It has been a nice stay for 5 days.
Very nice staff, very friendly and ready to help.
Only thing there is no cleaner unless you read a very small sign and request it for the next day

We went on a vacation from the US to visit our family in Aalborg. The location was great and close to everything downtown Aalborg. The hotel staff were friendly, and accommodation were very clean. Drinks in the hotel bar were fantastic although not always open and especially not late.
Hotel was quick to give us extra pillows, towels, and even microwave food or hold things in a guest fridge as they do not provide those in the rooms.
Bathrooms were smaller than we thought they would be, but made it work!
It was amazing to be able to rent some bikes from the hotel to ride around!

Larm
Fik værelse ud til gaden, hvor der var ørepropper lagt frem.
Dette ikke uden grund. Der var meget larm fra gaden - ikke optimalt !!!
