Hotel Sønderborg Strand — Hotel in Sønderborg Municipality

Stayed in a superior room with sea view. Room was nice, clean, bright and with a large comfortable bed. |Tv showed a selection of channels of both local and from neighbouring countries, including BBC News.||Dinner meals at hotel restaurant was sub standard. |Starter was a tomato gazpacho soup which was ok. Main dish of beef ribeye was very generous in size but totally lacked seasoning. Asked for fresh ground blackpepper and was told it was not available and only the salt and whitepepper powder shaker at table was at hand! Baked potato was good but vegetables and sauce were not well matched in my view. Trying to be too elaborate but failing in understanding the basic fundamentals.||Second dinner meal was also if not a bigger disappointment. Starter of smoked salmon felt like it came straight from the fridge. Cold, hard and again poorly presented. Served with cold breadrolls, we asked for a little more bread which was frowned upon. However, warm breadrolls soon arrived, but without butter? Again, we had to ask if a little more butter was possible?||Main dish was a porkloin which was overcooked and dry. Vegetables, sallad and dijon sauce lacked flavour, seasoning and yet again presentation.|We had also pre-ordered one vegetarian meal which had been forgotten. The kitchen however apologetically and quickly cooked up a very nice panfried fish which was way better than our dry chewy pork...|Dessert was baked Alaska. Generous portion which tasted ok. Suspect that it was bought and not made by the hotel kitchen?||All in all, we found the food and service to be below what could have been expected. The restaurant was far from busy/full but getting the attention of the waiters was difficult as was their willingness to see to that we had what we needed. Simple things like replenishing water was not done without having to ask.||Breakfast was in contrast ok. Saw the chef come out several times to replenish. Selection and nutritional...

This hotel is blessed by its location near the sea (Fjord of Flensburg and Alssund) and its central location next to the castle. We had a nice room with a great view - helped by being there during some real summer days - and facilitties in the room were fine though the beds could have been better.||The restaurant was a disappointment - photos on the website offered more than the reality turned out to be - as food both for dinner and breakfast was typical catering-packed items with not too much flavour and excellence. Staff was nice and helpful. Sitting outside on the terrace was great but due to a staff shortage - we were told - you could not...

Normally you get friendly and great service in the group areas. Strange relationship with the dinner service as it requires a reservation 2-3 days in advance. Appears to me that this hotel does not cater to business traveler as access to the bar for coffee and restaurant access is infrequent. I found it difficult to get a cappuccino from the bar in the AM and PM. Rooms are clean but my tea pot was cracked and worked poorly. Rooms could use an upgrade but are functional and not small. Breakfast is good with fresh cheese, waffles, fruit, etc. Bread/rolls not high...
