King Frederik Inn

Clean rooms with fridge and microwave and friendly staff — can’t ask for more in a small spot like this.

When another inn was no longer open at our arrival time the king Fredrick inn welcomed us with open arms. The room was very nice in my opinion. Everything worked, the beds were comfortable and clean. Pool was clean. They offer Danishes, juice and coffee in the morning down in the lobby. The rate was comparable to the surrounding inns. What makes me give the inn 5 stars was location! This is in a great place to stay if you want to walk around to the shops. We were right in the middle of everything. Next time I go to solvang I will be staying here again.

It fulfilled our needs. In the center of town, very clean, affordable and nice people. I would stay here again. We went in winter and had a pleasant stay The pool is heated and my kids took advantage of that feature! They gave us a free upgrade and I was very pleased. It is not your five star, expensive hotel. However, for the price it was very good.

The main two reasons we booked here was the location and the price — both proved to be as expected.
Of course, this isn’t a luxury hotel, so don’t come expecting for the best. We came with two little kids for 3 nights. Here are the highlights why we gave 5 stars:
— Staff is nice, friendly, respectful and helped us with everything we needed.
— They have cribs for babies, as well as cute little blankets for the baby.
— After one night we realized it’s colder than we assumed, and after asking, staff provided us with extra blankets and towels.
— The pool is HEATED — bring swim suites, also in the winter :-)
— Room was clean and sheets were spotless.
— Location is amazing. Didn’t move the car for the entire time we were there.
We brought all our food from home, so can’t comment on the breakfast provided. Most rooms overlook the central court with the pool, so don’t expect city views (if you care about that).
All in all, it was a good stay.

The only thing I liked about this place was the service. Everything else was so horrible, I literally checked out after 2 hours of being there.

We overall enjoyed our stay, however this hotel is very basic. There was no early check in, continental breakfast was dismal, and they did not provide bathroom toiletries. It was a clean room, parking was available even at night and it is centrally located which we appreciated.

Horrible place!!! People, run away!!! They are masters of overcharging! Horirible customer service, horrible rooms, very dirty, all kinds of insects in the room!!! Believe me if you want to enjoy your stay in Solvang, please keep away from this horrible place!!! I can’t even describe how bad was my whole experience!!! This is the worst place ever!!!

We stayed here some 4 years ago and decided not to book again. The place was old, paint peeling and poor plumbing. This year we realized you could not book a room for under $ 200.00 a night anywhere near Santa Barbara. So we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The rooms have been remodeled and the paint is fresh. We had an upstairs room which was spacious and quiet. The rate was $ 143.00 a night. It included a small fridge and a microwave. Since this is a bargain rate hotel they do cut a few corners. The soap bars are the size of .50 cent pieces. They are wrapped in plastic and shattered when opened. The shampoo is in a dispenser in the shower. The continental breakfast is basic. Danish, muffin and toast. Orange juice and apple juice. I wish they had milk and cereal for children.
The main draw is its location. It is within walking distance of everything in town including the Mission, Izod outlet and Mortensens bakery. It also has a spacious pool. I recommend it with the proviso you bring your own milk, soap bar and shampoo.

Perfectly located centrally — easy walk to everything! I love not needing my car after arriving on vacation! I wouldn’t call it a 5 star hotel, but I give it 5 stars for good value & worth the price. It’s nice having a balcony over the pool & hot tub. The breakfast is just Danishes (aka Vienna Bread in Denmark) and toast plus coffee and juice. Free wifi, in room fridge/​microwave, convenient parking, etc. Not the best bathrooms ever but not bad either. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends!

stayed a couple of nights for our kid’s spring break and contracted SCABIES. after being diagnosed with it i called the front desk and they said that they would look into it and that the manager would call me. this was over a month ago and i they still haven’t called me. i have no confirmation that they have done anything or even investigated what had happened.
do yourself a favor and spend the extra couple of bucks and get a newer/​nicer room at one of the better hotels.
added 6÷11÷2015:
i found the receipt. the room in question is room 107. first floor next facing the pool…

The wife made a reservation through
.
She called King Frederik ⁵⁄₂₇ at 10am to confirm reservation.
That lady she spoke with was nice.
Called back at 4pm regarding reservation.
British lady was annoyed just picking up the phone,
Sighing heavily when Wife asked to check on reservation.
Sighed when Wife asked if it was on ground level.
Said NO when Wife asked if there were any above ground level.
How dare Wife ask questions?!
She said Wife could go ahead and cancel it, almost daring her.
Wife said OK.
She said Wife couldn’t cancel through them, that she’d have to do it through Booking.
Wife asked for the confirmation number.
She said she couldn’t give it to Wife.
THEN she suddenly found a room above ground level.
(above the office, no thanks)
My wife would have kept the room but went with a less affordable option elsewhere
just because of the customer service.
My wife is Able Skeeved at them and made me write a review.

Stayed here for the Wine Country Half Marathon. Location is the ONLY thing it has going for it. Won’t stay again. As usual, used my debit Visa to hold my room. Upon check in, I presented the clerk with a Visa credit card and told him to charge room to it. He swiped it to have on file. Two days after checkout, I’m looking at bank statement, and they charged my debit. Immediately called King Frederick. Was told they could not put money back into my account for up to a week. I told them that was unacceptable. Eventually had a 3-​way phone conversation with KF, Chase, myself. Woman from KF was snarky while crediting my account and charging the correct card. Now, 3 days later, still no return of my money, BUT they did charge my credit card. Way to do business King Fredrick. I’ll inform ALL my friends of this. My run club easily has at least 30 – 40 people do this race every year. In summary… in my opinion the King Frederick needs to revamp more than their outdated rooms. Terrible business practice.

We came here for a quick stay, just overnight, staying Sat to Sunday. The hotel is a great location right in the middle of all the action. I thought maybe it would be noisy at night, however was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty quiet. The rooms are a bit dated. The beds are on the soft side. The air conditioning unit is right above one of the beds, so it’s a little noisy. Happy to have a fridge/​freezer and microwave. I have food allergies, so I bring my own food. Rooms with a balcony to the pool, connect to the balcony next to you. You could seriously just climb over to the next persons balcony, a little unnerving. Check-​in was great, friendly and quick ! I would stay again for a weekend stay.

The key l to the king is the central location close to a number of bakeries, tasting rooms, and some of the better Solvang restaurants. Is it a 5 star resort? No, but it’s clean, comfortable, and centrally located. The room includes parking, a continental breakfast, and a pool in the central courtyard. And most importantly the price is right.

We loved out room. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. The central location is great for walking around to all the shops and bakeries. We would definitely book a room here again if we spend a night in Solvang again.
*Accessibility note: Their handicap accessible room comes with a shower bench and rails in the shower. There are also 2 reserved accessible parking spots near the reception and lobby area.

Well it certainly was cheap, and right in the middle of Solvang. Nothing amazing, but it had a bed and was clean. What more can you ask for?

Cute, no-​frills hotel in Solvang. I stayed here for two nights and was satisfied with the accommodations. Staff was friendly and the rooms were nice. The included breakfast was simple and adequate– toast, Danish, muffins and coffee. The pool and hot tub looked inviting, although I didn’t get a chance to check them out! A good place to stay while exploring Solvang.

For the people that complain, what do you expect when you’re paying $ 100 a night for such a central location? The room are bare, and the amenities are barer. But it’s somewhere you can literally crawl back to after hitting all the tasting rooms in town and pass out in. Plus there’s a big pool and a hot tub. What else do you need?
Save the extra $$ you would spend on a nicer hotel elsewhere on a case of wine! Now that’s the spirit of wine country!

We just spent a few nights there…
Bed was ok
Rooms looked old
No shampoo and/​or conditioner…
There are lots of places to stay in Solvang, will stay somewhere else next time…

We’ve stayed a few times. The place seems to be showing its age. The rooms could use some updating. They are not dirty, but there is a creepy feeling.
The hotel is centrally located on the main drag, and the price was relatively low. But I think this will be our last stay here. The morning continental breakfast is weak too. Just some store bought (not bakery bought) pastries, coffee and juice.
They could do better.
