I was expecting a 4 star hotel, which I actually got was a tired 70a/80s basic 3* hotel (eg the sort that keep afloat by booking in budget coach holidays) This failure to meet expectations makes this review harsher than it would have been if I had been expecting a 3*, as it is a reasonable budget 3* hotel.
On the positiives, it had a good choice of buffet breakfast, location was 5mins drive to the city centre, bathrooms in hotel are reasonable quality, Fridge in room. Value for money for a 3* hotel was reasonable (but would have prefered to pay more and have a better standard of hotel). Internet access available in lobby, Big car park - drive in and the barrier opens, token needed to get out again.
On the negatives, these mainly surround tired and dated decor/equipment. The lifts were obviously 30 years old, and although worked, made loud clanking noises. Furniture in room was late 70s/early 80s and while perfectly usable, looked well used. Picture over bed had big crack. Door to balcony had small window in top that did not shut properly which meant the room was quite noisy as the room overlooked the front of the hotel, with a main road between the hotel and park opposite. Room painted grey - mmm!. No aircon in any rooms in hotel.
Toiler roll was not replaced on 1st night, so had to go down to reception for more, and got handed 2 to take back, so seemed like a normal occurance. You could see that the carpet was grey with dust under the bed, where it had obviously not been cleaned for a long time - the rest of the room was cleaned well.
Breakfast was in a conference room, which seemed still set up for conferences with the way tables were set out in long rows at the rear - zero ambience. Given quality of hotel, did not eat there for evening meal and went into Aalborg where wide choice of restaurants.
The bill was charged in full on arrival - that says it all, as they must have had people leaving when they saw that it was budget 3* rather than plush 4*.
If you want a basic budget 3* this will be fine. If you want a 4* pay more and go to the Radisson which is right on the river/fiord front, and looked much nicer.
