Really nice stay.
Great stay at this lovely hotel. As a vegetarian, the breakfast was a bit weak and the TV in my room was impossible to turn on, but otherwise a great stay.

It is a charming seaside. Stunning view of the sea. The sounds of waves put you to sleep. The beach is right outside.
You can walk to The Infinite Bridge, Marselisborg Deer Park and Marselisborg Castle.
Bus ride to city Aarhus takes only 10 min.
Staff are friendly, helpful and professional.
Specious room, comfortable beds, balcony with a sea view.
Pool, sauna, steam and gym are available.
The breakfast was delicious, plenty of choices and served with fresh bread.
There is coffee machine available all day long (coffee, hot chocolate and teas) as complimentary.
It was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
I would definitely stay here again.

I loved the proximity to the ocean and surrounding beauty spots. It was outside of the main city centre which meant it was peaceful and quiet, whilst the city was quick and easy to get to. We loved the indoor swimming pool and the buffet breakfast was very extensive. The furnishings were a little worn but the hotel itself was nice and clean.

No kettle in room or tea/coffee making facilities. Small facility for making your own in the reception. Ate at the restaurant once and regretted it. Portions small , limited menu and had to wait an age to be served. Very poor service. Everything else about the hotel was good though.

Wonderful place for getting a good rest
Lovely hotel, super-friendly staff, very clean, and extra compliments to the kitchen - super breakfast and the dinner was exquisite 👌
The hotel is near the Marselisborg Forests in one direction, and 30mins walk into Aarhus centre in the other direction - plus the beach and sea is right in front of you - a perfect location if you love walking and want to get a good rest by the sea in the evening, hearing the waves crashing all night. Bliss!
I would book again - the sea view rooms are wonderful.

Always my top choice in Aarhus - been coming here for over 15 years and I think all the rooms have now been refurbished. There are other improvements underway and a new chef I believe who was very helpful during this visit with my dental problem! Shame that they have introduced parking fees from a 3rd party - that's my only negative. All staff are always so helpful and cannot do enough for you. Just be aware that the restaurant is closed on a Sunday and can get full if there are large events happening. Was lucky enough to see porpoise in the bay outside the hotel again this visit and always enjoy walks along the beach and the forest.

The reception were poorly briefed. The dining staff were excellent. The swimming pool and the ability to watch kayaking from our room was a delight.
