Lovely place. Very friendly staff. The hotel is well situated. However, one should be informed that the road to the hotel is a pedestrian street, which you are allowed to drive on to reach the hotel.

A really lovely stay, where both breakfast and dinner were especially nice. Silkeborg and the surrounding area is a wonderful place to vacation.

Lovely place. Right in the middle of it all - of course, when the hotel is located at the Square.
4/5
We were 8 people at Hotel Dania, we thought there was a lack of a starter or dessert for dinner.
4/5
Have a good holiday, although two courses instead of one would have been preferable. The one course was fine. The service at the hotel was good.
4/5
Calm pleasant surroundings despite being located in the city center, pedestrian street. Highly recommended as the central location on the square allows you to enjoy the Silkeborg life.
4/5
The hotel could remove the mold on the grout in the shower niche.

Cozy older hotel with a nice location. The room is a bit worn, but clean. Nice to have 2 comfortable chairs in the room. Great breakfast and accommodating staff.
In the centre of Silkeborg, in the middle of the square, is the classic Hotel Dania, part of historic Silkeborg. The hotel has been in the same location since 1848 and can thus offer its guests an almost historic stay filled with personality, warmth and good memories.
About the hotel
Hotel Dania has played an important role in Silkeborg's history since 1848, when the hotel was founded. The hotel's long history hides many great stories and celebrities who have stayed here. H.C. Andersen and the actress Johanne Louise Heiberg praised the "comfort and hospitality of the rooms" in one of her many letters.
Hotel Dania is particularly known for its restaurant, Brasserie Underhuset, which has received several gastronomic awards and is also a member and Knight of the "Chaine des Rotisseurs", a worldwide organisation of gastronomes. It serves high-quality food inspired by classic restaurants in France.
Breakfast is served in the Drewsens Salen, which is part of the hotel and named after the founder of the Paper Mill. The large terrace is also a hit, especially when the sun is out. Food and drink are served here, and a good lunch can quickly turn into a long afternoon of convivial company with like-minded bon vivants and freshly poured draught beer.
Rooms
All rooms are newly renovated and equipped with a private bathroom and hairdryer. Rooms and bathrooms are all different sizes, as the renovation was true to history. There is a 32- or 40-inch Smart TV, with the option of connecting your own media device. A trouser press is also fitted, for free use, and both an iron and ironing board can be borrowed from reception if they are not already in the room. The hotel also offers a cleaning and laundry service, which is available within 24 hours - (except on weekends and public holidays). Free WI-FI is available throughout the hotel.
Some rooms have lake views, while others face the vibrant square, which features a market every Saturday and various events throughout the year.
