Not at all good value for money.

This is a simple set-up but that is also what I have opted in for. One thing that do annoyes me quite a bit is the cost of using the pool, 70 DKK and then informed that the main pool is revered for training sessions. This left me with the wellness area that was totally overcrowded. Absolutely not worth the money. Nice breakfast.

The price per night is too high for not including free access either to the bowling or swimming pool, as the room has nothing special and is not comfortable. The only reason I book this hotel as the name is sport hotel was to have included access to the sport facilities as part of the night stay, bit it wasn’t the case

We hebben vier nachten geboekt. Een prima uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen. Van alle beschikbare (sport-) faciliteiten hebben we weinig gebruik kunnen maken maar het aanbod was zeer uitnodigend en uitgebreid (zwembad, bowlingbaan, sportvelden etc.). Het ontbijt was super verzorgd! Uitstekende service en (gratis) parkeergelegenheid. Op de kamer was het wel snel warm (gelukkig kunnen de ramen open). Prijs-kwaliteit is zeer goed.

Helt OK.

Alt i alt en god oplevelse, men ikke uden minusser. Værelset var enormt varmt og lummert (der er ikke A/C, hvilket normalt heller ikke er nødvendigt i Danmark) og morgenmaden var middelmådig. Til gengæld var sengene rigtigt gode, og Sportium har nogle fantastiske faciliteter. Vi og vores unger havde stor fornøjelse af de moderne svømme/bade faciliteter.

Overordnet var det fint nok. Men det var meget larm om aftenen og natten. Dørene smækkede meget hårdt i, så det rungede i hele vores værelse. Ingen udluftning på badeværelset, håndklæder brugt om morgenen var ikke tørt om aftenen. Dårligt indeklima på grund af dette. Virkelig dårlig morgenmad - ihvertfald under standart for en hotel morgenmad.

Fantastisk

Sødeste personale i cafe/reception/sportel. Dejligt sted med familien og den bedste svømmehal vi har været i, hvor de går meget op i renlighed og orden som kommer os alle sammen til gode. Tak til det søde personale for at være meget børnevenlige - vi kommer helt sikkert igen næste gang vi tager til Jylland :)

Sport -action

Alt var perfekt -dog med den undtagelse at gangen var lydt 😒 Her skal man ikke booke hvis man gerne vil have ro på sit værelse. Stedet er et sports hotel og er oplagt til sports-ophold. Desværre larmede familier med børn og Unge mennesker på træningslejr ALT FOR MEGET. Det var svært at restituere efter endt egen sport når de andre gæster syntes soveværelser og gang var den perfekte legeplads. Så man kunne måske opfordre gæsterne til at have værelses bygningen som et slappe / roligt område og hallerne (+udendørs arealer) som crazy /brænde krudt af områder 😅

Både og…

Værelserne var rigtigt fine. Hotellet er et “sportel” og det var nok meningen at vi skulle have muligheden for at spille det ene og det andet, og være rigtige aktive. Meeen når faciliteterne også er åben for offentligheden, er der pludseligt igen plads til gæsterne på hotellet, fordi deverse klubber i byen overtager alle baner. Ud over det var udvalget til morgenmaden fin, men alt mad var koldt - også det det skulle have været varmt Man skal samt også være opmærksom på dagene man tjekker ind, for vi tjekkede ind om mandagen og glæder os til svømmehallen. Det viser sig så at svømmehallen kun har åben om eftermiddagen nogle af dagene og havde generelt specielle åbningstider. samt koster alle aktiviterne ekstra. Så man betaler kun for værelset og morgenmad
