Kongensbro Kro Review

Although a tavern stood on this site from 1663, it was little more than a ruin when members of the Andersen family bought and rebuilt it in 1949. The family's matriarch, Else, authored five Danish-language cookbooks during her active years here, and became something of a legend throughout Denmark. Today the charming and well-kept inn is directed by her son, Øle, and his hardworking staff. Accommodations are pleasant and cozy, and all contain private bathrooms.

Meals are served daily noon to 3pm and 6 to 9pm. A two-course fixed-price menu is available at lunch and dinner for DKK245 to DKK295 ($42-$50/£25-£30), although most serious gastronomes opt for a la carte meals. The inn lies between Ans and Århus, about a 10-minute drive north of Silkeborg.

Facilities:
Restaurant; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking room

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
