Roskilde Hotels

Danhostel Roskilde: Respite down at the harbour!

Copenhagen was absolutely full! i was dropping my friend off at the airport and she was flying home and i needed somewhere to stay and i wanted to get to Tivoli for the night viewing - the only hotel that seemed to have a room was with a charge of 55 euro - which was supposedly cheap - phoned Roskilde and what a good idea! only 150 kroner - 15 or 16 euro and a 30 min drive on the freeway so well worth it and easy enough to drive back to Tivoli.
The staff member on the phone sounded very pleasant and helpful but i had to be there by 8 pm as in winter the opening hours are shorter being 8pm closing instead of 10pm in summer, which was no problem but it did mean i had to drive there to move in and get keys etc and then head back to Copenhagen to Tivoli.
There was a charge for sheets and towel but hey i was so happy with the price anyway such good value. I think breakfasts might have been separate as well.
The hostel was easy enough to find down at the harbour below the town centre and handy parking - a new complex with modern or contemporary arfchitecture and very clean!

Unique Quality: Nice setting down by the marina with lovely morning scenes, reflections on the water etc, birdlife, and only a few minutes walk to the should-see Viking Ship Museum and also i was luckily there for the Christmas market weekend just there at the marina so i ended up buying a few things made by locals which made some nice christmas gifts to send home to friends and family.
Especially since only a few years ago we found out that my Mums Dads Mum was Danish!

The rooms were very nice and warm with good heating and good hot water.
