Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Mixed reports: many guests praised clean, calm rooms but multiple reviews call out visible dirt (terrace with dirty table, ashtray and bottle left, ‘not proper’, mold in pool shower and uneven housekeeping). Overall cleanliness is a notable weakness.
Service
9
Consistently positive: staff described as helpful, friendly and smiling; staff resolved issues like replacing a broken crib. One minor service disappointment around quiet-hours policy, but overall service is a strong point.
Location
9
Frequently praised: great/unique location, beautiful garden, convenient parking (including EV charging) and good public-transport access. Several guests highlighted the site as a destination in itself.
Room Quality
8.2
Generally good rooms: comfortable, quiet and nicely decorated, some terraces and layouts praised. A number of comments mention too-firm mattresses and small/sloped family rooms, so room quality is positive but not perfect.
Amenities
7.8
Mixed: notable amenities like an indoor pool, sauna and private parking/charging are positives, but issues reported (pool shower mold, towels/sauna supplies not replenished on time, pool less appealing than photos) lower this score.
Value for Money
8.1
Mostly seen as good value by several guests (one said 'totally worth the price'), though some guests flagged extras (charged terrace) or cleanliness shortcomings that reduce perceived value for some visitors.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Strong positive sentiment: excellent breakfast repeatedly mentioned, plus good dinner and a well-regarded restaurant experience in several reviews.
Overall Experience
8.7
Overall positive: many guests call the stay restful, charming and worth a visit; minor issues (noise from other guests, lack of AC, some cleanliness/service lapses) temper but do not outweigh the generally pleasant experience.

Fint sted, men for dyrt i forhold til faciliteter.
Pros:

Hotellet er smuk ved ankomst og fælles områder nær receptionen er flotte. Personalet venligt.
Der var meget fint sat hundekurv og skåle frem til vores hund.

Cons:

Restauranten er lukket om søndagen. Værelset med terrasse var mindre end fotos gav indtryk af. Badeværelset lidt kedeligt, og værelset lettere slidt. Alt i alt synes vi det var for dyrt i forhold stedets niveau og beliggenhed. Det koster 495 kr oven i værelsesprisen, at have en hund med.
Morgenmaden er 185 kr pr person - lige til den høje side, så vi undlod at bruge det tilbud.

Pros:

Andreas in the bar did deliver great service

Cons:

Breakfast was below standard and expensive - I did stay at this hotel 3 years ago and the breakfast back then was excellent. Beds was not that comfy and pillows was small and not nice. I will not return or recommend hotel Scheelsminde

Wunderbarer Ort. Kommen für einen längeren Aufenthalt zurück, um den Pool zu probieren 😁
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, wunderschöne Anlage. Leider keine Parkplätze für Wagen mit Anhänger; aber das Problem konnte mit Hilfe des Angestellten gelöst werden. Das Frühstück war sehr, sehr gut: alles was gebraucht werden könnte in hervorragender Qualität. Zimmer mit Terrasse etwas klein, aber sauber und alles was nötig ist.

Cons:

Keine Parkplätze für Wagen mit Anhänger.
