Wakeup Aarhus
All good, except we arrived around 1 am travelling with a small child… had messaged the hotel beforehand letting them know. The receptionist was asleep behind the counter. We wouldn’t have been let in if it wasn’t for a group of people sitting inside. So they saved the day.

Everything was great, but the rooms-and especially the bathrooms-are outdated and need renovation. Breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were great.
