Clean room, good size for single room very spacious and lot of light via wall to ceiling glass wall. The area is very close to transportation and friendly staff with complementary coffee and tea.
The property is a bit out of the centre but easily reachable by bus, car, or bicycle. The breakfast buffet was reasonable and started at a good time. The use of the dining area for personal meals was very welcome. Rooms are basic but very functional and clean.
DBU works well for us. It is kind of a "no frills" place to stay but it works really well with parking, sleeping, free coffee/tea/water, a fridge to store cold things and a lounge where you are able to sit and relax and watch TV. You can choose to have breakfast or not. Easy to get to and plenty of possibility for shopping near by. And it is a very quiet place.
Worst hotel stay in recent memory.
Room was unclean, bathroom sink was clogged, there was a large black spider in the bathroom, the mattress did not look clean. There is no one at the reception and no number to call to change the room.
Great self service hotel! Provided lovely breakfast. Good value for Aarhus, it is out of the centre which likely contributes to the lower price. But we didn’t mind this! It’s a quiet peaceful area out of the hustle and bustle, then about 20-30 mins into the centre via bus. An unconventional way to do it, but it works!

Disliked: Room comfort
Rented out Dormitory. Not really a hotel.
Although they have "in-suite" rooms, they are still quite simple and the beds are not next to each other, but end-to-end. Costs in Denmark are high so if you need to control prices this will work, but don't expect a high-end hotel. It is more like a dormitory.
First of all, the mattresses all had some kind of yellow and red stain all over them. The room was full of spiders and mosquitoes. The window kept open and did not have a lock (we were on the lower level room. In the morning there were people running by our door on the outside and screaming (there is a school and football field nextdoor. The breakfast was just bread, and juices (very very very basic). The best part was probably the parking lot which was gated and secure with a code. I've expressed my concerns from day one and was told that the stains don't count if they are under the sheets (first time in history that I've heard this from any management). Very very disappointed.

Værelset var sparsomt udstyret men rent og pænt. Dejligt at bad og toilet er adskilt :-)
Værelse i kælderniveau. Der lugtede af kloak, men personalet var forstående og gav mig nyt værelse.
Dette var også i kælderniveau, men det lugtede ikke.
Dog var værelserne kolde og ikke særlig indbydende.

Rent værelse, rene lagner, lidt pletter på madrassen, men det er nok forventeligt.
Meget varmt værelse og vasken på toilettet var stoppet.
Jeg fik ikke morgenmad, men der var gratis te og kaffe i fælles køkken, og både fælles strygebrædt, strygejern og hårtørrer
