Holt Vacation Rentals

"I would not recommend Hotel Østersø. We arrived in Aabenraa for a 4-night stay for 4 guests in 2 rooms, costing nearly $900, and the property was nothing like what we expected from a functioning hotel. The building looked abandoned and poorly maintained, with broken glass near the front entrance/parking area. It did not feel safe or suitable for guests. There appeared to be no other customers there, and the property lacked basic hotel facilities and atmosphere. The condition of the building made us extremely uncomfortable, especially since we were traveling as a group and expected a clean, safe place to stay. This was not a normal situation where we simply changed our minds; we could not reasonably stay somewhere that felt unsafe and neglected. We immediately contacted Expedia for help and a refund, but the hotel refused to waive the cancellation policy. In my opinion, a cancellation policy should not apply when the accommodation itself is unsafe, not properly maintained, and not provided as advertised. This experience caused major stress, wasted time, and left us scrambling to find another place to stay. Guests deserve honest listings and safe accommodations. Based on what we experienced, I would strongly avoid this hotel."

"A bit of a mixture feelings about the place. Although in overall it looks great and sleep was comfortable, and the place was clean enough, the overall experience was somewhat mediocre for the price. Plus, perhaps expected too much from a 300+ years old tavern... The breakfast was rather basic, thought with fresh good bread."

"Breakfast was great. Clean hotel. Our room was tiny but efficient. Great for a short stay. Extremely walkable area. Was perfect for us."

"It was Ok, staff were helpful, breakfast was the usual, the whole place needs some love, there was a puddle on the landing on our floor with water dripping through the ceiling. Our bathroom had cracked tiles etc. "

"The room was just as expected. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. All staff that we met were very helpful and friendly. This hotel is in a great location."

"Excellent hotel, great service and good breakfast "

"The room could've been better with a double bed, but other than that there was nothing wrong with the place. It was perfectly located near the train station."

"Great place to unwind. Very friendly staff so a 5star hotel without the stiffness. Will hopefully return "
