My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, but unfortunately, they were not very clean.

7.8/10

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.

5.8/10

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.
