  • Bed & Beach

    Møn, Falster & Lolland

  • Piccobello B&B

    Southern Zealand

    Pleasant but unremarkable, Piccobello's selling point is that it's the nearest B&B to Vallø Slot, 2km away. The setting feels a tad suburban, towels are…

  • Danhostel Køge

    Southern Zealand

    Though pleasant for the greenery of its setting, the edge-of-suburbia feel is a little odd and not especially convenient for visiting the town centre, 2km…

  • Hotel Troense

    Funen

    Perched above the harbour, Hotel Troense's great trump card is its location. The main 1905 building has a rectilinear glass-fronted restaurant grafted on…

  • Ebsens Hotel

    Møn, Falster & Lolland

    Ærø

    Very few places on Ærø have en-suite bathrooms so if that's important to you, you might consider this architecturally challenged, 100-room business-style…

  • First Hotel Twentyseven

    Admittedly, the First Hotel Twentyseven is looking a little tired. Rooms are generally small, though the minimalist styling and cool furniture offer…

  • Hotel Nørrevang

  • Hotel Sønderborg Garni

    Southern Jutland

    Friendly service and a prime location in an upmarket residential neighbourhood sweeten the gloomy appearance of this small hotel (complete with turret)…
