Plesners Anneks
Plesners Anneks"Clean room. Helpful staff. Parking is tight inside but there are free street parking. Walk up to 10 minutes to nearby café, shops and restaurants. Very convenient. Downsides: 1. I had to make my own bed (placing the bed sheets, pillow covers and duvet covers though). 2. Our check-in was not communicated in advance, but that was sorted after a phone call."

Top Skagen Hotel Reviews
Ruths Hotel
"Just a perfect spot in the end of the continent. Very authentic and cozy. The atmosphere is amazing. Very close to the beach, religiously clean, romantic and lovely. Not so difficult to get into, just an hour and half drive from the airport. Recommend it with all my heart"
Hotel Strandly Skagen
"Really nice place, best charcuterie I've ever had and have been to Spain, breakfast excellent quality."
Skagen Harbour Hotel
"This hotel is an absolute gem. The staff are so friendly and care so much. Upon check-in we were guided through a map of the area with all the highlights. Our room was spacious with a small patio with table and chairs. Extremely well appointed room with everything we needed during our stay. Cozy bed. Sitting area. Bar fridge. The breakfast is incredible. Fresh and high quality with lots of selection. We greatly appreciated this added bonus. We highly recommend this gorgeous retreat and we hope to be back again! Thank you from Canada! Fantastic bikes for rent."
Skagen Hotel
"Nice hotel in a great location with friendly staff. The room was simple but comfortable, the bathroom quite small and water tended to get all over the floor and make it slippery after showering, but that was the only issue we had. Breakfast was really delicious with a nice selection, and I especially loved their pancakes! It does get very crowded when the hotel is full, but there was plenty of food for everyone even if you had to queue for it. They have a small parking lot behind the hotel, but on our last night it was full and we had to park nearby in a public parking lot, which was free overnight but did require either moving the car at 9am or downloading an app to pay from then on. All in all, some minor details that could be better, but the pancakes would still lure me back again happily!"
Skagen Strand Hotel Og Feriecenter
"We spent 2 nights at the property. The place was Clean but a bit dated. Only clean linnes were provided no towels or soap. Some ants were visible. Great location. Very private and quiet. No A/C."
