Beautiful Hotel and great staff. I would stay again. This hotel is a little off the beaten path and could use a small convenience store. Another item which would be a benefit to the hotel would be a small fridge and coffee tea kettle in room. No suppers served on weekends. There is a coffee pot and tea station in the lobby.

The location with beach access and sea views are the star of this hotel. Food and drinks were basic. Sea view rooms become saunas unless you leave both interior and exterior doors open to allow for an air flow opportunity. This hotel does not have laundry facilities as listed, but rather a room with irons set up. Staff seemed to be 'busy' and overwhelmed, every request for service was met with as sense of inconvenience.

Amazing location in Aarhus and we booked for the sea view + spa, but the stay was unfortunately underwhelming. One day before arrival we were told the spa was closed due to repairs and we could cancel. With family + pregnancy and no good last-minute alternatives, we still checked in (stressful start). At check-in we were then told the restaurant was closed (except breakfast) and our family room was in the annex. Even after sharing our disappointment, we were told nothing could be done. The room was nice, but the view was to a parking area, and being in the annex meant extra hassle (and cold winter walks) to reach breakfast/spa. After contacting Hotels.com, we were offered a room in the main building — but with an additional fee. That change made a big difference and the experience improved a lot. Unfortunately, the same day the sauna went out of use for the rest of our stay. We also saw guests walking around the pool area in running shoes, and reception didn’t see it as a red flag until we insisted. This hotel has real potential, but right now it’s a “maybe stay” rather than a must.

Fint værelse og hyggeligt og autentisk hotel med smuk placering. Værelser er lidt ældre og badeværelse efterlader lidt at ønske. Morgenmaden var skuffende. Mindre udvalg og svingende kvalitet. Men charmen og udsigten på hotellet trækker gevaldigt op.

Skuffende oplevelse. Ved check-in spurgte vi specifikt, om vi måtte parkere foran hotellet, og fik at vide, at det var helt i orden. Da vi skulle hjem, havde vi fået en parkeringsafgift. Hotellet har efterfølgende erkendt, at receptionen ikke informerede korrekt, men ønskede alligevel ikke at tage ansvar for fejlen. Derudover manglede der håndsæbe og toiletpapir på værelset, og vi måtte selv henvende os i receptionen for at få det udleveret. Samlet set levede servicen ikke op til vores forventninger, og vi kommer desværre ikke igen.

Fint hotel med en virkelig outstanding udsigt på værelserne mod havet. Hotellet er lidt 80’er agtigt og trænger til en opgradering i fællesarealerne og værelserne . På værelserne kunne der godt være en vandkedel med kaffe/ te . Lidt kedelige produkter men det virker - meget rent og fungerer fint for en enkelt overnatning eller to . Synes det var en lidt upersonlig check in og ud - selvom personalet var flinke . Mangler et professionelt touch. Kan godt anbefales men ikke for hotel oplevelsen, men mere beliggenheden .
