Best Augustenborg Hotels

Breakfast is ok, but not suitable for Chinese people to eat. Most of the cold things. The room is small. It is the feeling of the motel. The price is not high. We were a little disappointed when we first arrived.

This hotel is hidden up a small rough road. Very few signs to help you find the place. It is designed for looks, not practicality. There are unexpected steps that make it hard to use for many with reduced mobility . The room was accesible only through two failry high step, and out to the small balcony a surprisingly large step down. There are many more stepts around the hotel. Ahead of check-in you receive a code for the door and everything about the room is on an app/website. Not sure if there is a front desk. The room is stark and minimalistic. Basic furniture. A small armoir holds a fridge and a hair dryer. A fairly large TV has lots of channels. The work desk is small and there are precious few electrical outlets. good WiFi. The bed is fine with large douvets and a couple of pillows. The batroom is very minimalistic. Very small sink. A shower stall with only a partial glass divider, so the floor in the general bathroom tends to be soaked. The shower itself had hot water, but alas the sink did not. The very small sink had an automatic faucet, i.e. it was near mpossible to fill the sink to shave. That did not matter much, as the water never came above tepid. Very little space to put down your toiletries. Wall mounted dispenser of shampoo and conditioner. Almost no ventilation so everything fogs up. Daily maid service. Breakfast is in a neighboring building in what looks like an old basketball court. It was a good spread with lots of cold cuts, cheeses, breads, cereals, fruit etc. Some scrambled eggs and bacon as well. Very friendly attendants (Joey and Patricia) who kept kept the place neat and well stocked.

A beautiful new waterfront property which strives for the stars. Even the side rooms have a view. It was the high season and the hotel was fully booked, which may have attributed to minor hiccups in the service due to insufficient staffing. Although our room was a side room near back landside corner on the second floor we still had a reasonable river view. The 16th floor is an open viewing platform (Point of View) and provides a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of the area. A must visit. Go there after 7 p.m. when it only is open for the hotel guests. Entrance is free, get a key at the front desk. Breakfast was excellent with a wide range of food, but strangely enough no orange juice. We didn't try the main restaurant, instead eating at the bar where the snacks were delicious and well presented. We didn't try the 17th story 1-starred Michelin restaurant. Rooms are tastefully appointed, with motor-controlled elevation beds. One USB port is provided on each side of the bed and at the desk. Motion activated bedside floor lighting makes nighttime visits to the bathroom easy. But the bathroom lacks this feature. A half width sliding door between the bathroom and bed gives a choice of privacy or through-the-room outside views. However, the sliding door does not provide adequate sound proofing of flatulence. We also used the large, beautiful spa with sauna, pools, steam room etc. There are also two large outdoor whirlpools with a great river view. You must book a 3-hour slot in advance at a cost of 295 DKK per person. The spa café also provides light snacks, with healthy as well as alcoholic drinks. The waterfront was also part of the third stage of Tour de France in 2022. It's a short walk along the waterfront to Sønderborg fortress, and in July you may see the royal yacht berthed there, since the queen regularly spends some time in the summer at Gråsten castle about 10 km west of Sønderborg. But do not expect over the top staffing and service with valet parking, bell hops to carry your baggage, a professional concierge desk and you might find at Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. But it is a top-notch excellent hotel with a modern Danish minimalistic design, I would probably consider this the best hotel in Denmark outside Copenhagen.
