Hotel Faaborg Fjord

I usually never write hotel reviews, but in this case I feel the need to – because I don’t want anyone else to fall into the same trap. This hotel advertises itself as a spa hotel, but when I checked in at 5:00 p.m., I was told the spa was already closed and wouldn’t reopen until the next morning. That makes absolutely no sense. Most guests want to relax in the spa after a long day, not in the morning. The spa was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel, so this felt like a bait-and-switch. I paid 1,300 DKK for one night – just for one person – and that didn’t even include spa access. That is by far the most I paid for a hotel during my three-week holiday, and none of the other hotels came even close in price – or in disappointment. Every single other place I stayed was better in every possible way. The room was small, outdated, and far from comfortable. It had a musty smell, and the bathroom had an unpleasant odor, especially when the water was turned on. Unless you are absolutely forced to stay here, I strongly recommend booking somewhere else. It’s hugely overpriced, outdated, and not at all what it claims to be.

The hotel was fine but we were taken a bit aback by the condition of the bathroom floor. Seemed dirty. For the prices per night, the room fell short of our expectations. The bed was really comfy and a plus for us. Tip of the hat to the nice lady who greeted us at reception desk. She was well spoken, professional & friendly.
