8.0 out of 10, Very good, (728 reviews)
"Almost excellent. Charming. Beautifully decorated. Convenient to Aarhus & Silkeborg. Rooms could have used a lick of fresh paint and bathrooms needed updating. Also a vacuum in the hallway. Dinner in the dining room was very well prepared, albeit with a limited menu. Could easily be so much more. Still, we enjoyed it more than the star ratings suggest. So romantic!"

Boutique Hotel Royal

Boutique Hotel Royal

6/10 Okay
"I stayed for 4 nights in the Royal Superior room. Charming and vintage hotel, but definitely, not a 5 star one. It is overpriced for what it offers. Breakfast was good, but repetitive. The location was excellent, although there is noise from the nearby restaurants and night clubs. A noise canceling set of headphones will be very helpful at night. FYI: A 1000 kr deposit will be held on arrival for the minibar."
