From the outside, the hotel looks like a 70s barracks. Parking for a fee. The reception is really nice with a quick and friendly check-in. Unfortunately, there is no option for cake tapas in the afternoon, not even with a pre-order - there is free coffee - here you could lift up with a vending machine, similar to the one in the lunch area - or you just had to use it. But the location directly by the water and the old style of construction have the advantage that you sleep peacefully. Lovely new bed. The rest of the furniture is obviously being replaced little by little - it also needs it. The balcony was not ready for the new season. The railing and floor were not sanded and painted, the chair still had a green finish after the winter. Windows should be cleaned inside and out for fingerprints etc. . The bathroom is clean and without mold. But the shower curtain does not reach all the way around, so you have to remove everything from the sink if you don't want it to get wet. The whole bathroom is floating, as the slope goes under the sink. Breakfast fantastic, everything you could imagine was there. But again old furniture. Great and helpful staff everywhere. Extra thanks for a clean room. Will definitely come again.

Good clean rooms. Expensive parking. Food menu not a great choice. Expensive. But very good quality.

Nice 4* hotel at Aarhus bay directly at the beach. Comfortable charming bedrooms mostly with sea view. The hotel might require a bit of a renovation here and there, as some parts appear a bit outdated. But in general really nice.

Fantastic view of the water, lovely pool and nice breakfast. Family rooms also have a bathtub 😊 we were surprised, however, that during Pentecost the restaurant was closed in the evening, so we had to order pizza from outside. And ice cubes were not available either....
