Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
My recommendations include the following: two tired business hotels facing
the train station with rates that flex with demand (a good value if booked in
advance and arriving on a weekend or in the summer); two charming hotels
with personality; a stripped-down, functional, Motel 6-type place; and two
backpacker/student-friendly hostels.
$$$ Villa Provence,
named for owners Steen and Annette's favorite va-
cation destination, is a
petit
taste of France in the center of Aarhus, and
makes a very cozy and convenient home base. Its 40 fun-yet-tasteful rooms,
decorated with antique furniture and old French movie posters, surround
a quiet courtyard. Prices vary depending on the size and elegance of the
room (Sb-1,095-2,300 kr, Db-1,295-2,900 kr, free Wi-Fi, parking-125 kr/day,
