Best Aarhus Hotels

My wife and I stayed for three nights at the hotel, attending a conference in Aarhus. The hotel is very central located, almost opposite the railway station and with excellent access to the shopping streets. The hotel is a little old fashioned, but very charming in an art deco style. The room we had was quite small with almost no place for storing suitcases, and located on the first floor close to the entrance of the hotel. However, as we were told in advance, the location could be quite noisy, it surprised us positively that it was very quiet, almost no disturbing from the pedestrians or the traffic outside. Breakfast was served downstairs in a wine cellar, it lseems. Breakfast was sumptous and good, typical Danish food and with multiple choices. Staff was attentive and friendly. In the loppy free coffee, fruit and cakes were available free of charge for the guests in a nice, but small place to sit down for small talks after the meetings. We came by car and was offered parking space in a parking garage about five minutes walk from the hotel. OK, but not so practical for travellers with heavy luggage, as it was not so easy to park outside the hotel. The elevator was old fashioned and quite small, no problem for us staying on the first floor, but more challenging for those staying at the upper floors. Except for the small size of our room, the hotel gives us good memories, definitely one to recommend if you are looking for central location and not going after aultramodern. It offered a solid brakfast and a central location. Best for couples, perhaps not so good for families with small children. Henry J Grindheim, Asker, Norway

As returning clients of more than a decade we were shocked and appalled when we learned first-hand of the hospitality- or lack of same- of the new owners. The Bühlmann family, or should I say familia with all the not-so-nice Godfatherly connotations of this word, are rude and unpleasant in the extreme, bordering on the downright intimidating. We used to regard Hotel Villa Provence as a home away from home but will now earnestly advise everybody to simply not go there. When we tried to book a room and had agreed on our usual price (DKK 1890) we received a confirmation with the price well above DKK 2000. A subsequent complaint over email resulted in the price going further up - this time DKK 2.220- and when we finally phoned the reception the young and clearly incompetent assistant was rude and insolent in the extreme. I asked to get the manager on the phone and had to endure a thankfully rather brief conversation, in the course of which I was told to stay away and in future would be physically barred from entering any of the hotels owned by la sua familia, The Bühlmanns. During the call I had the distinct impression that Le Padrone might be drunk- or worse. We promptly cancelled our Easter vacation in Aalborg at Pier Five, another hapless establisment in the clutches of La Familia Bühlmann, and vowed to terminate our dealings with Godfather and his ilk. Not without compunctions, though. Hotel Villa Provence used to provide genuine hospitality and service sans pareille- and we have spent vacations both at the Castello Di Velona in Tuscany and Spaletti Trivelli in Rome. However, all good things have an end and nothing lasts forever: Sic transit Gloria Mundi! Dear fellow connoisseur of fine hospitality and travelling: Dont even think of going near the place unless you want a real-life Basil Fawltyesque experience- only without the comedy but most surely with a genuinely intimidating peppering of something very, very unpleasant.

A very nice hotel, the environment is very quiet, the rooms are uniquely decorated, there is a kitchen in the room, you can cook by yourself, which is very good, the plates, bowls, pots, etc. are all available, a very good experience

The traffic is really convenient! In the city center, you don't say that you are adjacent to the main transportation hub, the art museum attractions and the supermarket. The hotel is also clean and tidy! Very good! Breakfast is also quite rich. Also equipped with a gym.

The guesthouse is located a moderate walk from the city centre but you can take the tram (if you can negotiate the faulty ticket-purchase system). Owner is friendly and helpful. Guests may use the kitchen to prepare breakfast etc. The place is clean and the wi-fi works.

Booked a single room, the room is a bit mini, the bathroom is indeed a bit small. But the service is very good and the breakfast is very good. The overall price of Denmark is very high, The price/performance ratio of two minutes walk from the train station is still ok.

After Arriving in Denmark from Vietnam for a business trip, this hotel was a stone through from the office where I was going to be spending the next 10 days in Aarhus, Denmark. The Hotel is modern, functional and clean, the room was comfortable, and the breakfast was perfect, the staff were always attentive and my overall experience during my stay was excellent. The hotel is somewhat outside of the town of Aarhus, but a small frequent train/tram service is literally a few hundred meters walk from the hotel... the hotel as a small bar where you can enjoy a nice cold pint of Danish Beer!!!
