Kompas Hotel Aalborg

One of those delightfully basic hotels that is more than the sum of its parts. May not be the George Cinq but from the moment you walk up to reception to the moment you leave you experience all those things that makes Denmark such a pleasant place to visit. The receptionist greeted me as if I was a regular and without a hint of stiff formality or ennui that I’ve experienced in “posher” hotels. Booked a double room which proved more than adequate with plenty of space, a comfy bed, a big screen television that actually worked (!), a kettle for much needed coffees and a excellent hot shower, very useful after a days exploring! Was going to grumble about the air conditioning not working but realised this was due to it being quiet rather than non functioning, a welcome change! Breakfast is wonderful too, a decent spread without going OTT and always replenished by the efficient staff; cold meats, cheeses, cereals, breads, Danish pastries obviously and some great carrot & ginger shots to give you that early morning kick start.

Air conditioning took a while to get ones head around

Perfect hotel in a perfect location.

Nothing to not like.

Great breakfast with carrot ginger shots. Overall great value for money. I was on a short business trip. First time I stayed here. The next time I will use this hotel again.
