“Old fashioned but elegant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

When I am on business travel I always prefer to stay in places that carry some part of the history of the city they are in. The Phonix seems to be such a case, it just melds with the surrounding city and gives you a nice, warm feeling.
I have stayed here many times and never had an issue with staff or the rooms. Furthermore, the hotel is practically in the town center and you get easy access wherever you need to go.
The hotel is easily recommended for busyness!

“Fine for an overnighter”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

Old-school hotel. A bit worn here and there but location is good and staff are friendly and service you well. Secure parking at the back of the hotel (dkk 75 extra).

Did not try the restaurant - there are loads of good places to eat in Aalborg, but is seemed a little dark and empty. Breakfast was included in the price and lived up to my expectations.

“Nice old hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

We stayed here passing through on holiday. For two nights.
The room looked a bit old, but was in pretty good shape and was quite large. The staff was nice. Parking in the backyard, and close to everything downtown. The restaurant was ok, but we recommend the budget traveller to check out the fast food options nearby.

“Decent hotel in a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

I stayed at this hotel when travelling on business to Aalborg. I booked a single room but ended up with a twin bed. I suspect all rooms are equipped with at least that size of bed. The room was well appointed and of average size by European standards. The bed was extremely comfortable. The only negative to the room was that the walls seem to be quite thin. There were a few occasions when I could easily hear my neighbouring guest carrying on a telephone conversation.

The breakfast was excellent! Compared to most other breakfasts I've had supplied in European hotels this one had a great deal of selection. Not much in the way of hot foods, just sausage, potato and scrambled eggs but plenty of cold cuts, breads, cereals and fruit.

The location relative to the centre of Aalborg was also a plus. Really, other than the bit of noise from the other rooms this hotel was great.

Oh, one last thing. If you plan on using the gym regularly it was dead first thing in the morning. Bare in mind that the equipment is quite dated and there is limited selection. No free weights.

Room Tip: Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

“Old Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011 via mobile

The desk staff seemed indifferent and drab. The restaurant was cosy and the menu basic but good quality food. I tried the steak which was very good. Breakfast was a cold buffet. On entering my room it struck me as being worn and tatty. Bathroom extractor not working. Very stuffy in the bedroom hence the tabletop oscillating fan on the bedside table!
