The Prindsen

This hotel, Prindsen, located in Roskilde, was the first hotel in Denmark, having received a license as a public inn in 1695. Andersen stayed here and writes in his diary about the visit.

Home at eight, first time I sleep in the town, where kings sleep, I sleep badly. I sleep at Prindsen.

I stayed here, too, but, unlike Andersen, my sleep was undisturbed.
