These bright spots suggest that, at its best, the breakfast can be a pleasant way to start the day.

Moreover, a few reviews mentioned issues with the staff being inattentive, particularly concerning the need to refill items on the breakfast buffet. While there are instances of great breakfast experiences, it seems consistent quality and variety remain areas where Sostrup Slot could enhance their guests' morning experience.

Dinner
Guests have mixed feelings about dining at Sostrup Slot. While the hotel offers a barbecue evening at the restaurant, several reviews indicate disappointment. Many guests find the restaurant's offerings simple and the food somewhat bland. Additionally, the restaurant's limited opening days from Monday to Friday add to the inconvenience. Several reviewers also note that the dinner prices are considered too high for the quality provided, making the overall dining experience appear mediocre. Factors like weak Wi-Fi coverage and minimal lighting in the courtyard further contribute to a less than ideal stay for some guests.

Rooms
At Sostrup Slot, guests can expect a mixed yet generally positive experience with the rooms. The accommodations boast spacious, clean and tidy apartments, often described as lovely and bright. The well-equipped kitchens in the apartments are a notable convenience for longer stays. The ambiance of peace and quiet is consistently mentioned with halls and rooms providing a serene environment. Multiple room types are available, ensuring varied options for different needs.

However, the historical charm of the old buildings next to the castle comes with some drawbacks. Several reviews pointed out that the rooms and bathrooms are dated with some areas showing signs of wear and needing renovation, particularly the windows and sanitary facilities. The apartments and rooms, while clean, can feel worn out and simplistic with some accommodations likened to a mix between a hotel room and a school trip setup. Additionally, there are mentions of draughty rooms due to the thick courtyard walls.

Despite these shortcomings, guests appreciate the overall good size of the rooms and bathrooms and the well-maintained cleanliness. The considerable space and comfortable beds in the apartments make for a pleasant stay, even if the facilities could use some updating. The rooms in the annex are highlighted for their niceness, maintaining the general appeal seen across the property.

Additionally, all of the beds provided were single beds. Despite this, the positive remarks about the beds being comfortable and even described as the best bed by some guests indicate overall satisfaction with the sleep experience. On a minor note, one guest mentioned that their bed was not made for three days, pointing to a potential lapse in housekeeping services.
