Vestsjaelland, Denmark Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Large hotel on the outskirts of town. We arrived at 3 pm on a Sunday, the hotel was locked and lights out. We banged on the door and a guy let us in, said there would be no staff on duty until 5pm. I spotted our keys on the reception desk so we did get into our rooms. Just after 5pm I went to reception to book a table in the hotel restaurant only to be told it wouldn't be opening that night. We were directed into town to eat. Breakfast the following morning was fine, only two other guests were dining. The restaurant was closed that evening too, so was the bar. I have stayed here before and It's always been satisfactory, maybe just a one off poor stay.

Would suit family groups of travellers better than couples - plenty of space to sit and have a coffee around the hotel, and the breakfast space was large (though resembled more of a conference room where there happened to be food rather than a restaurant). Bathrooms are tiny, without separate shower compartments, so the floor gets very wet. Reasonably clean. Not sure whether there are enough eating options locally to get you through a stay of more than a couple of nights - the menu for the restaurant in the hotel looked good, but was incredibly expensive.

Staff friendly. good breakfast. The room is too basic for this cost. The curtain do not have blackout, therefore it not ideal for summer. The ground floor room is good for wheelchair users.

Best breakfast in Denmark. Hotel was bright and cheerful, and very central.

Staff friendly and helpful. Good base for visiting the area with its countryside and historic buildings in Soro.
