Located in the center of the city and convenient to move anywhere. Nice and friendly staffs. Clean environment. But a bit inconvenient to take a shower (I understand its function definitely saves water a lot, though).

Bang for your buck on brilliant location
The most wonderful, sweet and helpful staff.
Brilliant location. I could even buy a parking spot overnight.
I did book a double room with my own bathroom.
Considering this is a Hostel, I really got bang for my buck. Of course it simple and not any extra additionally. But you don’t expect that knowing that you payed probably a third of what a regular hotel in Århus - High season - would charge.
I’ll be back. Thanks you so much!

The Staff was friendly, Sanitary a little dirty. Floors sticky. Nothing to put your stuff into. Or even onto. Little shelves would be nice for example. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Moved to a hotel instead.

First, last and only stay.
Small, cramped and cold. Check-in became self check-in the day before because it is outside high-season.
The mattress was good but off center, so I nearly feel out of the bed twice. The toilets were nice and clean, with the exception of the ugle and damaged floor. The paper towel was also at a laughable quality.
Doing check-out in the early morning I struggled to find the box where I should return the key card to, as there where no notice.

Too hot - bad sleep
Room was awfully hot. That combined with no active cooling (which is pretty normal in Denmark) or option to open a window properly, due to a safety concern i guess, resulted in quite a bad nights sleep.
We were there on a windy spring day with lots of sun (but not directly on the window), with low outside temperatures. The location is very central and noisy in the weekends.
I can only imagine how warm the room must be on a hot summer day.
Apart from being very hot, no option to open a window wide enough to cool it down, and noisy weekends, the room was fine and clean.
Oh, the sink was nearly clugged aswell.
