“The hotel has Ben brought back to its original glory”

I'm not a fan of the wall decorations in the staircase and the hallways but I appreciate it is part of the hotels history.

“What a classic elegant boutique hotel!”

We were very impressed with the Royal Hotel in Aarhus. First, the location just can’t be beat – it sits just off to the side of the Aarhus Cathedral, which is considered the very center of town.

We were very impressed with the Royal Hotel in Aarhus. First, the location just can’t be beat – it sits just off to the side of the Aarhus Cathedral, which is considered the very center of town. It’s a relatively small hotel but with a great-looking architected building. The entrance façade is also impressive, with three tall statues supporting the glass cantilever cover. It is a very small lobby, with the reception desk off to the side. But what impressive Victorian-style furnishings everywhere – murals, an old-style central elevator (aside from a more normal elevator to the side) with gold trimmings everywhere, including a sign “ELEVATOR’. Beside it is the staircase, another opulent architecture element. The room key is a heavy brass key, not your usual magnetic key card. The staircases are very beautifully done. We had a suite, so the large heavy front door led into the foyer-living room, with a sofa, an elegant dining table with similarly-elegant chairs, a ref cabinet with wine glasses and electric kettle (but no nespresso machine), a seat that transformed into a bed, and two very modern Danish coffee tables that seemed a little out of place. There was also a large TV that was uniquely resting on a type of artist’s easel. We were frustrated by a floor lamp with two lights that we couldn’t get to work. Two doors opened into the bedroom area with beautiful night tables that had built in electric outlets on the side, plus lamps and reading lights. There was also a footstool that was the length of the bed. Then a heavy door led to the T&B. What impressed us was the gold trim on most of the things in the T&B. Two negatives – there was no house phone to call housekeeping or reception, and there was no AC. Good thing Aarhus’ July summer was cold enough. Breakfast was in the oh-so-elegant Queen’s Garden, a giant gazebo-like structure in the hotel courtyard. The atmosphere was fantastic. They had custom egg orders and they had all the buffet items – not too much variety though - written up in a custom menu. The wait staff was very attentive. Some of the food were served in tiny but cute shot glasses with glass covers. The reception staff were very friendly and still very professional. I broke a wine glass but when I offered to pay for it, they said it was no problem – it happens. I was so impressed.

“A nice hotel but a very hot room!”

The hotel is very nice and centrally located. Staff are very friendly and helpful. However, the room was very hot and had no air conditioning (only fan). The room was also not well-lit. There are many small lamps that you can turn on, but no central light. TV only work as a smart TV with only YouTu… more

The hotel is very nice and centrally located. Staff are very friendly and helpful. However, the room was very hot and had no air conditioning (only fan). The room was also not well-lit. There are many small lamps that you can turn on, but no central light. TV only work as a smart TV with only YouTube and pay per view available. No local channels. Decorations are nice and it's easy ta walk to the city attractions.
