An unforgettable night in Aarhus.

We stayed for visiting our family friend and it is our first time visit Aarhus. The hotel is right next to the infinite bridge and it has a nice pool and a beach. We were unfortunately having some unexpected accident but the night shift manager just kindly help us out. Very professional and very polite. They always has the phrase: no problem. As you wish. You really feel this is what you need for a holiday. Not super luxurious of course but is more than enough you can enjoy.

Not recommended

If you are looking for a hotel with an aura of past glory, then this is it. In fact it too has left the premises. If you want to charge bar items to the room, that's a no "we have two different systems". Good they made it easy for themselves. If you want to drink something in your room, then what management thinks what we quest deserves are paper cups.

Our first stay at Helnan Marselis Hotel and we loved it! My sister stayed here twice and recommended it to us, and she was right. Stunning sea views, direct beach access, and a spacious room with comfy beds and a balcony overlooking the water. A delicious breakfast with plenty of fresh options and relaxing wellness facilities. Great location - walking distance to the Infinite Bridge, Marselisborg Castle and Deer Park, and just 10 minutes by bus to Aarhus city centre. Staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. We’ll definitely be back! 🌊❤️

Great stay at this lovely hotel. As a vegetarian, the breakfast was a bit weak and the TV in my room was impossible to turn on, but otherwise a great stay.

It is a charming seaside. Stunning view of the sea. The sounds of waves put you to sleep. The beach is right outside. You can walk to The Infinite Bridge, Marselisborg Deer Park and Marselisborg Castle. Bus ride to city Aarhus takes only 10 min. Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Specious room, comfortable beds, balcony with a sea view. Pool, sauna, steam and gym are available. The breakfast was delicious, plenty of choices and served with fresh bread. There is coffee machine available all day long (coffee, hot chocolate and teas) as complimentary. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. I would definitely stay here again.

I loved the proximity to the ocean and surrounding beauty spots. It was outside of the main city centre which meant it was peaceful and quiet, whilst the city was quick and easy to get to. We loved the indoor swimming pool and the buffet breakfast was very extensive. The furnishings were a little worn but the hotel itself was nice and clean.
