The best available hotels & places to stay near Roskilde

August 8, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Home to the four-day Roskilde Festival, arguably the best European rock festival, hilly Roskilde is less than 20 miles from Copenhagen. If hordes of rock stars aren't pillaging the town of 50,000, the excellent Viking ship museum is Roskilde's prime attraction. Featuring five ships discovered at the bottom of the fjord, you can add to the Viking experience by rowing the fjord on an hour-long longboat trip. The town is also famed for its much adapted 12th-century Roskilde Domkirke Cathedral.

We were given a fabulous room with balcony overlooking the fjord which gave us a wonderful sunset. This great hotel has tables inside and out, with excellent breakfast and dinner. Garden takes you down to the waterside.

Scandic Roskilde Park

Peaceful two story hotel overlooking a park, located 1.5 km from the city center & historical sites; 1 km from railway station.

Will we stay again? Definitely Not.

Reviewed By d_vakis2020

We were extremely dissatisfied at the Receptions hospitality service. We were given a Go Dream gift card by a friend that we decided to use at Scandic Roskilde. The gift card was simple and stated clearly that it was an overnight stay with a 2 course dinner. On arrival we were handled by a woman at the reception who insisted we were offered the option of only wine or the 2 course dinner at the time of booking. This was not the case at all and our gift card clearly stated the 2 course dinner. The woman at reception actually said she manually changed it to accommodate our needs and told us she has our credit card details in file and once she double checks with the team at go dream on Monday she will proceed accordingly. It looked like she didnt trust what we said - for a 2 course dinner - than a bottle of wine?? Terrible hospitality service. The chefs 2 course dinner was a steak with fries and vegetables. Our order was taken where we said we would prefer the steak to be rare and the other medium rare. The steak was as dry as a cardboard and extremely overdone to which we were told they couldn't make any changes as this was cut from a larger portion that has been in the oven. We couldn't eat it lest our jaws fall out. However, our compliments to the chef for his excellent treatment of the vegetables which were delicious. We were asked how our dinner went - and we honestly pointed at the dry meat that we just couldn't eat. We were shocked that the chef could actually pass this for a guest! This is when the woman at the restaurant really lifted our mood as she saw this was certainly not fair and offered us another refreshment along with our dessert. Its a shame given that Roskilde is a fishing village and we could not see that reflected in the menu. We really wished we just ate outside the hotel in Roskilde. Are we going to stay at this hotel again? definitely not. This hotel shouldn't depend on Gift Card bookings if they cant offer a standard quality service to all their customers.

Had booked a Superior room w Hotels.com The room ( # 101 ) did not appear to be a Superior Double at all. Bathroom was only set up for 1 person, ( extra towels in the wardrobe cabinet ) and the room was really small, with no coffee maker or water boiler. There was a small table and 2 chairs. Thankfully we didn't travel with luggage except for 1 carry on size case, so we were able top open it. There is a very limited number of TV channels. Surely not what I'd call a 'superior' room. It appeared to be a very regular standard room. The phone doesn't have any instructions on how to reach the reception. Breakfast was nice, rather nice actually.

Three painful nights in Roskilde

Reviewed By Alex M

Soft, uncomfortable beds resulting in very poor sleep and a sore back. (Most hotels have far firmer mattresses). Also very variable service - ranging from good to very poor. Shame, because the location is excellent, breakfast is reasonable and there is good parking. However, as things stand, we definitely couldn’t recommend this hotel

Upscale Hostel

Reviewed By GlobeTrotterChicago

We did not receive a “pre-arrival” email advising us of a 5pm check-in and 10am check-out or the code to the main door. We arrived at 4:30pm and were rather confused and frustrated. We finally got in contact with the owner and were able to gain access. We had Room 1, but no safe and no key to the room. You could only lock the room from the inside. The Glorified Hostel is a solid 20 minute drive to Roskilde. The facility is clean and has a full kitchen, minus the food. There are some sweets and wine for sale, but that’s it. Not sure how this is a B&B, without the breakfast included or at least a banana on the counter. The rooms are very small and the bathroom is lacking basic amenities. On the positive side, the common room is large and comfortable and we enjoyed (our purchased in advance wine) on the balcony and watched the sun set over the fields. Plan on being out by 10am, as the cleaning ladies will be there and waiting....

Average experience unfortunately

Reviewed By Chx89

Sadly was not completely impressed. First dish with herring was fantastic, but second dish with fish was burned and tough to eat. The service though was extremely friendly and the bathroom facilities nice. But, again would point out the interior design to be average. Returning unfortunately would not be high on my list. Not good value for money.

Danhostel Roskilde

Disappointing

Reviewed By johnnyenglander

Our room was dirty, something resembling snot smeared next to one of the beds. The pillows very old. The toilet seat was broken, we reported it, nothing was done. Black mold in the shower. Breakfast was disappointing on the last day, we were told that rundstykker would not be made available until all the bread was eaten. Not very service minded staff. One would think that after three months corona virus lock down, they would have used the time to clean and renovate their rooms, alas No! On the positive great harbourside location, next to the Viking ship museum. Recommend you bring your own pillows if you choose to stay.
