Best location
It was a very pleasant stay with beautiful ocean view room right with a beautiful beach . Very good breakfast, lovely with gym and swimming pool and the breakfast was amazing. The only minus was that you have to pay for parking. That was annoying.

Great location and view, large room, large bathroom. Comfy beds.
Everything is very dated. The hotel really needs renovation. Old and small tv, limited channel. Poor wifi. Room got very warm - no A/C.
Great when arriving by car, large car park (charged).
Average breakfast.

An unforgettable night in Aarhus.
We stayed for visiting our family friend and it is our first time visit Aarhus. The hotel is right next to the infinite bridge and it has a nice pool and a beach.
We were unfortunately having some unexpected accident but the night shift manager just kindly help us out. Very professional and very polite.
They always has the phrase: no problem. As you wish. You really feel this is what you need for a holiday. Not super luxurious of course but is more than enough you can enjoy.

Not recommended
If you are looking for a hotel with an aura of past glory, then this is it. In fact it too has left the premises.
If you want to charge bar items to the room, that's a no "we have two different systems". Good they made it easy for themselves.
If you want to drink something in your room, then what management thinks what we quest deserves are paper cups.

Venligt personale - Nedslidt hotel!
Serveringspersonslet og receptionen var venlige og imødekommende og gjorde en god indsats.
Desværre er hotellet i meget dårlig stand, og der er sparet på selv basal rengøring og vedligeholdelse. Min kones topmadras var opslidt og måtte udskiftes ( af receptionisten selv, da “teknikafdelingen” ikke kunne træffes(!) )
Badeværelset lugtede fra afløbet,
Der var bagfald i brusekabinen, så vandet ikke løb væk.
Rækværket på altanen var grønt af alger.
Hvorfor kun én (rusten) stol på altanen til et par?
Ukrudt mellem fliserne på solterrassen, som ikke var blevet fejet for nylig.
Parkeringen er udliciteret til et parkeringsselskab. Men markeringerne af pladserne var slidt væk, så folk holdt tilfældigt med så stor afstand at der ikke var plads til dem der kom sidst.
Hotellet trænger generelt hårdt til en opdatering.

Skønt sted
Et fantastisk sted 👍
Det var de små ting der manglede - toiletpapir, kaffe i reception var tom, vasken var stoppet og der manglede farin til Irish coffee 😊

Ok hotel og hellere ikke mere end det
Hotellet ligger godt. Vores værelse var OK , men lidt slidt både stor vinduesparti samt badeværelses dør.
Morgenmads buffet var OK men det var meget tydeligt der manglede personale der kunne rydde op efter folke der var gået.
