Best location

It was a very pleasant stay with beautiful ocean view room right with a beautiful beach . Very good breakfast, lovely with gym and swimming pool and the breakfast was amazing. The only minus was that you have to pay for parking. That was annoying.

Amazing location in Aarhus and we booked for the sea view + spa, but the stay was unfortunately underwhelming. One day before arrival we were told the spa was closed due to repairs and we could cancel. With family + pregnancy and no good last-minute alternatives, we still checked in (stressful start). At check-in we were then told the restaurant was closed (except breakfast) and our family room was in the annex. Even after sharing our disappointment, we were told nothing could be done. The room was nice, but the view was to a parking area, and being in the annex meant extra hassle (and cold winter walks) to reach breakfast/spa. After contacting Hotels.com, we were offered a room in the main building — but with an additional fee. That change made a big difference and the experience improved a lot. Unfortunately, the same day the sauna went out of use for the rest of our stay. We also saw guests walking around the pool area in running shoes, and reception didn’t see it as a red flag until we insisted. This hotel has real potential, but right now it’s a “maybe stay” rather than a must.

Det er anden gang i år, at jeg ankommer til et hotel, der ikke serverer aftensmad grundet konference. Det synes jeg er under al kritik. Når man vælger Marselis er det - for mig om ikke andet - fordi, man er ude af byen og ude i naturen. Det betyder så også, at der ikke er andre restauranter i nærheden, og så ender man med at skulle sidde os spise take away på sit værelse. Det er ikke fedt. For ikke at sige decideret nederen. Det kunne man godt have gjort oopmærksom på på forhånd i stedet for at det var en overraskelse, når man tjekkede ind. Hotellet har i flere år tvivl mit go-to hotel i Aarhus, men jeg tvivler på, at jeg eller mine medarbejdere kommer tilbage af denne årsag. Det var en kæmpe gene. Det kunne man godt have gjort mere ud af, at informere om på forhånd.
