Very Good

This hotel is an absolute gem! With its breathtaking views of the serene lake and enchanting woodland trails, it's a nature lover's paradise. The restaurant offers culinary delights that tantalize the taste buds, and the breakfast spread is simply divine. The rooms are a haven of comfort, with plush beds and modern amenities ensuring a luxurious stay. Having had the pleasure of staying here twice, I can confidently say that nothing in the vicinity compares to the sheer magnificence of this establishment.
Staff are very friendly and speak English which is fab. I am learning danish but not proficient yet. Rooms r clean. The only complaints i have are that the danish pillows r too soft for me and that the rooms aren't sound proof so if your neighbour has their tv on it seems really loud in your room. It was my second stay here, breakfast is excellent, great choice of cereal, breads, scrambled or soft boiled eggs, bacon etc. Coffee is delicious too.
Very nice staff. Charming and clean hotell. Som parts of the hotelroom was a lite outdated, but clean and that is all that maters. Great view overlooking the water. Was not swimming weather at our stay but I bett it is amazing in the summer. Good breakfast. Good parking.

Gulvet i værelset ikke rent, men klistret. Manglende en stikkontakt ved spejlet i værelse. Sengen hård og havde bestilt dobbelt- seng men fik to enkelt senge der gik fra hinanden i løbet af natten. Meget dejlig beliggenhed
Hotellet ligger i en park
Gratis parkering
Litt slitte rom, men helt ok, og deilig med balkong
Enkelte lamper var uten strøm, noe vi meldte i fra om
Deilig morgenmad
Hyggelig betjening som ga oss en farvel-gaver
Og Skanderborg er en nydelig liten by
Anbefaler for mat Kokken&Wokken
Overraskede meget positivt. Gratis kaffe og te i lobbyen. En vand og æble til at køre videre på. Ikke noget de behøver men gjorte man følte sig mere velkommen. Og så er det jo flotte omgivelser.

Ikke en gentagelse hver
Hotellet ligger i en meget slidt bygning hvor der trænger til en voldsom renovation vil altid være forsøgtrenoveret men fremstod rodet og slidt
Afløbet var stoppet så vandet løb ud over det hele og sengene var virkelig dårlig

Det ligger virkelig dejligt, men det er et træt sted.
Sengetøj og håndklæder rene.
Når man kommer sent, står der en kuvert med ens fulde navn og nøgle til værelse. Det bryder jeg mig ikke om.
Restaurantionspersonale søde og maden fin. Garniture passede ikke til maden, jeg fik, men var det, der fulgte med dagens ret.

Dejligt ophold, men fæl lugt.
Dejligt ophold, men det første værelse vi fik lugtede af kloak. Vi fik så tilbudt en værelse ved siden af og det lugtede også af kloak. Vi blev på værelset, og sagde det til personalet da vi forlod hotellet. Håber de får det fixet, for det lugtede fælt.
