The hotel is beautifully situated close to the heart of Sønderborg, offering stunning views of the harbor and easy access to local attractions. The rooms are spacious and modern. As we traveled with our small dog, we incurred additional cleaning fees of 300 DKK per night, which is approximately 40 euros. We have stayed in many European hotels and have always paid between 8-15 euros max; therefore, the price is simply exorbitant. It was all the more annoying that, whenever we left the room with our dog, we informed the reception that the room service could come to clean. Unfortunately, this never worked directly, so our room was only cleaned during day trips every second day. In addition, it was inconvenient to always have to leave the wet food for the dog at the reception because of a missing minibar at the room; the staff helpful. Our room had a breathtaking view of the sea, which was a nice sight to wake up to each morning. Steigenberger has an array of nice amenities. Great is the Spa area; still, for the overall price we paid for two weeks it was a pity that the access to the pool was not included. Additionally, we were somewhat bothered that, on top of the 'normal' spa area costs, there are additional charges for the Nordic Spa area. For a hotel in this price range, a spa area should naturally be included in the overnight price. The dining experience at Steigenberger Alsik is very good and we would like to highlight the extraordinary breakfast buffet.
