Have stayed at the hotel before, and also had our dog (less allergy-friendly dog, cairn terrier) with us without any problems. This time we saw an offer on Hotels.com where we could book 5 days in a Suite / Pool side, where we also had our daughter living at home with us (adult), as there was an additional room/room with a double bed. It just turned out to be a hard uncomfortable fold-out sofa that doesn't come close to comfort. We did segmentation on "Dog friendly", "Breakfast included" and "Pool". Hotels des Norden came up, so we booked, wrote that we were bringing our dog and that was it! We checked in, we walked our dog 3-4 times a day and passed the front desk each time, but on the 4th day of a day trip, we came home to our suite late at night and were greeted with a note our room - and we had to contact reception immediately. It was late and we had to go to bed and check out the following morning, so we waited to contact reception even on the morning we checked out. To our surprise they announced - on the last day and when we checked out that dogs were not allowed and that we would now have to pay for EXTREME cleaning! Well, hardly a more thorough cleaning than what met us - or others at the hotel, where rooms are more or less run-down and not renovated since 1984, stains on sofas, long-pile carpets, etc.? You enter a time machine. Well, we usually pay for the dog to stay the night, so we happily paid EUR 50 for her week's stay, but the suspicion that was distributed at the reception, the unfriendliness that is solely due to Hotel des Norden and/or Hotels.com would be fine book despite the fact that we always travel with our dog was informed - and otherwise check their off. website that it did NOT say that dogs were not allowed. We had done our preliminary work. The kind of unpleasant treatment you have to look for for a long time - and will of course stick around for many, many years. Their prices for the buffet EUR 39 are pure robbery....and we also chose to eat dinner "out in town" for the rest of the week. Brazen and pure theft in broad daylight. The place is outdated, worn, had its heyday in the mid 80s. Their receptionist is distinctly unpleasant and very unfriendly. There was so much that had gone wrong - and I can understand from other reviews that our experience is not alone. Your information is not up to date - and it really doesn't matter either. Even their newly installed EV chargers are not listed - and more and more hotels are choosing whether they can charge their electric car on site. In short - we have been there many times before, but this time - both experience means that we will never set foot - or put our money on the place again. Very unpleasant experience and will _NEVER_ recommend anyone to use Hotel des Nordens unless you are really pressed for an overnight stay. Never again!

Nice accommodation, for short holidays. An older hotel with continuous renovation, but not top modern like new hotels. Nice and clean and really friendly staff, which is probably the hotel's biggest plus. …

Was away in the autumn holidays, we had booked 2 rooms with 4 in each. At check-in. Could the receptionist only see that we had booked 2 people in each room even though it was a room for 4 people. She became very rude when I said it was 4 people per room I had booked. She said that for the price I had paid, only I could understand that it did not cover more than 8 people. By that time the queue behind me had grown to 12 to 14 people. Who could follow along in this farce. I found my order confirmation as well as an invoice where it appeared that I had booked 2 family rooms for 8 people.Then it turned out that it was strange but nowel. We got keys and could finally move on. This step took about 20 minutes. We have been here quite a few times.However, this gull has never been treated before.Our stay actually started really poorly.So therefore 1 star for rude and condescending receptionist

Absolutely horrible experience. We must have arrived at The Adams Family hotel in Flensburg. Clearly paranoid bath master, completely baseless accusing us of trying to cheat him. …

Absolutely horrible experience. We must have arrived at The Adams Family hotel in Flensburg. Clearly paranoid bathmaster who accuses us, completely unfounded, of trying to cheat him. The staff in the restaurant seem to do their best to be as hostile and unwelcoming as possible. And I haven't even mentioned the crazy inflated prices for a dinner buffet that makes the meatballs from Ikea look like gourmet food. Spare yourselves this experience.

I had booked a room for my parents directly at reception and told them about my father's disability. My father is a wheelchair user and therefore needs extra space. He had huge problems in the bathroom. I had the door removed and that helped a lot, but he still couldn't really get into the shower. There is a really large handicap toilet missing somewhere in the hotel that can be used if you are a wheelchair user.Evening buffet Hmmm. I will never do it again. €39 for the buffet is overpriced for the selection there is. Yes, there is a lot to choose from, but everything is everyday without anything particularly good.The breakfast buffet is well worth it. Large buffet with everything we Danes like.The staff is super friendly and definitely my biggest plus for having to spend the night there

Beautiful hotel with a great SPA area.At first glance it seems old, outdated. Then you are warmly welcomed, everything is explained and you were basically “picked up”. The second look/impression is: "quite a lot of money for the standard".But here it comes!Top-notch restaurant, great swimming area, great sauna area and a first-class breakfast :)We'll be back!!

From the outside, the hotel doesn't look inviting, and our comfort room is also in a building that looks a bit shabby, but.... what a lovely restaurant, and the food was really good, the room was top modern, a lovely stay

Many words can be put into it, but a well-worn hotel which has been partially renovated, the food was "fair" but for the price below average, cleaning, we can mention that we found dentures under the bed and a few other items..The steam bath was out of order, the rest of the pool/spa experience was "ok" otherwise incredibly nice receptionists and waiters 👍🏻

The hotel is poorly signposted and the path and parking lot are very poorly lit. I had room "01". The room had a separate entrance, which was almost impossible to find due to the poor lighting. The room was "okay" at first glance. What was shocking was the bathroom...shower much too small...incorrectly installed overhead shower...broken soap dispenser...missing shower partition (door)..sharp edge in exit area...sink burst... Toilet seat completely discolored and defective...all shelves bent and some broken out of the wall...This doesn't correspond to a 4 star hotel!Prositive: Reception was staffed 24/7, breakfast was satisfactory and the pool is heated and large! Unfortunately everything is getting old and you shouldn't look closely...as many complain! (Still 2 stars for that)With 4 stars and the price it should look different!It's a shame because the employees are otherwise very nice!

Huge but very outdated hotel. I didn't see the highly praised swimming pool on the way through and can't rate it. I had made my own booking error via the Booking portal regarding the arrival date. After over 2 hours and over 10 unsuccessful calls, no possibility of changing the booking was presented over the phone - and a new reservation could not be made over the phone. On site, Booking's statements that the change was purely a goodwill gesture on the part of the company were still vigorously denied, but were then able to be carried out after a telephone call with the department management. A superior room was booked with at least higher expectations; Unfortunately, it turned out to be a completely unspectacular, even poorly renovated, double room, which could also have been cleaned better (spiders in the shower, chewing gum in the sink and stains in the carpet). The endlessly long hallways are poorly lit and do not leave a safe impression. All in all, not a total failure, but an "interesting experience" - a shame!!

A hotel that needs a good cleaning.|It is worn and it is clear that this hotel is only intended as an overnight place in connection with shopping.|Their beds and pillows have also seen better times..! …

The whole thing is pretty ambivalent. You can see the age of the complex in every nook and cranny. Especially when you look at the back, you don't have high expectations. The hotel is also quite large; it consists of three houses grouped around a large parking lot. Where did we end up here was the first thought.The location:Immediately on the Danish border, either from the four-lane main road via a ramp to the parking lot. Or via a small side street to the parking lot. A Danish supermarket is directly attached.The roomThe room, including the bathroom, was in good condition and clean. Tastefully furnished, with a kettle for making tea and instant coffee. Despite the location near the main road, it was very easy to sleep with the window open. The room was perfect and recommended.The breakfast and the restaurantIn the evening there is either a warm buffet or a three-course menu.We got to know the buffet. It was rich, very tasty and felt quite high quality. Registration is required, exceptions will be made in a friendly and helpful manner where possible.The breakfast buffet is completely sufficient and of high quality.The atmosphere is not overwhelming but definitely cozy.The swimming poolThere is a connected outdoor and indoor pool. Although you can see a need for renovation in some places, overall the complex makes a well-kept and clean impression. In addition, the possibility of being able to swim 25m lengths in the outdoor pool is likelyHotel area can be quite unique. The indoor pool is significantly warmer than the outdoor pool. But that's okay, the indoor area is intended for relaxation and the outdoor area is intended for more sporting activities. An absolute recommendation!Summary:The first external impression does not continue inside. You can see the age here and there, but the facility appears to be well maintained.Overall recommended.

We were here for 4 days and it was so wonderful.There is a delicious and large breakfast buffet, which has everything you could want.There is a large pool which is both indoor and outdoor.The rooms were nice and the beds were really good to sleep in.I don't know if I think the location was so fantastic, but it depends a lot on what you are for 😄

Was welcomed by Danish-speaking staff. She stated that due to renovations we would have to change clothes in the room and then strut across the parking lot in swimwear - unless we wanted to rent a bathrobe. (In my opinion, this should have been free, given the circumstances).We rent robes and visit the so-called spa area. The temperature in the pool is quite nice, both outside and inside. But it surprises me that the pool is green along the edges of the bottom, (especially indoors) and there is also sand and other small dirt.The steam bath was faulty. There was an infrared sauna, which had to be operated by the staff on site. He forgot about me, so after 25 minutes I had to approach again.The experience of this area was not what we expected and therefore only used it briefly.When we are back in the room (in the presidential building), bearded dragons are crawling on the sofa. It makes me look around the room. Under the bed I find rubbish and behind the sofa a forgotten stuffed animal. Later we also find bearded cattle in the bed.Dinner consisted of lukewarm soup, followed by a piece of dry chicken and vegetables that were unfortunately overcooked.The dessert was quite unremarkable.The breakfast was a buffet consisting of several different types of bread, cold meats, dairy products, warm dishes and of course also drinks. There was nothing to delay. Unfortunately we won't be back.
