The hotel room was clean and quiet. The frosted glass bathroom and shower in the room was a little strange but for a couple it was OK. We didn't use the breakfast.

"A very nice stay in Silkeborg. Lovely helpful staff at check-in. Nice and spacious suite 9 in the old building. I wouldn’t choose a room in the main building which has the feeling still of an old hospital in the corridors. The hotel has a very nice garden setting and peaceful location just outside the city centre and close to a beautiful lakeside swimming area. Easy parking onsite. Lovely lounge and bar area with board games for evening relaxing and nice breakfast room with outside over the gardens. Included breakfast was good but only available until 9:30am. Restaurant onsite is ok but expensive. Would stay again and recommend if booking the high tier room type."
