The property is a bit out of the centre but easily reachable by bus, car, or bicycle. The breakfast buffet was reasonable and started at a good time. The use of the dining area for personal meals was very welcome. Rooms are basic but very functional and clean.

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!

Afslappende atmosfære og fin service

Altid hyggeligt at være på DBUs Hotel og kursuscenter. Det er ikke 5-stjernet luksus men der er en dejlig afslappende atmosfære og fin service.

Ok værelser , der bærer præg af at være et sportscenter. Fine og rene. Der er dog meget lydt og klientellet der overnattede samtidig med os, var meget højlydte og respektløse både morgen og aften. Da der intet personale var, kunne man ikke rigtig gøre noget ved det.

Fint basic hotel 😊

Dejligt rent værelse, der er hvad der er brug for på værelset. Madrassen er lidt blød, men okay. Største minus var den tilkøbte morgenmad, der var mere end en time tilbage af morgenmads tiden da der ikke var flere rundstykker eller rugbrød. Efter noget tid kom der lidt ovn varmet brød og en pose rugbrød, ikke prisen værd.

Great place for sleeping

DBU works well for us. It is kind of a "no frills" place to stay but it works really well with parking, sleeping, free coffee/tea/water, a fridge to store cold things and a lounge where you are able to sit and relax and watch TV. You can choose to have breakfast or not. Easy to get to and plenty of possibility for shopping near by. And it is a very quiet place.

Morgenmad frygtelig, frygtelig, frygtelig, frygtelig. Tørt og flere dage gammelt rugbrød. Elendig kaffe. Tørt morgenbrød/boller. Slattent skinke og kedelig pølse. Alt frugt rynket og gammelt og uspiseligt.

Et meget fint overnatningssted til prisen. Fremsendelse af kode til parkering og indgangsdør skete dagen før ankomst, så der var styr på det. Nøglebrikken til værelset lå også klar, da jeg ankom. Det er et meget fint overnatningssted; værelset var egentlig ret stort - det var bestemt til to, der ikke skal ligge ved siden af hinanden - så der var fint med plads. Tv’et var meget lille, men da jeg ikke kom der for at se tv, så tæller det hverken op eller ned i bedømmelsen. Morgenbuffeten var ikke prangende, men den matchede helt bestemt prisen. Det var samlet en stor fornøjelse at bo på hotellet, og jeg kommer helt sikker tilbage, når jeg skal alene til Aarhus. Skal vi begge af sted, vil jeg dog nok overveje et værelse med senge, der ikke står i forlængelse af hinanden.

Rikke

Det var fantastisk roligt. Meget stilistisk og enkelt. Det mangler dog lidt opgradering. Badeforhæng er i stykker Ingen skraber på badeværelset Og toiletartikler - er håndsæbe og toiletpapir Så teksten til stedet er i hvert forpyntet. Men jeg er vild med stedets beliggendhed og rolige sted. To nøglebrikker vil dog være at firetrække.
