“Central hotel in Skagen”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

I stayed here for one night. The hotel is located at the start of the main street and about 200m from the railway station.

The double room was a reasonable size and the bathroom was also spacious.
The free Wi-Fi connection was very strong and available all the time. There was no minibar in the room but vending machines in the corridor offered free tea and coffee.

The hotel staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area.

Breakfast was plentiful with boiled eggs, cereals, cheeses, cold meats and breads.

The only negative point about the hotel is the steep staircase from the reception up to the first floor. Some elderly guests were struggling to get their luggage upstairs and keep their balance. The hotel does have a rear entrance and the steps are less steep so a better option is on offer for people with heavy luggage; the hotel staff should offer this at check in.

“Expensive and average - but not bad at all.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

We stayed at the hotel for one night. At the end of the peak season hotel was silent and mostly occupied by older people. Although the hotel was expensive (150€/night for two) it was still in the average for the area. The lobby has the most steepest stairs I've ever seen and it was almost difficult to carry our suitcases upstairs. It is really the only "Petit" thing in the hotel. Actually the hotel is one of the largest on the area with around 50 rooms.

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is next to the railway station, restaurants and shops and still away from noisy bars with live music. The hotel's staff is very helpful and friendly. Our room was small but nice and very clean. A small minus was the lack of a fridge and air conditioning in the rooms. Also, the beds have seen better days.

The hotel has very good free internet connection. The building is full of WiFi hot spots and the quality of connection was excellent all the time. Breakfast was also very good and which can expected for the price.

To summarize I'd say that this hotel is not probably the best value for your money, but still you will be really satisfied if decide to stay there.

Room Tip: Hotel's phone line was not working while trying to book a room by phone. We managed to book a ro...

“Nice breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2011

We only stayed one night in Skagen and this hotel was the perfect location. The room was a little small for 3 people, but it was very clean. I had trouble connecting with the Wi-Fi in the room. The hotel staff/owner was very nice and their breakfast was excellent. I want to go back to Skagen one day and I will definitely stay at Hotel Petit again!

“Petit being the operative word”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent three nights in Skagen in the off-season and chose Petit because they were one of the few hotels which were actually opened, plus they offered breakfast & free wi-fi. Hotel Petit is conveniently located in the very center of Skagen, a pedestrian zone with restaurants and a supermarket is right at the back door, literally, the harbor is a 5 minute walk.

The room and bathroom we had were really tiny and kind of had the flair of a hostel rather than a hotel, an impression underlined by a metal door between 'hallway' (less than 1 sqm) and bedroom. The door was open into the bedroom and could not be closed because there was not enough space left.

The room has a mini bar and a small TV if you need one, but is definitely too small to sit down and spend leisure time, or work at the desk, so you'll have to either use the bed or go downstairs and use the (again, tiny) salon near the reception, which features a fake fireplace. Although the rooms are not facing the street and are quiet, there was a gap under the door to the corridor, letting in a lot of light and sounds from the outside, which I didn't like, especially with other guests arriving or leaving at night,

The service (provided by a husband and wife team, the owners) was friendly, we felt quite welcome. A nice add-on was having free parking because of the off-season.

The breakfast is pretty good with a decent buffet-style choice of foods. On the floor to the rooms you can have free coffee and tea from a vending machine at all times.

Overall, this was a pleasant stay, and, considering Danish hotel prices, at a reasonable price, too. Because of the very small and narrow room it didn't feel special or comfy, though, and I definitely wouldn't use this for a romantic getaway.

“Step inside and feel at home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

When you enter into the reception and meet the hostess, you really get a comfortable feeling. The check-in procedures is quick and you get the key to your room and a description of the faciliteies and the opening hours of the breakfastroom without any delay. You also get your reserved numbered parkingplace for your car on the back of the hotel (50 DKr for 24 hours). The hotel is very well located with shopping areas, restaurants and Skagen Museum within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay and we would like to come back soon.
