The hotels, the Hans Tuasen and the Ansgar are in the very heart of Odense and have a charming mixture of old and new creating a homely, intimate atmosphere which is quite unique today. Odense boasts discos and pubs for a lively night out, and one can always rely upon the friendly Danes for conversation as English is compulsory in schools and nearly all speak It fluently.
