This hotel is placed right by the bay in Århus. The city is really close, not only do I don’t mind the 20 minute walk from the city center, I even enjoy the walk by the harbor and coastline. The forest is the nearest neighbor and perfect for the morning run or afternoon walk. The room was very nice with... More

Stayed in a double room, which had great large beds, nice big size room and bathroom. The room had a beautiful view right at se seafront. The staff is very helpfull and kind. The breakfast though, was nothing spectacular, unfortunately a lot of the hot things were quite cold. The hotel is really close to the city center, so taking... More

The Egyptian owned Helnan chain calls the hotel "one of Scandinavia´s most attractive hotels". The location overlooking the Kattegat Sea is definitely attractive, but more is needed. The service is friendly, but could do much better: The wi-fi connection was not working - and nobody knew how to fix it, towels were missing in the bathroom, the sauna was closed,... More

When you arrive it looks like you've turned up at a badly designed community centre. The staff are nice but the layout of the lobby and dining area is depressing. Once in the room everything feels rather spartan. It is in the rooms that you really see the lack of attention to detail: there is nothing to indicate what facilities... More

The staff is nice and helpfull, and the view is great. But I did look forward to experience the very special Danish brutalism architecture that Marselis was a great exemple of when built. But certainly it is no longer a designer hotel, but a tasteless mix of chesterfield and China.. which makes this place below average. Its a pity, by... More

Just returned from Aarhus where I stayed one night in the Helnan Marselis Hotel. It's beautifully located directly at the beach and near woodlands. It's lovely to take a walk there. My room had a lovely seaview over the bay. The check in was very friendly and fast. The lights in the room were a little strange and took a... More

If you are looking for seaside views and sounds, stay in another, comfortable hotel, and take a walk by the seaside - you might save some money and disappointment. I have stayed in two star hotels which had more amenities than the Helnan Marselis Hotel... and frankly, were cleaner. Not only are there no pampering treats in the room, there... More

Spacious room and bathroom. Everything worked well, with all standard amenities (safety box, hair dryer, TV etc). Location has excellent ocean view (not from all rooms) and great facilities for walking/running (intensively used by the locals). 20-30min walk from City Centre, 10min taxi drive. Mattress too firm for my taste. Bathroom accessories are limited to wall mounted combined shower/shampoo gel.... More

Excellent place, especially during the summer. Location is rather far from the city. Poor communication. Rather expensive. Clean of bathroom should be easilly improuved (it is recommended). Pathetic service of bar / cocktail bar.
