First of, they do not have AC in the room. Unbearable, just a small table fan, a loud one at that. Second, need to get better at responding to messages. Tried several times without reply. Other than that the hotel is okey, very nice and welcoming staff. Nice breakfast.

13 Euro for a small 0.3, non alcoholic beer. Absurd. The whole bar and reception area smells of kitchen grease. Rooms lack privacy curtains, but are clean and spacious. Hotel is located in city center close to the river.

Unfortunately, our room was very hot during our stay. Although a fan was provided, it did little to cool the room down. We couldn’t keep the window open because of the heavy traffic noise just outside, which made it difficult to sleep. We asked if it was possible to change rooms, but unfortunately, no other rooms were available. We also had our bikes parked outside, and during the night someone stole the toolboxes mounted on them. This was not the hotel’s fault, but it did make us feel that the surrounding area was not particularly secure.

Vi havde en forfærdelig nat på hotellet. Familie værelset vi boede på havde ingen ventilation. Eneste mulighed for luft var et lille vindue ud mod en stærkt traffikeret gade. Temperaturen på værelset var 28 grader som gjorde at vi stort sett ikke sov. Det skal siges at personalet var søde, men hjælper ikke når værelset er så dårligt. Kan derfor ikke anbefale nogen at overnatte der. I hvert fald ikke på familieværelser som vender ud mod vejen. I tillæg var det også et dyrt rom som blev markedsført som et fint Design Hotel. Det er det ikke.

Helt greit hotell med fin beliggenhet i Ålborg. Frokosten var kjedelig. Det er ikke air condition. Lite og litt slitt bad. Tror uansett det er blant de bedre hotellene i Ålborg.

Majoitus oli perushyvä, mutta hinta oli korkea suhteessa majoituksen tasoon. Jouduimme pysäköimään ostoskeskuksen parkkihalliin, joka myös oli hintava. Henkilökunta vastaanotossa oli erittäin avuliasta! Hotels.comin kautta aamupalakaan ei kuulunut kalliiseen huonehintaan.

Hvis du noen gang har tenkt at hotellopphold har blitt litt for komfortable, kan Pier 5 være stedet for deg. Rommet var så dårlig ventilert at jeg vurderte å søke om oksygentillegg i resepsjonen. Å åpne vinduet var heller ikke noen optimal løsning, ettersom rommet lå rett mot en trafikkert vei. Resultatet var et spennende valg mellom å sove i et drivhus eller å tilbringe natten som observatør på Danmarks mest høylytte bilvei. Renholdet fortjener også en egen omtale. Jeg er usikker på om støvet var inkludert i romprisen eller om det var et historisk innslag fra tidligere gjester. Badet ga inntrykk av at rengjøringspersonalet hadde vært innom i ånden, men ikke fysisk. Nattesøvnen ble en fascinerende kombinasjon av tung inneluft, trafikkstøy og en stadig voksende lengsel etter mitt eget hjem. Jeg kom til Ålborg for å besøke byen, men endte med å bli ekspert på eksosanlegg og ventilasjonsmangel. Kort sagt: Dersom du ønsker frisk luft, rene rom og en god natts søvn, bør du kanskje se deg om etter et annet hotell. Dersom du derimot savner følelsen av å campe midt i et veikryss med vinduene lukket, er dette et opplagt valg. 🚗💨😅

Top Lage im Stadtzentrum und direkt am Limfjord. Toller Aufenthaltsraum / Frühstückstaum. Tolle Familienzimmer. Sehr Sauber. Super freundliches Personal. Einziger Nachteil; Parkplätze sind knapp. Es gibt zwar einige vor dem Hotel. Eine Platzgarantie gibt es nicht. Aalborg ist ein tolle, saubere und schöne Stadt

Rommene var rene og personalet var vennlige og imøtekommende. Eneste som manglet var skikkelige vifter/air conditioning, ble veldig varmt på rommet, og det var ikke tilstrekkelig med den lille bordviften som var tilgjengelig på rommet.
