Another great stay.
Pros:

We have stayed at Medehamstede Hotel last year and liked the experience. This year we booked again and requested the same family room with bunk beds, which was just perfect for us - spacious, clean, quiet with wonderful high ceilings. Great, old-fashioned breakfast with gigantic tea and coffee pots served by kind and smiley staff. Good value for money as well. The hotel might not be everybody's cup of tea, it's quite quirky with interesting decor (think 80s extravaganza) but we will be back!

Cons:

We liked pretty much everything about it.

Pros:

Easy to find, customer service was good but didn't need to complain

Cons:

Could not find the off road parking, and main entrance was not close to the parking area, but more building design than owners issue. The carpark had 2 coaches in the carpark area blocking view of the parking area so parked on the side street for the night. Ensuite was a little cramped, but most ensuite are

Very worthwhile
Pros:

This is an older hotel from the time that everyone holidayed in their own country
Bright interior
Spacious
Very helpful staff
Very good breakfast
Everything worked
On site bar
I believe that the reception was manned 24 hours a day

Cons:

It's quite a hike from the railway station
As bookings were quiet the hotel shut down for a week the day after my stay (this is Easter)
Doors had received too much paint over the years aand were hard to open
