I’ve been many times here and I really like it. Very good location, very friendly staff, good breakfast. During a stay in January 2024 I had to shorten my days and they were able to split my stay and save these days for a further stay. The only “but” is room 105 has a tinny bathroom, small shower, very uncomfortable.

Hotel's Favourite
This hotel is located just across the street from the main train station. If you are making a trip from Copenhagen, this could not be a better location. The hotel reception was pleasant. The rooms are not that large. In Europe, I noticed the rooms tend to be on the smaller side. The price was reasonable. Heating was radiator based and honestly it does not get that warm. But, it was tolerable. The bathrooms were proportionally smaller. There is a top notch restaurant in the hotel and it could be another reason to stay here. The breakfast was in that same restaurant. I am not sure breakfast is free for all patrons, as I had to pay for breakfast in the room rate. Breakfast was a good spread. You can visit most of the touristy places by walking. The main shopping district and the restaurant scene is close by. Good choice to stay at this hotel.

The furnitures in the rooms are very outdated and there is no frigde. But the Staff is friendly and the location is great, just next to the main station in Århus. The breakfeast is good if you have no special needs. They also have a glutenfree and plantbased section which is quiet nice. But if you are staying in your room a lot during the day, it is very uninspirering.

Never got to stay in hotel, parking difficult. I saw after I booked that there was no parking at the hotel, but that you could park at nearby shopping centre. The city full of snow and driving difficult. I could not find the parking after entering it into my sat nav and passing several times around the block. I called the hotel for some help, the chap on the desk spoke to me like I was an idiot and said that I should put it in my sat nav. He said that it would not be possible for him to help me over the phone with directions to the parking. I cancelled my reservation and went to the raddison red hotel which has parking linked to the hotel. Disappointing.

Dear stuartnufc I am so truly sorry when I read your comment regarding our parking. We have tried to inform on our website that our parking is temporarily closed and we refer to Bruuns Galleri, however we must inform and help our guest to find the way. I therefore take this very serious and have spoken to my colleagues. I hope we get a chance welcoming you one day in the future so we can show you this is a mistake. Kind regards Marlene

The room I got was very small and close to below standard. For the price I paid in a city like Aarhus it was too much to pay. The staff at the reception didn't seem very accommodating and professional. I would consider better hotel accommodation.

Dear galexa170896 Thank you so much for your stay with us and for taking the time to give us feedback that means a lot. I am so sorry to read your comments regarding my colleagues since that is not at all how we intend to be every guest must have good service! In relation to the size of the room then hotel was built many years ago, therefore we also have many different room sizes and room categories, and some are smaller than others. We try to communicate that also by calling them single economy, but you are always very welcome to contact us so we can find another type of room for you which are larger with a larger bathroom, we would very much like that. I hope we get a chance welcoming you back very soon. Kind regards Marlene

Convenient place next to an airport bus stop, city center, and harbor, reception open at night, great breakfast with multichoices food. Unfortunately, next to a loud street and affected by morning food delivery noise.

Nils L wrote a review Sept 2023
Copenhagen, Denmark3 contributions14 helpful votes
I arrived late and was first assigned to room 503 and really just needed to go to bed. I estimate that the temperature in the room was +35°C (95 F). It is completely unacceptable that anyone should be offered to sleep (attempt to) in that heat. At the reception I was met with understanding but was told that all rooms were sold out. I was offered a fan, which however only creates a draft and not a lower temperature. I asked about the possibility of a room in one of the other Scandic hotels in town; a service Scandic does not offer. When I came back after parking my car I was lucky there had just been a cancellation for room 305, which I got instead. Small but with an acceptable room temperature. Scandic Mayor should ensure that rooms are not allocated if they cannot maintain an acceptable temperature. And it is not achieved with a fan or windows that can only be opened 2.5 cm / 1 inch.

Dear Nils L Thank you for your recent stay with us and for your feedback that is very important to us. We deeply regret the inconvenience you experienced due to the high temperature in your first room. We understand how important it is to be able to rest comfortably and sleep in a comfortable temperature. We are sorry that we could not offer you another room immediately, as all our other rooms were booked. We always strive to provide the best experience for our guests, and in this situation, unfortunately, we could not live up to your expectations. We take your feedback very serious and will also evaluate the possibility of offering alternative solutions, such as arranging rooms in our other hotels, if such situations arise in the future, we normally correspond with all other hotels in the city during the day, so this m,ust be a misunderstanding form our side.

Copenhagen Region, Denmark1 contribution
Positive things: Mostly :) Great location. Just 2 min. from Aarhus H main station. Friendly staff. I stayed in a room facing a park. was allowed to choose by the staff. Hotel has a gym and a sauna (both small in area but well-maintained). Rest all usual things were very good. The only reason for not giving this hotel a 5 rating is that: one negative: the breakfast (although good in taste) requires changes in menu. This is especially important for people staying more than 2 days. I understand many things like pastries, fruit, juice, etc. will be required to be same but it will be better to have more changes in the hot dishes rather than at-most same thing everyday.
