Milling Hotel Ansgar

“Not for the romantic weekend, but a great budget alternative”

You get what you pay for. This is a cheap, old hotel, so I wouldn't book a romantic weekend here. It's a bit worn and quirky, but personally I choose to say: "it's got character". For a family just stopping for a night on a road trip, this was a great alternative. Big room with lots of space. Very … more

The good part is the cleaning of the room; the bathroom really shines, with great care and consideration put into it, In addition, some of the staff is really forthcoming. You may get a complimentary cup of tea, coffee or chocolate near the reception, 24x7, and the reception offers often sought after stuff such as toothbrushes, deodorants etc. reasonably priced in a self-service fashion. Breakfast is not overwhelming, but quite all right. Want the room cleaned? Place the symbolic dust tray outside the room as a signal to the cleaners; if not, the room will stay as it is, often clean enough and certainly more environmentally sustainable (and profitable for the hotel, of course). The location is very central; with the main railroad station just 5 minutes away, and the tram ("Letbane") which is a supermodern variant of the traditional electric tram, where you flick a switch on an app (DSB.DK) to pay once you enter the tram, and turn it off when exiting, not ordering anything before you need it, and a new tram coming every 7 minutes (daytime) and obviously a bit more seldom at night. Improvement points include the hotel itself; with some rooms at the top floors with plates in the ceiling with what is reminiscent of water damage; I would suggest renovation of these. See picture examples below, and judge for your self. Lightning on the rooms could be improved, as well. And perhaps adding a thermostatically controlled bathroom heating with user selectable temperature as well; sorely needed in the autumn and during the winter. Note that there is no ventilation per se in the hotel rooms, except a noisy little fan in the bathroom that starts with the light switch there, and that stays on for app. 20 mins. after you turn it off. Do not use the light if you go to the bathroom at night and dislike high pitch sounds, it will drive you crazy once you try to go to bed agains. Ventilation yes, the windows that can be opened, luckily.
