Odense Homestays

The good things first. The location could not be more central, right around the corner from the Odense Central Station. Moreover, most of the people who work here are kind and welcoming. I'm not even sure that the person who upset me (more on that later) meant to be cruel. This would likely be a great place for young people to stay. But the rooms are tiny and in my own room one of the beds was a bunk, which I could not have climbed to even if I needed to. But what bothered me was the policy on checkout, which was 11 AM, an hour earlier than I am used to. As it happened, I slept in and was a little late getting myself together in the morning: I'm almost 70 and partially disabled. Precisely at 11:15, there was a firm, loud knock on the door -- the kind that would make you think the police were about to come in -- and I was told I ”should have been out 15 minutes ago!” (I'd actually thought of calling down to the desk to let them know that I'd be a few minutes late but there was no phone in the room.) I told them I'd be out in a moment and appeared at the front desk about 7 minutes later. I complained at the desk and they calmed me down a bit. Still, one wonders if such ferocity was in order, particularly toward an elderly man, just trying to do things as quickly as possible, with no phone at his disposal. I didn't see another visitor in the hotel -- there may have been some but it was by no means crowded. Most hotels will give you at least a half hour's grace period -- an hour is more standard. And if they needed me out so urgently, couldn't somebody have put it more graciously? I felt like an intruder. I've tried to be fair here but the experience made me miserable for the rest of the day.

This is the perfect location to walk everywhere in the city. We were worried since there was no onsite parking, but we were easily able to find a spot on the street near the hotel. You are close walking distance to everything in the city. The breakfast alone is worth the stay! It was delicious and such a great selection!

I was 3 nights at Miling 19. The second night I asked you to come to solve a constant noise that made the radiator of my room and that the previous night prevented him from sleeping. Without making any questions, they changed my room and gave me the next day's breakfast. The room is very good and abundant and is very good and is very good and is very good and is very good and is very good and is very good.

It’s very convenient to the opposite side of the train station. I thought about other hotels like Lishao but I thought about dragging the boxes and didn’t want to go too far. It proved very wise. The town is also very quiet. There is a very cheap and delicious Thai-style meal at McDonald’s in the train station. Chinese stomach ate two breakfasts in the hotel but the breakfast room was nice and the park room was big.

This was our first long holiday, since last years weekend away. It's central to all the places, we wanted to do in the city. Even though it was busy (3.30pm), the reception staff 100% on the ball. We were assigned room 219. So that everyone knows, all room have names etc from H. C. Andersen or others (I think🤔 ) on the doors. Going in the room was hot, and that's when my husband told me, there is no air conditioning. Now we've been to hotels in Germany, Austria etc, and all have had air con. So I was surprised that most of the hotels in Denmark doesn't 🤯. I told my husband, as the weather forecast stated that there will be a heatwave. We couldn't keep the window open when we were out, or at night. Fyi there was a fan in the room ( that really didn't help). So we went back out to the reception, to ask if we could change rooms. We was given a new key card (317), to look at a room on the 3rd floor. This was better, so we moved all our gear, and returned room (219) card. (Another fyi) when you leave the room, you take the key card out of the slot near the door, that cuts most of the power off. So we couldn't keep the fan on, but the window was open. 219 room's bathroom, was all new with auto sensors on the sink tap, but in room 317, it's was normal taps. And the bathroom was a bit dated. As I'm 5ft 4ins, it was really, and I mean rally hard to reach the taps at the far end of the bath tab. As the shower screen was not movable. I have to get my husband 6ft 3ins, to reach in (umm after the rain shower wet him. The switch over from shower to bath was kinda broken), to turn on the tap for the bath. I was surprised once again, that there were on mini fridge (luckily we brought our cooler box with us), or any toiletries, apart from the hand soap. If you mean any you either have to buy at the reception (did smell nice), or to the nearby shops to buy some. I do like a try/buy pillow catalogue, pity there wasn't one for the mattress. I'm sorry, but like the name of our room Princess and Pea. The mattress were rock hard, and both of us had back pains (that we both had to take pain killers during our stay). Car parking, is not the hotel one, but the city one. It's the cheapest and right next to the hotel, but my husband said it was strange that it wasn't hotel parking. As you have to be lucky to get a parking spot (and pray that there are no double parking, as one person parked over the line, so that no one can park next to them 😡). The rest of the parking lot in the city are costly. Oh and the buy one get a drink free offer, is not good. As the drinks are very expensive, more that a normal bar price...thank to the bar staff who made a not too strong drink, that my husband wanted me to try. Now for the good stuff. Like all the photos of the hotel, that's what you see...and wow! I couldn't stop taking photos lol. We booked for breakfast included, and we're glad we did. There were hot and cold to chose from. Tea and coffee, and a wow drink machine f
