Best Western Torvehallerne

First the positive... the hotel at one of the most attentive staffs I've ever seen is many years is I've been traveling. Everybody was so friendly from the time I checked in. I ate in just about every restaurant frequently. They had a great selection for breakfast. I would consider staying at the hotel again just because of the staff. I can't express how friendly the staff was. The bad side of the hotel... my bathroom smells like sewer everyday from the time I walked in. I ended up keeping the door closed, opening the window, and covering the shower drain to keep the smell from escaping to the main bedroom. The really bad side... First of all, I think being one of the few African Americans in the town made people curious. We got the occasional curious stare to the obviously racist get out of my country look which I have dealt with my entire life... These don't bother me and shows people are naturally curious about outsiders or flat out ignorant and don't represent the Danish populations a whole. However, on one occasion I encountered an obnoxiously drunk Dane. He went by the name of Jan, was a musician or something, and was a friend of either the owner or who appeared to be a manager of the property. It was 9AM and these guys were sloppy drunk. I was trying to eat my breakfast and minding my own business when Jan walked up and kept wanting hugs and babbling about nonsense. The owner/manager kept telling Jan to let's leave but Jan continued acting obnoxious to the point I decided to leave my breakfast. Jan tried to follow me to my room so I ran to avoid him knowing where I stayed. At this point I felt unsafe and embarrassed to pass through the dining area to leave the hotel. I used the rear door to avoid harrassment and any other confrontation. My point... If it wasn't for the staff, I would have nothing positive to write... I saw the owner /manager another time during my stay and he didn't acknowledge the incident or me as a person. No apologies nothing... I feel if I were white, I would not be posting this and if the incident happened he would have apologized. BTW, the staff knows who the manager/owner is and knows he can be a problem for guests. They told me he doesn't represent Denmark and is a bad representation of the Best Western franchise. My question is why is he still there? The lack of a simple acknowledgement of me as a person or apology makes me consider reporting the hotel management to Best Western franchise management. less

Every time I have to be in Denmark for business purposes I stay at the Torvehallerne because it has everything a guest can want : good bed, breakfast, restaurant ( Bistecca ) and close to Vejle city center ( walking distance ) less

The reception staff is very friendly and very helpful. The room cleanliness is very good, as well as the general room conditions. Nevertheless the breakfast is lacking in diversity and general ingredients quality. Despite from this, the hotel is a solid good choice. less

My second time here.... highly recommended. The staff are very attentive and the choice of restaurants and bars are well worth the stay. Really handy for the station and though the rooms are basic they are spotlessly clean and comfortable. less

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel and this was a very good start for us in Denmark. The hotel rooms were super clean, breakfast was good and lots of varieties, and the staff was super friendly. Heads up to this hotel and their staff, it has been a long time that we enjoyed this much in a hotel. less
