“Perfect for our needs”

In Roskilde for a wedding and this was the perfect place to stay. Lovely views but close enough to everywhere. Fantastic staff, lovely room and amazing free donuts in the afternoon(though not on sundays when even the bar was closed) Buffet breakfast ok

We have travelled extensively so are well aware of variations in standards and quality of accommodation and restaurants and were aware that Denmark is a relatively expensive place to visit but we were unprepared for the vagaries of what is essentially a hotel catering for conference/corporate guests rather than holiday tourist families/couples. We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Viking Ship Museum and the fact that there were several smoking areas (we always check that), so after several days in Copenhagen, we took the train to Roskilde. We took a bus from the station - research indicated that the distance from the bus stop to the hotel wasn't far BUT if only we'd known that it was all uphill! We would've taken a taxi if we'd known. After struggling with our cases uphill for some distance (maybe half a mile?) we arrived at the hotel puffed out and tired from the effort -definitely not for the elderly, faint-hearted or unfit! Lunchtime had passed but we still needed something to eat so after finding our room - downstairs - we headed to the bar for something to eat. We had a bar snack (a toastie or similar) with a coffee then checked out the outdoor areas - well set up and not many people around. Our room was comfortable enough but not stylish in either decor or amenities. But the restaurant ......breakfast was adequate with sufficient choices but for dinner there was not much choice and certainly on the expensive side. It was clear to us that this hotel caters for conference/corporate guests who have their costs paid for by their employer........ not for families or couples paying their own way. This probably explained why there weren't many in the restaurant for dinner - they'd all gone into town where there were more dining options at better rates. It's also a hotel for people with their own car. When we went into Roskilde town and saw how many great restaurants, bars and cafes were there, we were reminded of how much better our trip to Roskilde could've been if we'd stayed in town and just travelled to the Viking Ship Museum and the church with the coffins of the past monarchs (well worth a visit). While the hotel management can't change some of the issues I've raised, they could improve in a couple of areas.......by offering a shuttle to and from the bus stop and providing more choices in the restaurant.
