This was a nice hotel to stay in Aarhus. The setting is by far the best feature, with lovely views over the beach and surrounding bay. The breakfast was fine and the beds comfortable. As it was winter is felt like a bit of a pain to try and get down to the city centre but all in all it... More

The fantastic seaside location of this hotel and all rooms facing east is the hotels greatest asset. The sound of the waves hitting the shoreline helps get a good deep sleep, and the sunrise in the morning is amazing. Too bad the atmosphere and quality of food in the restaurant is a bit "cheap/basic", otherwise the rating would be higher.

Well, as I seem to be cursed in this area, the best hotels I've ever stayed in I don't get to spend much time in. This room was GREAT. Nice room, several English TV channels, free working internet, and great EU breakfast. Staff was knowlegeable and helpful. My room was a long walking distance with my luggage which I didn't... More

The hotel enjoys a beautiful seaside location in the exclsuive part of Aarhus, about 3kms from the city. Unfortunately, there is too much "sitting on it's laurels". Service is mediocre and even poor in the overpriced restaurant and during my stay was never free from flies. Breakfast (buffet) is OK - usual euro fayre. My room was subject to only... More

The surroundings and the view is nothing short of breathtaking. Everything else is pretty much mediocre. The service appears to be spread quite thin, so don't get surprised about considerable waiting time at the reception, even if there is only one other couple. The breakfast buffet is ok, standard fare without ever getting close to something memorable. The rooms have... More

I have stayed here several times now, and it is indeed a great hotel. Many of the rooms have a great view of the sea, and all seem to be quite big with a desk, two chairs and a table, big bed, etc.. Rooms are always clean and good looking. The Breakfast is really good and has a large variety... More

We stayed here for one night in July. The hotel was beautifully located on the sandy beach just outside the city center. Service was excellent! We stayed in a big room in a Danish country style farm house, no view but great space for three kids. Most rooms in the hotels have views, but they seem to be standard double... More

The view of the bay and the helpful friendly staff are the assets of the Aarhus icon Marselis. I stayed here very often in the 80s and early 90s in the days of high furniture and design standards at Marselis. Thats all history unfortunately. However we enjoyed at wonderful return to Aarhus and our stay at Marselis was good: good... More

My wife and I stayed here for our last 2 nights of our honeymoon and we wished we could have stayed longer. We had a beach front room which led out to the patio and a beautiful view. The staff was extremely friendly, especially the brother and sister bartenders. Our room was very clean and comfrotable. It's a short walk... More
