great value

This hostel is located in an old naval school from 1916 and converted to hostel in 1979. The rooms are spartan but so is the price. Breakfast is largely homemade and worth the extra money. For a small fee you can grab what you want from the breakfast buffet and make your own lunch pack to go.

Hvis man gerne vil kalde de 6 værelser på 2.sal for Hotel Vadehavet, og sætte prisen efter det, skal der gøres noget ved lydisoleringen, til etagerne nedenunder, hvor der typisk er mange skoleklasser på lejrskole. Ellers ganske udemærket.
