First Hotel Grand

Très bel hôtel, au charme typique. Chambre très confortable. Excellent emplacement.

We loved the hotel. Location, character, breakfast, staff all exceptional. Lovely to stay in a traditional hotel with high standards. The young staff members were particularly friendly and all staff seemed happy in their work. We had a very good dinner.

Nära stan och restauranger. Trevlig personal. Hundvänligt. God frukost.

Stemningen. Personalet. Elegante rammer.

Old world atmosphere beautifully served to a modern standard.

Old majestic hotel in the middle of the city centre. The rooms will soon need another renovation but they are large and comfortable enough. The staff was very nice and the breakfast amazing. One of the best I have ever had.

The First Hotel Grand Odense is a hotel with an impressive history dating back to the late 19th century. Over the decades, it has been expanded and modernized, giving the building a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort. However, the various additions and renovations have resulted in somewhat long and cumbersome pathways within the hotel, as well as an inconsistent look and feel—a minor drawback that also contributes to the hotel’s character.
Room & Amenities
My room was spacious, featuring a comfortable couch and a safe. Unfortunately, there was no refrigerator, which would have been practical for longer stays. The bed was very comfortable and inviting for relaxation. However, the lack of air conditioning was an issue: with the high temperatures during my stay, the room became quite warm. To make matters worse, one window could not be opened—and it wasn’t repaired during my stay—limiting ventilation and exacerbating the heat.
Breakfast & Service
The continental breakfast was a highlight: a generous buffet in a beautiful, historic dining room with a good selection of local specialties. The only downside was the single coffee machine, which led to short waits during peak times.
The service was consistently friendly and helpful—from the quick check-in and check-out to the small attentions throughout my stay. The staff made my experience pleasant.
Location & Surroundings
The central location of the hotel is ideal for exploring Odense. However, it was a bit noisy on the weekend due to the open windows (and the lack of air conditioning), as the street in front of the hotel is quite lively. A clearly marked unloading zone for guests with luggage would have been helpful, as it wasn’t immediately obvious where to find it.
Leisure Facilities
The fitness center was decently equipped, though towels and a drink dispenser would have enhanced the comfort.
Conclusion:
First Hotel Grand Odense is a charming hotel that impresses with its historic atmosphere, central location, and excellent service. A few minor issues—such as the lack of air conditioning, the broken window, or the long corridors—slightly detract from the overall experience but are not enough to discourage a recommendation. With a few adjustments, a stay here could be even more perfect.

Hotellet ligge meget centralt til byen med caféer og spisesteder. Det serveres en dejlig morgenmad med alt.

Prachtig hotel midden in het centrum. Heerlijk ontbijt en super vriendelijk personeel!

Kahvaltı harikaydı. Personel güleryüzlüydü. Konumu tren istasyonuna çok yakındı ve şehrin tam merkezindeydi. Minibar kullanımı ücretsizdi.

Petit déjeuner incroyable.
