The Property — Hotel Det Gamle Posthus
The Hotel Det Gamle Posthus occupies a former post office on Rønne’s main square, so the lobby still has a certain civic gravity – high ceilings, a tiled floor, a wooden counter turned reception desk. The rooms are straightforward and a bit compact, with Ikea-style furnishings and good blackout curtains; the USP is location and character, not luxury. It suits anyone who wants to sleep in the centre and doesn’t mind thin walls or dated bathrooms. Standing there, you hear the post office bell chime on the hour – a quirky, unforced sense of place.
Chronicles of Ronne
Rønne developed as a herring-fishing and trading port under the Hanseatic League, gaining its charter in 1327. The town was levelled by Swedish forces in 1645 and again by fire in 1864, which is why its medieval street pattern survives but most buildings date from the late 19th century. The half-timbered houses along Storegade and the defensive ‘round church’ at Østerlars (4 km north) give the island its distinct look. Today Rønne is both the ferry gateway to Bornholm and a small, self-contained seaside town with a lively summer café scene around the harbour.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ronne guide →Best months
June and August: warmest sea temperatures (16-18°C), reliably sunny, and crowds are thinner than July peak. September also works for drier weather and cheaper flights but evenings cool fast.
Peak / festival surge
July is absolute peak – the island’s main season, with Bornholm ‘Round the Island’ sailing race (mid-July) and heavy Danish holiday traffic. Hotel rates in Rønne double or triple, and advance booking is essential. The port gets packed with yachts and rental queues.
Budget shoulder season
May and the first three weeks of September offer lower hotel rates by 30-40%, daytime highs around 16-18°C, no ferry queues, and still enough daylight (9pm sunset in September) for exploring the island’s coastal paths.
Weather & packing
Bornholm’s microclimate is one of Denmark’s sunniest but also windiest – even July can have a 20-knot breeze from the Baltic. Pack a mid-layer fleece or windbreaker as a mandatory extra, regardless of the forecast; shorts alone will be miserable on exposed cliffs.
Live City Briefing — Ronne
- Rønne’s main street, Storegade, has pedestrianised further sections between Kirkepladsen and Toldbodvej (summer 2026), easing walking but reducing car access to the hotel’s immediate loading area.
- The Bornholm Food Festival moves to the harbour square (Toldbodvej) on 4-5 July 2026, meaning loudspeaker sound and cooking demos until 11pm both nights – ask for a rear-facing room at check-in.
- Ferry operator Bornholmslinjen has extended summer departures: the catamaran from Ystad runs until 2am weeknights from late June, so late arrivals from Copenhagen via Sweden are easier.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Det Gamle Posthus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor at the rear side of the building (away from Store Torv and the main street). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still accessible by stairs without relying on the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those facing the street or the entrance, as foot traffic and arriving guests can be noisy. Also skip any rooms near the breakfast room or stairs, where sounds carry in a small historic building.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear offer a quieter outlook onto the inner courtyard or neighbouring gardens, but views are limited. Front-facing rooms have a view of the town square (Store Torv), which is pleasant but comes with more noise.
Quietest floors
First and second floors (rear-facing rooms) are quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is on Store Torv, the main square in Ronne, expect church bells, delivery vans early morning, and pedestrian chatter in summer. The lift (if old) can be clunky and audible from adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a rear-facing room when booking – the square can be lively, especially on market days. 2. Parking is limited in Ronne's centre; inquire about nearby public car parks or hotel arrangements before arrival.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Danish Krone, DKK
Use ATMs in town (e.g. at banks or the post office) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Bornholm Airport or Rønne Harbour, which have poor rates and high fees.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard, contactless) are accepted almost everywhere; mobile pay is common for small transactions, but keep a few hundred kroner cash for market stalls or very small cafés.
Tipping is not expected; rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% for great service is appreciated but not required. Taxis and hotel staff don't expect tips.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A filter coffee from a bakery or bakery section of a supermarket costs around 25–30 DKK.
A smørrebrød (open sandwich) or a slice of pizza from a bakery/takeaway, 65–85 DKK.
A main course at a standard pub or pizzeria, 120–160 DKK.
Rønne's main square (Store Torv) has food stalls and a few casual burger/hot dog stands on weekends; the harbour area has fish-and-chips type vans in summer.
Netto, Rema 1000, and Lidl are the main budget supermarkets in Rønne.
The high street (Storegade) has chains like H&M and reserved; no market clothes stalls, but second-hand shops are good for bargains.
Walk or cycle – most of Rønne is flat and compact. Public buses (BAT) cost 24 DKK for a single journey within town; a day pass is 55 DKK. From Bornholm Airport, take local bus route 3 or 4 (24 DKK) into town centre.
1. Eat lunch at bakeries or supermarket hot counters – quality is good and half the price of sit-down restaurants. 2. Skip taxis – bike rental (around 100–150 DKK/day) is cheap and the best way to explore. 3. Buy groceries at Netto or Lidl rather than small corner shops, which mark up basics.
