CABINN Esbjerg Hotel, Esbjerg

Advantages: Slap bang in the centre of Esbjerg, not made of Lego or bacon.
Disadvantages: Old and it shows.

...If you want a decent place to stay in the centre of town, this is probably going to be the cheapest option. Clean and cosy rooms, friendly staff, breakfast included and within crawling distance of most of the town's watering holes. Local Info: If you take the ferry to Denmark from the UK, Esbjerg is the town you end up in. The centre of the town is a pedestrianised shopping street, and at its heart is a wide open square flanked by pavement cafes. If anything is happening in Esbjerg this is where it will be, and the Hotel Ansgar is just round the corner. Some distances: About a ten-minute walk to the ferry terminals for the UK and for Fano, a small island just off the coast which is well worth a visit. 5 minutes the other way takes you to the train and bus station. Esbjerg airport is out of town, 10-15mins by taxi. The tourist... Read review

Advantages: Cheapest in town, clean, nice building.
Disadvantages: Only just in town, bit like going to a boarding school.

Positives. * Cheapest prices in town - 120kr (10GBP) for a bed in a shared room, and a single room from 310kr (30GBP), although you need another 35kr(3GBP) to join the hostelling organisation if you aren't already a member. * Clean rooms, clean sheets. * A good communal area with a nice big, clean kitchen, internet Access, and a TV lounge. * In a quiet area, and with the curfew you can be assured a good night's sleep. * Friendly guests...

Advantages: Beautiful Country
Disadvantages: It can smell

...I feel all inspired! I thought maybe I could write a little something on Denmark as a country. I have spent so much time in Denmark that it's my second home, but as it's where my mum was born, that's hardly surprising. It's not possible to cover every little nook and cranny in Denmark (buy a guide book if that's what you want), but this is the edited highlights for me, my choices of places to visit, plus a few things to note about the country and its inhabitants. Jylland (Jutland for the English) West Jylland This is the piece of Denmark which juts out from North Germany. Visitors who arrive by sea will often arrive here at the port of Esbjerg. This is not the prettiest of towns - but then how many ports are? As you come to land, you will see factories and docking areas... Read review
