    Not sure where we were supposed to park. Finding the hotel was difficult. Some other guests took the hot water tea kettle so not available for us to use at breakfast.

    The location was very close to the central part of the town. Nice water pressure in the shower. A view of the spires and rooftops from the bedroom window.

    The shared bathroom is a bit small and basic. Also Maybe adding a water dispenser in the room for comfort or a basin would make it a big advantage.

    The rooms are one story up under the rafters so some places in the room were not for tall people.

    Location was great and the building had lots of character. There are only 3 units so it was quiet except for loud kids walking by on the street occasionally. Located within easy walking distance to main square, restaurants and shopping.

    There was nothing we didn’t like about the guesthouse.

    Den Gamle Købmandsgaard was located close to the train station in Ribe, which was great for us, as we were travelling around Denmark by train. We arrived later than we had said, but Johnny was fantastic. A quick phone call and he popped over immediately to greet us, show us around our lovely apartment and explain how breakfast worked. Our apartment had a shower room with toilet and wash hand basin, which was very welcome after our long day travelling. There was a area for relaxing and reading or watching TV and another for eating breakfast or any meals, plus another for working at a desk. It was a beautiful character apartment - just be careful not to bang your head on the sloping ceiling! There was a wonderful, huge double bed in the bedroom, which was super comfortable and we slept so well on it. At breakfast, we met the other guests in the other two bedrooms. There was plenty to eat with rolls, cheese, jams, along with eggs and bacon to cook. It was a shame we had to take our breakfast back into our apartment to eat, but it gave us a bit of privacy and space to plan our day. This is a lovely family run B&B and we met Johnny’s wife and daughter in the morning. They are lovely, friendly hosts, interested in their guests and so happy to help. We wish we could have stayed longer. Ribe is so beautiful and the guesthouse is well situated for exploring the town. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Very friendly host, decent breakfast and the location is absolutely perfect for day trips! For those who wish to visit Ribe for the Viking Center - be aware that there is a Viking museum, AND a Viking Center - both are at different locations in Ribe! We actually went to the "wrong" museum, but enjoyed ourselves very much nonetheless.

    Parking can be an issue. Closest is 50m if not full otherwise it's about 300 m away.

    Clean and comfortable with a good breakfast included . Very close to town

    Everything was great.

    There are three rooms. We had the suite which has a separate bedroom, two other separate living/dining/work areas and a small en-suite bathroom. The large bed was comfortable. The windows have vents so that air can flow without letting in too much light at night. There is also a portable fan, which is a nice edition for the summer. Breakfast for each room is placed in the refrigerator in the common area. It is nice as the guests can eat on their own schedule. The bake your own bread was particularly delicious. The WiFi and TV worked well. The location, just on the edge of the city center, is great. It is a very quick walk to all the sights. But the area is very quiet at night. Johnny is a great host.

    We didn’t realize our “private bathroom” was not en suite. It was uncomfortable having to leave the room at night to use the restroom.

    Everything was perfect!

    We had a charming stay in a historic setting in Den Gamle Købmandsgaard B&B in Ribe. Our cozy room (with the centuries-old wooden mill wheel in the ceiling), friendly owners Johnny (and his daughter, Katja) were so hospitable. The simple yet delicious breakfast made for a delightful experience. I would highly recommend staying with Johnny et al, for exploring Ribe's medieval streets and attractions.
