The Landsby

Super cozy and chic! Our usual place was booked so we quickly scanned
and the Landsby looked nice so we decided to give it a go. Really cute bar/​lobby area. Apparently, they have a happy hour and free continental breakfast but we didn’t partake in either as we had a play that evening and left early the next morning to return home.
The room is modernly decorated and had a big flat screen tv (one thing that was a downside is the poor streaming we experienced, pixilation issues). Anyway, the bed was AMAZING, like sleeping on a cloud — they even had a cute sachet filled with dried lavender on the pillows. Plush bathrobes were a welcome luxury after showering as well. Fine bath products from L’Occitane, and I was a happy gal.
Look forward to returning with my bae soon.

I had the good fortune to check in with Nakia and make the acquaintance of Michael (I hope I got your names correct) at the concierge. Michael took the time to help me figure out where to go (I went to Ingeborg’s Chocolates) and what to look for. When I went to grab my things from my car, one of the staff even ran over from the other side in the heat to hold the door for me! I got up to my room and I had 2 bottles of water waiting for me with a possible McConnell’s ice cream delivery (I wouldn’t have finished a pint, so I restrained myself). The temperature was programmable so I was able to adjust it to my preference. The bed was just right, soft pillows, and a warm comforter. The robes were soft and I even had a complimentary lavender satchel. I also appreciated their superb toiletries. They brought extras so I could scrub myself clean since I had been to an outside wedding and was covered in dust. The best part was waking up the next day to a room lighted by sunshine but not blinding you. I don’t know that I would want to stay anywhere else.

Planned a surprise trip to Solvang with my wife, and I actually looked on Unilocal for suggestions for hotels. This one had pretty good reviews, so I booked it! It was on the «pricier» side, but not overly expensive. We got there and were met by a very kind and helpful staff, the room keys were awesome, (actual keys), and the room was superb! I had asked for flowers on the bed and they delivered! The rooms were small, but fitted perfectly. A large tv, great A/​C, even had some robes! In the morning, we went to breakfast and the waitress was exceptionally funny. And the breakfast was pretty delicious as well! Overall, this was an excellent stay!

What a cute inn! We chose this place randomly as it was pretty in photos, and it did not disappoint! With a sweet happy hour bar downstairs and a delicious restaurant (Mad & Vin), The Landsby is the perfect place to stay while in Solvang!
It is across the street from Paula’s Pancake House and Succulent Café, and it is just a block down from the main street of Solvang with all the bakeries and wine tastings. The liquor store that closes at 12 AM is also a 5 – 10 minute walk which is super close.
Rooms were very clean and gorgeous. Minimal lines and clean, neutral colors. Everything was perfect– it couldn’t have been a better stay!

Very Friendly Employees. Very kind service. And very fast internet. My family enjoyed our stayed here.

Service is amazing very friendly, polite, fast and the food is very delicious. I would highly recommend this place. My waiter (Weston) was awesome great service thank you

Suprise good place!!! It’s a very nice restaurant and that worth more attention.
Came Solvang on Friday evening, which most stores are closed and luckily we have this feature save our trip! The restaurant is hidden in the hotel and it’s pretty low profile. You might easily skip it.
Dining environment is awesome:) artistic design and I feel I’m in a gallery. quiet environment, suitable for small party
We had a very good evening there.

I’m in love, and I knew I would be.
The hotel is perfection. Scandinavian, cozy minimalism abounds — the cream, gray, and wood speak to my soul. Love the silly animal artwork (llamas and yaks and such), the cozy throw blankets, the floors, the soft lighting, and the general clean feel of the joint.
The staff were helpful — from the front desk through the bar, though our experience at breakfast left something to be desired. My one ask: how about a little bit of yogurt to go with that yummy looking granola you offer? I mean, if the staff are going to drop off menus and then never ever come back to your table again (even when you are only one of four in the restaurant), preventing you from ordering the breakfast you need to pay for, then beefing up the complimentary offering in just that small way would be fantastic. The pastries were good, the coffee was hot, the juice was fresh, and that was that.
We didn’t eat in Mad + Vin, but we did eat at the bar, which I imagine is the same or at least similar in menu. The burger was okay, the fries were phenomenal (I love me some duck fat fries!).

Tried the happy hour after rave reviews and was not disappointed. Food excellent. The wine list is by far my favorite local wines and bartenders were amazing. I am a local and can say I will be defiantly going back again.

The design of this hotel is inspiring. It is rare that you see Danish modern design in the states. I literally felt creatively inspired by the interior design. It is a really beautiful boutique hotel. We stayed in room #11 and the walls were very thin, we could hear our neighbors talking. I wish they had more sustainable organic food at the restaurant too, but I can’t fault them for that, because no one else in Solvang does either, but if they had that, it would be even more amazing! I also wish they had room service.

We just came back from a perfect weekend at The Landsby hotel. We had a long drive to Solvang and we were early to our check-​in. Julia, (sorry if I misspelled the name) the manger, was so kind and thoughtful, she told us that our room just upgraded to King deluxe, and believe me, that kind of news you want to here after driving so much. The room was perfect, high end. The matters was soft, the room was clean, pillows were perfect. We missed breakfast. only because it was so hard to leave the room! :)
We will defiantly be back! Highly recommended :)!

We just returned home after a short stay at the Landsby and we can’t wait to go back! The hotel is beautifully designed and feels both cozy and modern. The staff is fantastic and very welcoming. The rooms are large, comfortable and nicely appointed. You definitely get the boutique hotel vibe as they really pay attention to the details. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay in the Solvang area.

As soon as I walked in, I felt home. It’s light, soft, warm, and welcoming. Any room is beautiful with a tiny sack of lavender on your pillow to ensure a good nights sleep. Here’s a few of my favorites: The robes. The soft water. The shrub (cocktail) The Last Word. The Poached Potato Omelet. Room 38’s tub. The courtyard. The happy hour vibe. Easy parking. And… the GM.

We stayed here for a weekend in the last six months. I did not read the Unilocal reviews before we went, but I just read quite a few of them and many reflected our experience.
There were many things I liked about The Landsby, but it’s hard to forgive them for the noise quality issue. Perhaps if you stay at the other end of the building, it’s wonderful, but if you’re on the bar/​restaurant end and you don’t want to hear diners & drinkers alike chatting and singing and whooping, you’re out of luck. And through the door of the room you could hear people walking down the hall or going up and down the stairs.
But the good does outweigh the bad and overall we enjoyed our stay here.
The Bad:
Not much peace and quiet if you’re staying in the rooms right above the bar & restaurant. You can hear anything louder than talking in a normal voice.
It’s like staying in a West Elm catalog.
The wifi is not password-​protected.
No shower cap.
The Good:
The bar does not stay open past 11 pm (see above),
Free wifi but… See above.
It’s like staying in a West Elm catalog.
Parking is easy; they have a lot right there.
Seersucker robes lined with terry cloth.
Nice-​smelling bath things from L’Occitane.
Mini-​fridge.
Bathtub (harder & harder to find these days unless you’re paying quite a bit more).
The restaurant is right downstairs and the food and drinks are good. Unlike another reviewer, I loved the homemade shrubs (sweet, vinegar-​based mixers) and all their flavors.
Books about wine & local wineries in the room; not just advertising directories.
Complimentary breakfast that was not just boxed cereal
Centrally located (though it’s hard not to be given Solvang’s size) – Olsen’s Bakery is right across the street and so is The Succulent Café, which was lovely.
Of Note (not assigning a value judgment to these):
No room service.
No premium cable.
Lighting somewhat dim, even in the bathroom.
Another reviewer pointed out that the mini-​fridge is not big enough for a wine bottle. (But I bet they would put something on ice in the restaurant if you needed it.)
Keurig in the room, not coffee maker.
Dog-​friendly. Please be aware that all hotels that are dog-​friendly have a policy that dogs cannot stay in the room unattended. Seems like it would be a good idea and maybe even a good biz model to offer dog-​sitting services with your reservation.

Love, love, love!
We had a lunch from the Happy Hour menu and it was fantastic even though we weren’t sure if they served lunch but luckily they do!
Great décor and atmosphere and wonderful staff.
We had drinks and ate the burger, ham melt and shared the croquettes. All amazing and the duck fat fries were fantastic. The food was presented with care and had nice touches. Pickled green beans were served with the melts and an assortments of green beans, beets and onion came with the burger. Warm green olives came with the croquettes.
Everything was bursting with flavour and nothing was oily. It all was very farm to table and locally sourced.
This was by far my favourite Solvang destination and I can only highly recommend and say you will be amazed too!

Second visit and such a wonderful time. Huge improvement in service from my first impression and with time to sample more or the menu I have to say I’m very pleased.
The farmers salad is of a wonderful portion and very tasty, the cheese plate is perfect to share or for one and wonderful as well.
Would absolutely recommend a visit to their bar lounge or restaurant.

My boyfriend just took me to Solvang for a quick birthday getaway this past weekend. He chose The Landsby because he knew I would love the style and décor and he was spot on! If my house could look like the Landsby, I’d be in heaven.
We stayed in a Deluxe King room which was just perfect. The décor was beautiful and clean and the bed was so comfortable. However, I had a lot of trouble sleeping because of the noise level. It wasn’t that there was a lot going on at the hotel, but every time the AC turned on it shook the room and sounded like a semi-​truck had just pulled into a garage underneath us. We turned the AC off, but it kept happening from what I assume was our neighbors’ AC. It was the worst sleep I’ve had in a long time.
We did go to the bar for happy hour which was quite loud and crowded. Thankfully the manager saw my boyfriend and I looking for a spot and showed us to the couch in the dining room that we had all to ourselves. It definitely made our drinks and the fries much more enjoyable!

Extremely dissatisfied with the hotel staff!
A friend recommended this place for our Anniversary. We were so excited and called and booked a room with the receptionist and reserved the most expensive room a Deluxe King (the only one available for our dog)
We had to pay a 75 $ pet fee which we expected but she left out the fact that we could not leave the dog unattended in the room. I don’t care about the policy I am just upset that they didn’t tell us in advance so we could plan appropriately.
Being that it was our anniversary we had a romantic dinner planned at a winery (not dog friendly). This meant our plans were completely ruined. Instead of taking the blame and apologizing or trying to make up for it they were very rude.
The receptionist who checked us in was actually the person who made our reservation and said that they could cancel our reservation when we mention that she should have told us about the policy. What we assumed was the manager came out and wouldn’t even look at us and just repeated that they would cancel our reservation. Gee Thanks.
Thumbs down on hospitality! Such a shame because it’s so cute and we would have stayed here many times if not for the service we received.

My wife and I stayed here to get away from Los Angeles for a weekend and for the price we paid this room was not worth it. If I had paid half of what I did then it might’ve been worth it. To start, we requested a 11AM check-​in.
We arrived at 11, and had to wait 3 hours before our room was ready, so we explored Solvang for a couple of hours in 100 degree weather and came back to the hotel for lunch and a cocktail.
Next, the food they serve here is good, expensive but decent. Limited food choices, but they had a great list of bourbons and whisky.
The hotel service staff were OK, all of the staff here seemed too busy to answer your questions, provided rushed answers, and made us feel as if we were bothering them when we had questions or concerns. Every single one of our encounters at the front desk involved waiting for someone to speak to us because they were too busy chatting about local gossip with each other. I timed one encounter that took almost five minutes before she would even look at me. Unacceptable. Staff here needs training. The hotel décor and feel doesn’t match the staff demeanor or attitude.
Our room at first glance as we walked in seemed clean, but after some time spent in the room we noticed the bathroom floors were grimey, nasty to walk on barefoot, and the room was dusty overall. Our bed was very comfortable, the best part was our bed and plush linens.
One thing to really point out as a major flaw, is the walls are REALLY thin. We heard our neighbors toilets, phone conversations, the clicking of their computer mouse, television, radio, everything! I felt like we had to whisper to each other for fear of being rude to neighboring rooms. Yes, it’s that bad, so forget the ‘woohoo time’ with your significant other unless you want the world to hear.
ZERO room service for food (we just wanted breakfast, or even a cup of coffee). They will not deliver your breakfast or coffee or juices. Big bummer there.
The surrounding area near the hotel is of course the reason we went to Solvang. Wine tasting, good eats, nice people, and more wine! Maybe our stay here was a fluke, and just caught them on a bad day or severely understaffed. I don’t think we’ll be staying here again, or not for a while at least until their prices change. Just not worth what they charge.
In summary it’s an old building with new paint, dirty bathrooms, dusty rooms, terrible staff, pricy food. Looks great inside, well decorated, flows well, but looks alone will not get you a five star rating. The staff alone made this stay very unpleasant.
Edit: The restaurant inside of the hotel and the bar is the reason you should visit this place. The waiters and bartenders were great. I just can’t recommend staying over night!

Just visited Solvang for the first time. Such a cute and quaint town with dozens of shops and restaurants. We were drawn to The Landsby when we first arrived. We popped by for lunch around 12pm and hung out for a couple of hours. Food was great & service was ok. The staff seemed a little confused and not really organized. We came by the next day for breakfast and once again the food was great and staff was unorganized. I totally understand that the hotel is new, but they could definitely use some training. Anytime we had a question they never seemed to know the answer or how to help.
Wish I could give it a 5 star because everything else was wonderful.
