kro
in a name usually implies a country inn, but it is also (less
commonly) the Danish version of a motel, found along major motorways near the out-
skirts of town.
Some hotels have set rates published on their websites; others have rates that fluctuate
according to season and demand. Most hotel websites offer good deals, as do booking
engines such as booking.com (most Danish sleeping options are on booking.com).
Many business hotels offer cheaper rates on Friday and Saturday nights year-round, and
during the summer high season (from about mid-summer in late June until the start of the
school year in early/mid-August).
There is no hard-and-fast rule about the inclusion of breakfast in prices - many hotels in-
clude it in their price, but for others it is optional. It is never included in the price of budget
hotels (you can purchase it for around Dkr70). Hotel breakfasts are usually pretty decent
all-you-can-eat buffets.
Manor Houses
Denmark is simply stuffed with castles and manor houses, some of them offering atmo-
spheric accommodation set in beautiful grounds. The website of the
Danske Slotte &
houses and small castles around Denmark that offer accommodation.
