Spentrup Vacations from $2,327

Great self service hotel! Provided lovely breakfast. Good value for Aarhus, it is out of the centre which likely contributes to the lower price. But we didn’t mind this! It’s a quiet peaceful area out of the hustle and bustle, then about 20-30 mins into the centre via bus. An unconventional way to do it, but it works!

Although the reception desk was not staffed when we arrived the phone number for the staff member was quickly answered and a very helpful young lady completed the check-in process swiftly and politely. The room was easy to find and the secure key card system worked well. The room itself was spotless and the bed was very comfortable providing a good nights sleep after our long journey. The en-suite shower room was ideal for freshening up with plenty of clean bright white towels provided. As the room was paid for when we arrived, checking out only required the key cards to be dropped into the collection point at the reception desk once we finished our stay. The motel is easy to find from the E45 motorway and is close to the outskirts of Randers, which has a number of interesting places to visit. There is plenty of parking alongside the motel and the local area is very quiet overnight.

I did not realise the hotel did not have a 24/7 reception until the day of travel when I was sent a code for check-in. Once I got to the hotel the code was needed to enter the lobby, except the code I'd been sent did not work. So I was stuck outside for about 15 minutes at 1am, while I tried to get someone to answer the phone (and when I finally did the man was very grumpy). Probably would not pick this hotel again if I knew I'd be arriving late. Other than that the room was a nice size and clean, although a bit cold (even with the heaters on).

Breakfast delicious in a lovely atrium

The food in the restaurant was EXCELLENT. I had two evening meals during my stay and was not disappointed.
