My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The room I had in this 4-star hotel was absolutely beautiful and huge, which was a pleasant surprise. However, the absence of kettles was a drawback. The service was great overall, but there were instances of rudeness when guests requested simple items. The hotel's location, right in downtown Odense, was fantastic for exploring the city easily. The dining options were varied, but not exceptional. The facilities were good, offering the essentials one would expect.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were roomy enough but lacked space for our suitcases, and the location near the road made it noisy. However, it was conveniently located near restaurants and bars. The service was friendly, but the dining area was cramped. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.

I had a truly pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very large, elegant, and full of 'old world charm,' offering a comfortable experience. However, being in the annex above some shops with a view into public toilets on the street was a bit unsettling.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although spacious with a big bathroom, lacked any view and got quite hot on the 3rd floor. The service was exceptional with the friendliest staff I've ever encountered, but the lack of handicap-friendly features was a letdown. The location was superb, right in the heart of Odense, surrounded by shops and restaurants, perfect for exploring the city. The dining offered a decent selection, but nothing extraordinary.

I stayed in the annex part of the hotel, which was situated above some shops with a direct view into the public toilets on the street. The room was very small, dirty with dust everywhere, and several spots on the wall. It's not a place I would recommend.

Despite the central location, the room was noisy with foot traffic below, but with windows closed, it was bearable. The hotel is a convenient 8-10 minute walk from the train station and just 5 minutes from the charming main pedestrian street in Odense, perfect for exploring the city's attractions.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a comfortable environment to rest. However, opting for an executive room did not seem to provide the expected value for money. The service was exceptional, with staff being kind, professional, and accommodating. The central location was convenient, within walking distance to various attractions, although the presence of noisy street activity was a downside. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the option to make a real pot of tea. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel had very large and comfortable rooms, but some were quite small and lacked water or tea/coffee making facilities. The location was perfect with many restaurants nearby, but the view was blocked, and there was no day time parking available.

The hotel has a cozy atmosphere with well-equipped but noisy rooms. The beds weren't the most comfortable, and the radiator didn't provide enough warmth.
