Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
These fresh, good-value rooms at the marina are straight off the Ikea production line. All
booking is done online (hence no phone number), and check-in is via a computer. The
hotel is 1.5km south of the centre (off Strandvejen; catch bus 19) and walking distance to
Marselisborg; at your doorstep is a handful of restaurants (and free parking).
Tip: choose a room on the 1st floor (1.sal), as ground-floor rooms lack privacy. The
price drops for second and subsequent nights.

'Best location, best price' is the CabInn chain's motto, and given that this branch doubled
in size in 2014, it's clearly doing something right. The functional rooms are based on
ships' cabins (hence the name) - the cheapest is
tiny,
but all come with bathroom, kettle
and TV. The location is indeed top-notch. Breakfast costs Dkr70.
DCU-Camping Blommehaven
CAMPGROUND
48-70; late Mar-late Oct; )
This big beachside campground 6km south of the city centre lies in the scenic Marselis-
borg woods en route to Moesgård. It's got loads of family-oriented facilities, plus simple
four-berth huts (Dkr635). If you're driving, follow Strandvejen south; otherwise, take bus
18 or (in summer) 31.
Hotel Guldsmeden
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
with bathroom from Dkr995/1395; )
A top pick for its excellent location, warm staff, French Colonial-style rooms with Persian
rugs, pretty garden oasis and relaxed, stylish ambience. Bumper breakfasts (mainly organ-
ic) are included, as is Guldsmeden's own organic toiletries range.
Guldsmed
means both
goldsmith and dragonfly in Danish - look for sweet use of the dragonfly motif in the de-
cor.
