Danhostel Ribe

I wasn’t sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in the “hotel” part of the hostel. I think this is very good value, especially considering the other options in the town. The room was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. Pretty basic in terms of decor/furnishings… but the beds were comfortable and that’s what matters! The Washroom is much more hostile than hotel, reminded me of summer camp or a dorm room. But it was private, and clean. There was only one chair for lounging, but that was fine for us since we were out walking around, enjoying the town/region, and eating some delicious meals in nearby restaurants. There is no elevator to the second floor where we stayed, so that might be an issue for some people. We had a room overlooking the canal, and the sun came in in the afternoon, it was quite beautiful. Although there was construction going on right outside our window by the looks of it, we were there on a weekend and weren’t bothered by it. Breakfast was Danish style, self serve. A variety of breads, meats, cheeses. Hard boiled eggs. Yoghurt and muesli. Juice, coffee and tea. Good value, worth what they charge. We were there on a weekend so parking was free. I noticed that the hostel rents bicycles, which I wish we had done.

Das Danhostel ist vom Bahnhof Ribe aus gut zu Fuss erreichbar und bis zum Stadtzentrum sind es nur wenige Minuten. Wir waren in einem geräumigen, sehr sauberen Zimmer mit eigenem Bad, TV und schöner Aussicht. Sogar Ohrstöpsel waren vorhanden; diese brauchten wir jedoch nicht, weil es sehr ruhig im Hostel war. Das Frühstücksbuffet war hervorragend (bis 9:30 Uhr; Marmelade, Nutella, Knäckebrot - alles hausgemacht). Auch die Mitarbeitenden sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Auberge très bien située, propre, moderne et bien tenue. Plutôt fréquentée par des familles et des seniors. Chambre familiale (pour 5) très bien agencée, avec salle de bain privée. Cuisine commune très bien équipée et propre. Possible de manger dedans ou dehors. Salle de jeux pour enfants (jouets et déguisements), bac à sable, baby-foot, ping-pong, billard, gymnase, mur d’escalade… Petit-déjeuner danois classique, un peu limité à notre goût surtout pour les jeunes enfants. Prix un peu élevé si on ajoute le petit-déjeuner et les draps mais c’est la norme au Danemark et je pense que cela reste la meilleure solution d’hébergement, surtout en famille.
