The property was in a great location with friendly staff. The building was run down and the out side stunk of pee from all the drunk guest to lazy to go back to there rooms
The most wonderful, sweet and helpful staff.
Brilliant location. I could even buy a parking spot overnight.
I did book a double room with my own bathroom.
Considering this is a Hostel, I really got bang for my buck. Of course it simple and not any extra additionally. But you don’t expect that knowing that you payed probably a third of what a regular hotel in Århus - High season - would charge.
I’ll be back. Thanks you so much!
Located in the center of the city and convenient to move anywhere. Nice and friendly staffs. Clean environment. But a bit inconvenient to take a shower (I understand its function definitely saves water a lot, though).
The Staff was friendly, Sanitary a little dirty. Floors sticky. Nothing to put your stuff into. Or even onto. Little shelves would be nice for example. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Moved to a hotel instead.
Small, cramped and cold. Check-in became self check-in the day before because it is outside high-season.
The mattress was good but off center, so I nearly feel out of the bed twice. The toilets were nice and clean, with the exception of the ugle and damaged floor. The paper towel was also at a laughable quality.
Doing check-out in the early morning I struggled to find the box where I should return the key card to, as there where no notice.
Room was awfully hot. That combined with no active cooling (which is pretty normal in Denmark) or option to open a window properly, due to a safety concern i guess, resulted in quite a bad nights sleep.
We were there on a windy spring day with lots of sun (but not directly on the window), with low outside temperatures. The location is very central and noisy in the weekends.
I can only imagine how warm the room must be on a hot summer day.
Apart from being very hot, no option to open a window wide enough to cool it down, and noisy weekends, the room was fine and clean.
Oh, the sink was nearly clugged aswell.
