Kolding is an industrial city with shipbuilding one of its main businesses. Other businesses include machinery and textile manufacturing and livestock export. It is easier to find a hotel that is geared for business people than for family vacations and this is likely due to the industrial nature of the area. The top 5 recommended hotels in Kolding are:

First Hotel Kolding
The First Hotel is a basic hotel but it is clean and reasonably priced. It is part of one of the best hotel chains in Denmark. The rooms are pleasant but do not offer much other than the bed. There is no sofa to relax in while you chat. While some guests have not been impressed by the staff’s attitudes, other guests have praised the service. Also the breakfast is excellent.

Scandic Kolding South

This is a no frills hotel and there seems to be little attention to detail. But the price is reasonable. The restaurant prices were not so good and this is too bad as the restaurant does not have much else to recommend it. For instance, there is not a lot of choice of food. The breakfast, which is complementary, is surprisingly good given that the other meals are not so great.

Kolding Byferie
Kolding Byferie is situated on Lake Slottsö, which is beautiful and even has swans. There is also shopping a few meters from the hotel and the railway station is close to the building. Breakfast is not included in the price and it is not cheap but there are other restaurants close by. One of the good things is that you can rent a suite as well as a room. Since the rooms are small, the suite can easily accommodate you.

Hotel Koldingfjord
The Koldingfjord has large rooms and offers room service. There is an indoor swimming pool. It is an elegant place to stay and its closeness to the fjord makes for a great view.

Saxildhus Hotel
This is an historic hotel, more than 170 years old. The rooms are a good size and clean. The bathroom is very big which is a surprise as most Danish hotels seem to have small bathrooms. The location is very convenient location and the service is great. This is not the best price bargain in the area but the hotel does have a lot of charm, if you are into that kind of thing.

Gladsaxe has a population of 62,000 and is considered to be a lively city with a rich cultural and social life as well as natural surroundings that are beautiful. When it comes to accommodations in Gladsaxe, there are not a lot of choices. Of the following reviews, only the Leda is located right in Gladsaxe. The other hotels are not far from Gladsaxe so they can meet your accommodation needs for Gladsaxe.

Leda
The Leda Hotel is conveniently located near transport routes, the airport and the downtown area of this Kopenhagen suburb. The hotel atmosphere is cozy, historical and sophisticated without being overwhelmingly so. Gladsaxe is considered a posh area of the country and as such is not heavily endowed with chain hotels.

Scandic Eremitage
In nearby Lyngby, the Scandic chain hotel is a good choice for those visiting the Gladsaxe area. It is located in a suburban shopping mall which offers a lot of convenience for those who want choices in basic restaurants and the ease of shopping. The Eremitage may be a little run down with the wear and tear showing in the floors and the rooms but the staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast is great. The most important aspects of hotels is the beds and these beds are wonderful.

Hotel Frederiksdal
Another Lyngby hotel, the Frederiksdal is set on the river, near the lake. This location is the best part of the hotel so ask for a lakeside room. Otherwise, the hotel does not offer anything too spectacular in the way of rooms or food.

Hotel Ebeltoft Strand
The hotel is locat in Ebeltoft, about 11 km from Gladsaxe. It is a sprawling low-rise hotel and all the rooms overlook the sea. The ground floor rooms open right into the garden and a path to the sea shore. The rooms are large and there is a great play area for children outside and a children’s room inside with video games and other things for children to play with.

Hotel Wittrup Motel
Wittrup Motel is located at Albertslund, about 13 km from Gladsaxe. It is easy to travel from the Wittrup to any of the Kopenhagen region as there is a lot of public transportation as well as roads and highways. It is close to Vestskoven forest and the Ishøj beach. The Wittrup was founded by an American so the style is American.

Gentofte is an upscale suburb of Kopenhagen but the hotel prices are somewhat lower than in the heart of Kopenhagen. Nevertheless they are not cheap as Danish costs are generally higher than in some other countries and certainly higher than in the United States. The top 5 recommended hotels in Gentofte are:

Gentofte Hotel
The Gentofte is a charming little place that is very clean and the rooms are a good size. They are large enough to contain a big chair and a desk as well as the bed. The hotel also provides free wifi. The food is not as good as in some other places but guests have praised the breakfast (not included in the price of the room). (Hotel details and price comparison here..)

Hellerup Parkhotel
The Hellerup is in the middle of Gentofte. This makes it quite convenient and of course it is near Kopenhagen which makes it even more convenient. However the rooms are not large and that is a bit of an understatement. In one review, the guest reports having to put the mattress on the floor as the bed itself was too cramped in an alcove of the room. There is free wifi and also free internet terminals on each floor. (Hotel details and price comparison here..)

Skovshoved
While not the cheapest of the hotels in the area, this is a seaside (one block from the beach) hotel that is only 15 minutes by bus to the center of Kopenhagen. The staff is gracious and welcoming. The place has a historic feel while being quite modern at the same time. The rooms have little extras such as sweet and Molten Brown toiletries. The food is excellent. (Hotel details and price comparison here..)

Schæffergården
This hotel is located in an 18th century hunting lodge. The rooms all overlook a park and are well equipped with a work desk and a tea/coffee maker along with the standard cable TV. The location is lovely and a vacation in itself. Even though it is in the suburbs, it is only 8 km from the center of Kopenhagen and very close to the Jægersborg Dyrehave Park where you can canoe and go horseback riding.

Bernstorff Palace
The hotel is actually an 18th-century palace. It was the summer residence of Christian IX of Denmark until 1906 and a lot of the old majesty of the place still lingers. For instance, there is a rose garden and an orangery. As well as being historic and beautiful, Bernstorff Palace is convenient. You can walk to Gentofte Station in less than 20 minutes and the Copenhagen Central Station is a mere eight stops away.

Hotel Ansgar
Hotel Ansgar is right in the heart of Esbjerg at Torvet square. It is not far from the forest or the beach. There is an 18-hole golf course nearby and also a pedestrian shopping district. The service is excellent and the staff seems willing to go the extra mile for the guests. This is a lovely central hotel.

Britannia Hotel
Hotel Britannia rooms are modern and have all the usual conveniences including wireless internet access. It is close to the train and bus terminals. The beds are notably comfortable and the rooms are clean and sunny. The accommodations and service are excellent for the relatively low price. The only thing to note is that with centrally located convenience, you do run the risk of traffic noise. (Hotel details and price comparison here..)

Olympic Esbjerg City Scandic
The Scandic Olympic hotel is located close to Esbjerg harbor and the ferry link. It is part of the Scandic chain and a lovely comfortable place to stay. It is clean and modern. Some guests have mentioned that the rooms are not all renovated and the place does get hot at night but you can open the windows to cool off the room. If you like the harbor view, ask for a room on the front of the hotel. The food is good at the Scandic Olympic but there are other choices of eating places within walking distance. (Hotel details and price comparison here..)

Cabinn Esbjerg
The Cabinn Esbjerg is just a few meters from the main shopping street, Kongensgade, in Esbjerg. The hotel was rejuvenated in 2005 and is a top notch chain hotel with budget rooms as well as large suites. All the Cabinn Esbjerg rooms are non-smoking rooms. The hotel has also tried successful to install soundproofing so that the convenience of location is not overrun by the sound of traffic and pedestrians outside the hotel.
