Bang for your buck on brilliant location

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!

First, last and only stay.

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.

Too hot - bad sleep

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.

It was clean, staff were friendly enough. But they charged us to leave our luggage with them! Although we were going to stay with them for five days. The room was clean but very small. The bathroom was clean and practical. Room was very hot as there is no air-con, so there was no option except to open the window. But it was really really noisy. And noise and music was nonstop whole night till 6 in the morning. Between heat and noise, we didn't sleep at all. I won't stay there again

Wir mochten den Aufenthalt sehr gerne und waren sehr positiv überrascht. Für den Preis den wir bezahlt haben, haben wir nicht so eine gute Unterkunft erwartet. Die Zimmer waren schön, die Betten bequem, nur ein wenig durchgelegen und die Gemeinschaftsbäder absolut sauber und nutzbar. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist ganz gut ausgestattet, aber wie das bei Gemeinschaftsküchen ist, ist der Kühlschrank voll mit Lebensmitteln, die teilweise auch mehrere Monate abgelaufen sind. Trotzdem gut die Küche zu haben, vor allem wenn man wie wir als Schüler auf Budget reist. Rundum ein schöner Aufenthalt, würden wir definitiv weiterempfehlen:)

Vores værelse lå desværre lige ved siden af hovedindgangen til hotellet, vi kunne derfor høre folk gå ind og ud, og døren gå op og i, hvilket vækkede os adskillige gange i løbet af aften/natten. Samt kom der lastbiler der skulle aflæsse varer tidligt om morgenen, som vi også blev vækket af. På værelset var der lidt små beskidt på gulvet og der var sand på madrassen på den store seng, samt senge lampe på væggen sad ikke ordentligt fast, så den faldt ned adskillige gange. Personalet på stedet var dog rigtig flinke og søde. Og deres morgenmads buffet også god.

Prisbilligt alternativ til central overnatning

Fint centralt beliggende hostel centralt i Århus. Der er hvad der behøves, men heller ikke mere. Sengene er fine, vores værelse havde bad og det var fint - pænt og rent Køkkenet er meget lille, det er helt umuligt, hvis to skal lave mad samtidig. Jeg vil opfordre Danhostel til at opgradere her. I weekenderne er der en del støj fra gaden, men der er nok hvad man må forvente med den beliggenhed, ørepropper er anbefalet herfra. De ansatte gør et stort arbejde med at holde stedet rent og pænt, og personalet i receptionen er venlig og imødekommende.
