Scandic The Mayor

Stayed for 2 nights in an unforeseen (to me) combo of a heatwave and high school graduation parties. So my night-time choice was either to swelter with windows closed (effective sound insulation) or have them open and listen to the exuberant motorised celebrations passing by at regular intervals. Plus general street traffic which always catches me by surprise! (What? Buses, cars and people going past at midnight, or very early in the morning? Who'd have thought!) That said, the location was very good for me, being opposite the station. ||Room small, but perfectly fine. Breakfast pretty good, and as someone who has a gluten free diet, I appreciated that not only did they have gluten free bread & cornflakes (and a small postage stamp of a cake) but that these were wrapped and kept separate from the ordinary bread. Well done! Nice variety of breakfast items. ||Staff friendly and helpful. ||Overall, I'd be happy to stay here again if I ever return to Aarhus.

Very central and perfect location. The staff was quite friendly and the breakfast was wonderful with lots of choices. The room I booked was clean but quite worn out. There was no bedside table or full length mirror and the wooden floors were cold. Although I was happy to see an electric kettle in the room. I would have given another star if the room was more cozy despite its age. A bedside table and small rug by the bed for example. I would stay here again only if I upgraded my room or waited until the renovation is complete.

I have stayed in two different Scandic hotels in Aarhus, and I enjoyed them both. The Mayor is closer to the train station and bus shuttle and not too far from the lively shopping district that is the location of the Scandic City. Breakfasts are good with lots of choices from meat, to eggs, yogurt to chocolate. This hotel has a view of a public park which is a very nice touch.

The room was fine, the breakfast was good but beware that parking is a huge hassle. Difficult to drop off. Parking garage is 8min walk if you know what you’re doing. 15min when you don’t. All this because of all the construction the hotel going thru. Great shower. Front desk always very helpful.

Acceptable hotel for 1 or 2 nights. Small rooms. Bed and pillows would require an upgrade. Loved the breakfast. 5 min walks from station

The breakfast was overwhelmingly superb! Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and well located. I’ll be back next time I’m in Aarhus

The hotel is a construction site. And it is not only that more noice should be expected" (as stated under 'Important information'). It is about comfort and safety. The "construcion" areas are not deliniated nor secured, the equipment is laying around and workers in the middle of walking paths, leaders standing at the door and all main pathways - to the elevator and to the breakfast place. Stair case is build temporarly, but it does not give a safe feeling, and i doubt it would work in case of, for example, fire alarm/ evacuation. In addition, in the standard of the 'single economy' room is below of any expectations, even as for 'economy' room. The biggest part of the room is the toilet, and the room is ' narrow area around the toilet'. Narrow to the point that it is difficult to move around ( room 406). Also, there is a 'step' on the way to toilet, that may be difficult for some. There is no aircondition in the room, and it is getting was very warm in the room. To make it worst, there is 'hot water pipe' (?), inside the room (408), just by the door which is (1) additional unwanted heat source and (2) not nice to be touch accidentaly ( which offten hapoens as the space is very tiny)

Scandic the Mayor is our preferred hotel when visiting Aarhus. The location is perfect. Next to the main station and just a few steps from the shopping area. ||The rooms are bright, spacious, clean and very comfortable.||Breakfast buffet is delicious, healthy and plentyful.
