Great hotel with a great location in the centre of Ribe, perfect if you want to explore the city by walking. Parking was the public parking spots that are within a ten minute walk, this was not ideal for us since we had a stroller and suitcases it was a little hassle but if you can travel light without strollers you will be absolutely fine. It was a little unclear where our room was in the hotel since the doors were all open of the rooms so we didn't understand but found out eventually. We got a very big room that had a very cosy interior in Danish style. Beautiful windows that had a beautiful view on the church of Ribe. We didn't know there wasn't an elevator which was also not ideal with the stroller. This hotel is not recommend when you are a wheelchair user. We also found forgotten underwear from another guest in the bathroom closet so I guess the cleaning could be a little better. Overall we had a great stay, the atmosphere of the hotel and room made it a very memorable stay and the reason of 5 stars, that and the location.

It's first restaurant visited in Denmark, so I cannot compare to others or talk about prices. Also note is only for food, as I did not stay in the hotel. It was clean, cozy place and service was quick and polite. Food was good and solid portion, so nothing to complain really. I can recommend it and would eat here again with pleasure. Not entirely convinced that my five star grade is fair, and should be closer to 4.5, but because current average is lower than that, four would be even more unfair.
Amazing lunch at the restaurant. While the service was a bit slow, we had a great time to enjoy this hearty food and drink . Portion sizes were great. It was, so far, the best "shooting star" I've had, albeit I am not from Denmark... My wife loved her mushroom sauce.
We were quite satisfied with the food and very satisfied with the local beer. Very big portions. Because we have some allergies, they changed the meals so that they were perfect for us. In many restaurants they only leave off the things we are not aloud to eat, here they added something else to replace for example peas in our portions. The fries were a bit too salty for my wife's taste and part of the salt had spread on her schnitzel also when finishing the portion. We had to wait quite a long time for the main courses (we started with a mixed salad) which is the main reason to give only 4 stars.
