Really nice historic hotel
Pros:

Really lovely historic hotel in center of Odense, very beautifully decorated throughout hotel. Rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing,

Cons:

Guests should be informed beforehand that housekeeping wouldn’t be provided, only if requested before 11pm the night before. I accept it’s an eco friendly approach, but as not all travelers from different parts of the world know about these eco friendly policies, it would be important that guests be informed during check in.

Vi skal helt klart tilbage
Pros:

Der var en virkelig behagelig stemning og placeringen ift. Odense centrum er perfekt. Det er nemt med parkering og man får et godt ophold for pengene. Morgenmaden er formidable! Sengene var gode og det var en rigtig god oplevelse.

Cons:

Vores værelse lå i en sidebygning lige overfor p huset. Det betød rigtig meget larm og ballade som gav en urolig nattesøvn for vores vedkomne. Men det Er jo afhængigt af hvor man bor henne på hotellet.

Det er et hyggeligt hotel, jeg kan godt lide gamle bygninger - besøget blev som forventet
Pros:

Beliggenheden er helt i top
Morgenmaden helt perfekt
Et ledigt stik ved hver seng til mobil-opladeren, det er godt

Cons:

Vi var heldige med vejret, årets første sommerdag.
Trods åbent vindue fandt jeg dynen for tyk - sover hjemme året rundt med en sommerdyne. Spurgte til, om det var mulighed, men det var det åbenbart ikke.
På vores Queens -værelse for 2 var det ikke muligt at sidde to ved et bord, så vi sad begge i sengen og streamede på vores bærbare - men jeg kan ikke klage over det, havde jo set billederne.

God beliggenhed.
Pros:

Lækker morgenmad.
Gode senge.
Udendørs areal som man kunne sidde i solen og nyde sin kaffe.

Cons:

Meget larm fra gaden om natten. Varmt værelse og vinduet kunne kun åbnes 3 cm.
Begge gange har bruseren været i stykker.
