Kronborg Inn

Kronborg Inn

8/10 Good
"Great location. Very comfortable beds. The rooms were really nice. The outside of the property, especially in the back could be repainted a little bit and clean up the walkways on the upper level in the rear. Good value, I would stay there again."

The Hadsten Solvang, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Property was clean and located within easy walking distance of the main downtown area of Solvang. One thing to note. The room we were in did have the A/C unit in the bathroom which was odd. Might not matter to some but it was a bit warmer when we went and it was different keeping the bathroom open to use it and then have it be extra cold in the smaller space of the bathroom when taking a shower in the morning or evening. Other than that nice property to stay in Solvang."

"Front desk staff was awesome, very friendly and helpful . They had a surprise for my mom's birthday in the room when we arrived which I appreciated. We stayed in the Wine Loft room was clean and spacious. Only problem was there was no really place to seat other then 2 desk chairs the microwave didn't really work , the fridge was dirty, old towels in the room, shower tub needs an upgrade. And no closet. Overall. I like the room."
