Top Aarhus Hotel Reviews
Hotel Atlantic
"Morgenmaden var så god, alt godt derfra"
Milling Hotel Ritz
"Generally ok, staff was helpful and nice (especially the ladies in reception and those in the breakfast room). Room was too small, I havent seen a small fridge there, no water kettle. However, snacks tea and coffee were included in the reception lobby. Oberall, a good deal for the money."
Boutique Hotel Royal
"In a great location, great staff very attentive. Our 5th stay."
Hotel Marselis
"All round first class"
CABINN Aarhus Hotel
"This hotel is in an unbeatable location in Aarhus, right next to the cathedral. The room had everything I needed for a short stay. Very happy with my stay."
Scandic Aarhus Vest
"This hotel had everything we needed and wanted and especially as our first stay after a long and grueling travel day(s) where our flight was cancelled and we had to scramble to get to Denmark at all. To come to a hotel with friendly and helpful staff with all the amenities we needed was wonderful! Our family of 4 (two kids: ages 4 and 6) stayed in a room with one double bed and a set of murphy twin bunk beds (pulls out of wall). We all slept well! It was second floor (called first floor in Denmark) and we sleep hot but the window opened and had the feature where you can latch it open just a crack (safety with little kids is important) so the temperature was great! Bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, soap so that was really nice. Everything was clean, the room and surroundings were quiet. Breakfast the next morning had many great options for both us and our kids. Parking was also simple/easy."
Hotel GUESTapart
"I loved staying here. It felt cozy and clean. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options. The property itself is beautiful and easy yo navigate."
Wakeup Aarhus
"We love the location of the hotel - the convenience being close to the train station and bus stop. The mall is also close as well as restaurants and convenience stores. And being close to the stations gave us easy access to the sites we wanted to visit. The staff are friendly and helpful. We'll surely book here on our next visit."
Belle Guldsmeden
"Entrance is on the 1st floor via a bridge. Really nice sauna!"
