Ferdinand Hotel – Bar – Restaurant

Hotel located downtown Aarhus just upstairs from many restaurants that turn into bars and clubs at night so a bit noisy if you are not planning to go out yourself. The room had floor to ceiling windows facing south but no air conditioning so very hot. The electric fans available in the room just moved the air around and didn’t provide any cooling. Some might want to open the windows during the night but the noise from downstairs bars and clubs didn’t make this and ideal option. Most importantly - book without breakfast. Save the money and go out to a restaurant or bakery for breakfast which is so much better than the food available at the hotel. Not worth eating.

Very nice boutique hotel with nicely furnished suites, centrally located right by the Aarhus river and close to the harbor. The rooms are large "apartments" with living room, bedroom, bathroom and hallway. The staff is very friendly and service minded.

I went here on a business trip, and decided to check this hotel out as we considered staying here for a weekend later. The very quick response is “nope”. I had a “studio suite” which first of isn’t in the main building, rather in the building behind. Secondly that building is all “student housing”, except roughly five units that the hotel owns, which makes it evident this was built as student accommodation too. That also mean you have a poorly designed bedroom/kitchen/“living room” in one, where the noise of the fridge 5 feet from you, will keep you awake. It doesn’t help that the bed feels unbelievably cheap, and again student’y, with really bad sleep comfort. The only reason for two stars, and not one, is the staff which are nice and the location. But overall - H*** no!

Hotel Ferdinand is the place where I will stay the next time in Aarhus, and the next and… .. Lovely suite with a large living room with sofa and dining table, large bedroom with a comfortable bed and spacy bathroom. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. A delicious breakfast buffet where quality is cherished. Not lavish, but with everything needed.
