The place is well run and comfortable, with coffee available 24 hours on the lobby level. The staff was great, extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is right next to the main square and a beautiful park.

Our arranged lunch here was delicious as well, so that might say something about their in-house restaurant. I might return here when the weather is a little warmer and enjoy their "beach"

The Best. Never had a better hotel experience on a business trip in my life…read more The room is small, just enough space for a bedroom and bathroom but perfect. As a 6'1" man, I have to maneuver myself in the bathroom but I manage as I am a man after all. The breakfast! Oh fuck! So great. I gain 20 pounds during my 2 week visit just because of the breakfast and bar. I highly recommend this amazing hotel to any Odense traveler.

The First Hotel Grand Odense is a hotel with an impressive history dating back to the late 19th…read morecentury. Over the decades, it has been expanded and modernized, giving the building a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort. However, the various additions and renovations have resulted in somewhat long and cumbersome pathways within the hotel, as well as an inconsistent look and feel--a minor drawback that also contributes to the hotel's character. Room & Amenities My room was spacious, featuring a comfortable couch and a safe. Unfortunately, there was no refrigerator, which would have been practical for longer stays. The bed was very comfortable and inviting for relaxation. However, the lack of air conditioning was an issue: with the high temperatures during my stay, the room became quite warm. To make matters worse, one window could not be opened--and it wasn't repaired during my stay--limiting ventilation and exacerbating the heat. Breakfast & Service The continental breakfast was a highlight: a generous buffet in a beautiful, historic dining room with a good selection of local specialties. The only downside was the single coffee machine, which led to short waits during peak times. The service was consistently friendly and helpful--from the quick check-in and check-out to the small attentions throughout my stay. The staff made my experience pleasant. Location & Surroundings The central location of the hotel is ideal for exploring Odense. However, it was a bit noisy on the weekend due to the open windows (and the lack of air conditioning), as the street in front of the hotel is quite lively. A clearly marked unloading zone for guests with luggage would have been helpful, as it wasn't immediately obvious where to find it. Leisure Facilities The fitness center was decently equipped, though towels and a drink dispenser would have enhanced the comfort. Conclusion: First Hotel Grand Odense is a charming hotel that impresses with its historic atmosphere, central location, and excellent service. A few minor issues--such as the lack of air conditioning, the broken window, or the long corridors--slightly detract from the overall experience but are not enough to discourage a recommendation. With a few adjustments, a stay here could be even more perfect.

Superb hotel in Odense. Rooms are huge, clean and comfortable. Staff is incredibly nice and…read morehelpful, seriously, best hotel staff I met so far in Denmark. They kindly helped us organise our visit at Egeskov castle. Breakfast is very diversified, we were able to eat a different breakfast every day. Note that breakfast ends at 9:30 which is a little early but still. I used the laundry service, and I thought it was quite pricy, but I guess laundry service is pricy in every hotel (and it was still 4 times cheaper than in Norway). The hotel is close to the train station, and near restaurants and parks. I highly recommend.
