It has been a nice stay for 5 days. Very nice staff, very friendly and ready to help. Only thing there is no cleaner unless you read a very small sign and request it for the next day

This has been my go to hotel for the last 2.5 years.
Achol, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We went on a vacation from the US to visit our family in Aalborg. The location was great and close to everything downtown Aalborg. The hotel staff were friendly, and accommodation were very clean. Drinks in the hotel bar were fantastic although not always open and especially not late. Hotel was quick to give us extra pillows, towels, and even microwave food or hold things in a guest fridge as they do not provide those in the rooms. Bathrooms were smaller than we thought they would be, but made it work! It was amazing to be able to rent some bikes from the hotel to ride around!

Quite Good

Room was nice but was not cleaned and no towels changed during the whole stay. Maybe they don’t do this anymore? Also, there was often no one at front desk when needed. The hotel facilities are great, gym and there’s a new restaurant. The location is also good and quiet.

Bon hôtel si vue sur le fjord … sinon je ne sais pas si ça vaut le prix. Attention pas de restaurant à l’hôtel le samedi et dimanche. Un peu cher pour ce qui est proposé dans les chambres de luxe. Petit-déjeuner excellent, vélo à louer pour la journée (bon état et prix correct)

Fint hotell med bra beliggenhet

Hyggelig hotell og fin beliggenhet. Litt få parkeringsplasser og dusjforheng (føles lite hygienisk) trekker ned. Moderne og fint interiør.

6/10 Good

God beliggenhet, men mye støy fra veien

God beliggenhet, men støy fra veien rett utenfor. Pga varmt vær måtte vi ha vinduet åpent. Dyrt å kjøpe frokost på hotellet, og det var ikke mulig å bestille med frokost via hotels.com. Finnes andre gode frokostalternativer i byen - bl.a. café Penny Lane.

Aalborg havnefront

Dejligt hotel med god beliggenhed ved havnefronten og tæt på shopping muligheder og enkelte restauranter. Super service af personalet. Både i baren og receptionen. Værelset var rent. Eneste minus er at rengøring skal bestilles dagen før inden kl.18. Det virkede ikke for os.
Rene, 3-night trip

Fint opphold totalt sett, men et minus som trekker ned - Ikke AC på noen av rommrne, veldig varmt på nettene i Juli.
