My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, but unfortunately, they were not very clean. The service was helpful, though it could have been more friendly and prompt. The location was perfect for exploring Århus, with convenient access to key attractions, but the room facing the main road was a downside. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, offering high-quality organic meals. Overall, the hotel provided a somewhat comfortable stay with room for improvement in cleanliness and service.

The dining experience is mixed, with fresh organic products but limited vegetable options. Overall, a unique stay with both positive and negative aspects.

The hotel had fairly comfortable rooms, though a bit small, with no AC and standard seating chairs that were okay but not great for long periods. The location was convenient for a short stay and prioritized being close to a bus stop for airport access and Moesgaard museum. Despite the small bathrooms and warm temperatures without AC, the central placement near the train station and town hall was ideal for exploring Århus.

Rooms

The rooms, while small and lacking AC, were sufficient for a short stay. The seating was standard but not overly comfortable for extended TV watching or desk work.

The staff was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to assist. However, hygiene practices with hand sanitizer could have been improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small and with a surprising layout, offered a nice view towards the park but could use some updating in terms of aesthetics. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff always ready to assist. The location was perfect, very near the railway station and central to all my needs. The dining experience was delightful, offering a variety of delicate options. The facilities were modern and well-kept.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very small and in poor condition, not up to the standards I expected for a 4-star hotel. The safety box was tiny, there was no fridge, and the room had an unfortunate warmth to it, alongside a lingering sewage smell that the staff tried to dismiss. However, they did inquire about any potential actions I might have taken in the room, which was odd.

Rooms

The rooms were very small and not well-maintained. They had a burn mark on the carpet and lacked basic amenities like a proper-sized safety box and a fridge. The room was uncomfortably warm and had a noticeable sewage odor.
Service

The staff dealt with issues efficiently, but their reaction to the unpleasant smell in the room was dismissive. Although they were polite and supportive, their strange questioning about my activities in the room was off-putting.
Location

On the positive side, the hotel's location was excellent for exploring Århus, with a beautiful view of the Aros rainbow just outside. It was conveniently near the railway station, making travel easy. However, the interior could use some brightening up to match the comfort and size of the rooms.
