Kongensbro Kro — Hotel in Silkeborg Municipality

We booked this Hotel as my mom had stayed there 50 years ago with my dad and because there are not many other hotels in the area with such a nice location. ||||When we arrived we were met by a lady who gave us the key and told us to go downstairs to our room. We were not asked if we had any luggage or needed help with it. So we managed to drag it down two sets of stairs on our own. ||The room was small but clean except for an un-flushed toilet with a large "number two" floating in the toilet. Not very nice and very unacceptable! ||||We had not made reservations for dinner, but managed to be seated instead in the front room by the reception. We waited 15 minutes before our drink order was taken and then another 20 minutes to received it. We ordered 2 crab-tail soups. We waited 50 minutes and asked the only server there, if they had forgotten us. She replied that the soup was being made just now. Another 10-15 min later we finally received our soup. It was extremely salty and no crab tails or any kind of shellfish was found in the soup. It tasted like tin can gravy with added half a jar MSG (Monosodium glutamate or shellfish flavor enhancer cube) ||We mentioned that there was no shellfish in the soup and the owner Christian went to ask the Chef what had happened. He came back laughing to inform us that the Chef had forgotten to add it, but that he had used an essence instead for flavor since they did not have any crab tails for the crab-tail soup!!! ||How disappointing as the soup is the most expensive soup on the menu and it states (minimum 2 servings) for them to make it!! Needless to say we did not eat there again next evening.||(However after complaining we paid less.)||||We had a good night’s sleep, as the hotel is very quiet.||||Breakfast buffet was okay with lots of choices, but with all the tables busy we had to eat in the "Trophy" room, which was a challenge because all the walls are covered with Dead Animals with big fake eyes looking at you. Difficult enough to have to walk through it getting in and out of the hotel, but to spend time trying to have a peaceful breakfast with a nice view...it was needless to say very heartbreaking and challenging for a conscious person. So if you are an animal lover this place might not be for you.||When departing we paid the bill and here again the International customer service was void. No thank you for staying, come again, have a nice trip and not even any eye contact. ||If they ever get competition in this area they will have to add one more server and learn about...

Terrible. To call the food mediocre would be an insult to the word. The staff were also incredibly ignorant, extremely slow and moody. Why work in hospitality when you've got no charm or you're not hospitable?! Not being a native or Danish speaker, I couldn't understand the menu. The grumpy waitress acted like I was bothering her when she foisted an English menu in my general direction. The way the food was described in English, added to its unappealing nature. It was mostly an older crowd in groups and twosomes. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. Alcohol helped... The decor is dated, bland and horrendously boring. The cutlery mismatched. Dirty glasses. It was like being in a canteen of sorts. Like something out of an apocalyptic movie... Zero atmosphere. Coming from a large city, we thought it would be interesting to try something local and what I thought would be quaint. I would have been better off going to McDonalds. What a disappointment. The food was too salty, warm and cold in different spots and very limited in options. I dressed up to go to this dump, I could have been wearing muddy wellies and a vest, would have made no difference. Didn't stay in the hotel, but I somehow doubt it would be any more impressive. Definitely...

A country inn with a marvelous setting looking over the river and meadows, with not another building in sight. All rooms face this wonderful view and share the country quiet although the inn is in fact very close to the Aarhus - Viborg road and immediately accessible. Its charms are those of a comfortable old inn, not those of a modern city hotel. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. The restaurant is outstanding, serving variants on traditional Danish cooking, with an extensive wine list. A great place to eat and relax in the lovely dining room overlooking the gardens and river. The staff are welcoming and helpful, especially the owner/chef who is extremely hands-on, making all guests feel at home. Truly a great place for a relaxing stay, with a lovely patio for drinks before dinner in the...
