This was a nice hotel. Localized central in Aarhus, walking distance to most things. Easy to park if you’re travelling by car. The hotel rooms where nice and clean, breakfast was very good- not to much and not to small. Fresh food. I would recommend this, and travel here again

Hotel's Favourite
Stayed here for a couple of nights and really liked this hotel. Good room, bar area and restaurant. The breakfast was very good having stayed in an another hotel in Aarhus for one night whose breakfast choices were sparse. Very good selection of breakfast items, pastries, chees, cold meats, eggs, sausages etc. There are tea/coffee making facilities in your room but there is also free delicious fresh coffee etc in the reception area. The restaurant does get very busy so might be an idea to prebook and the food was good, although perhaps a little pricey. The staff are so friendly and all spoke very good English. Centrally located in the town within walking distance of airport bus and shops.

I had a smooth business stay. Everything was efficient and worked, even late dinner. Located in the city center I was able to walk to my meetings and park nearby the hotel. I even got to do some christmas shopping. I'll definitely come back :)

The entire experience can be summarized to the fact that the receptionist was not competent in receiving guests. After one hour from checking in we requested to return us money as we will not stay in such a lousy hotel. Here are particular mistakes they have done: Mistake (M.) 1: Parking is marked on booking as available on the property. However, it was full and then the receptionist said, the parking is managed by entirely different company - Q Parking. If you have nothing to do with the parking space, then do not mark it in the system as available. Otherwise every hotel can claim parking available, as there is always some parking available within a walking distance or in front of the hotel. Receptionist, instead of carefully explaining this wrong entry in the booking.com went on a microaggression, with a smile saying: We have nothing to do with the parking, sorry. M. 2: Dirty coffee cups found in the room when we after arrival wanted to make a coffee. My wife took them down to the receptionist. M. 3: He kept her waiting for long time, then he just took them, saying - that is OK and hid them behind the reception desk. A competent reaction would be to apologize on behalf of the hotel, immediately offer clean cups, and some form of compensation for this gap in cleaning quality. M. 4 - Once my wife said "it is not OK", he started defending himself that he did not make cups dirty. Of course not! But he is receptionist and his job is to receive customers on behalf of the hotel!! He did not know this essential piece of his job description. M. 5 - Receptionist started talking to another customer in Danish about my wife. He was laughing and gesticulating in a disrespectful and humiliating manner. He even admitted it. He should have been fired on the spot. M. 6 - Manager was professional, but she also stated an unnecessary rhetoric question: do you think we made it on purpose that there were dirty cups? Of course not! Just apologize for God's sake!
