Great view of the sea, clean and quiet. The twin beds were a problem with constant separation in the midddle, and the tub could barely fit two feet side by side. Not very hygge.

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.

Skønt sted med direkte adgang til stranden og vandet. God morgenmad. Tog en nat ekstra og nød den gode udsigt udover havet. Eneste minus er den beskedne drikskort:) Kan klart anbefales.

Kvaliteten af Morgenmadsmenuen var ikke særlig god. Vi kunne ikke få aftensmad på ankomstdagen, fordi alle bordene i restauranten var optaget Vi fik en venlig modtagelse og hjælp til parkering og indkvartering, men eller virkede personalet uengagerede. Vores værelse var pænt og rent. Ellers virkede hotellet nedslidt. Der var mange og lange gange vi skulle gå op og nedad fra receptionen til vores værelse.

Skøn beliggenhed. Jeg var sammen med familien med små børn, der elsker stranden og poolen. Dejlig morgenmad 🍳, venligt personale, men hotellet bærer præg af at være meget slidt. Opholdet blev kombineret med en oplevelse i Musikhuset. Priserne på hotellet varierer meget og vi er efterhånden kommet der mange gange. Denne gang kostede et dobbeltværelse over 1800 kr for 1 nat og med 2 værelser er jeg ikke sikker på, at vi kommer der meget mere.
