What guests think

At Scandic The Mayor, travelers highlight the central location, friendly staff and a frequently praised breakfast, while noting ongoing renovations, variable room standards (new vs older, often small), noticeable street noise, and heat issues due to no air conditioning.

Cleanliness is generally fine, though several reviews mention bathrooms needing deeper cleaning or sewer smells. The dining room can feel crowded at peak times, and parking is off-site and awkward for drop-off. Expect a very convenient base with kind service, but check room type and renovation status.

Staff was very friendly. We would have liked a better view instead of looking at a construction site. Blowdryer broke down. Asked for another one but it never arrived. Asked for ice and the machine was broke. Parking was at another location and almost impossible to unload your luggage at the hotel as it was a bus zone in front of the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast it was very delicious.

Rooms were little outdated and pretty basic. Beds were not the best. Location was great and staff friendly. Parking was tricky as it is located in the nearby shopping centre and it was not possible to stop in front of the hotel (busy street).

Centrally located right by the central station. Not a very attractive reception. Everything feels very closed and cramped with no outdoor areas at all. There seems to be a great deal of renovation going on so perhaps these things will improve. The entire stay was entirely average. Quite a bare bones approach to hospitality and comfort. Thankfully I spent very little time at the hotel, so I have no complaints and no glittering reviews. The price was perhaps a bit too high for what you get.

Das Hotel befindet sich aktuell im Umbau. Also eine reine Baustelle. Laut, dreckig, keine Parkplätze, Bad keine Heizung und sehr kalt im Bad. Um 6 Uhr morgens schon die Handwerker da. Eine Info über die aktuelle Situation wäre hilfreich gewesen. Weil der Preis auch sehr hoch war für eine Übernachtung.

Flot æstetik på værelset, og generelt hotellet. God service. Dog ville jeg ønske bedre rengøring på badeværelset. Da der bl.a. var Tandpasta sprøjt osv. på væggene. Alt andet, var så fint, iforhold til rengøring.

Badeværelse og dør samt håndtag ikke gjort ordentlig rent. Der blev sendt rengøring til vores tre værelser. Badeværelse blev rent, dør og håndtag stadig ulækkert. Ombygning i gang, hvilket i sig selv var fint. Men søndag morgen kl 7:30 startede de boremaskinerne. Det er ikke ok! Restauranten lidt tæt pakket, afstand ml borde og stole så lille, at det var svært at passere andre borde, hvor folk sad og spiste. Ellers en fin restaurant og maden var god.

Terrible smell in bathroom and had to change rooms. By end of our stay there was beginning to be a smell in the second bathroom and lid of toilet had to remain closed - a problem with the sewers probably. Cleanliness was poor and there was a noise issue at night - inadequate sound proofing. Breakfast was adequate but with the other issues we were not tempted to eat in the restaurant. Location was good but would not stay here again. Advertised as a 4 star hotel but only worth 3 at the most.

Meget lille værelse. Der var ikke plads til knæene ved benyttelse af toilet. Min medrejsende med et tilsvarende enkeltværelse kunne med sin højde på 192 cm ikke ligge ordenligt udstrakt og måtte sidde sidelæns på toilettet. Værelset kostede ca. 1000’- og så lige 160,- til parkering. Morgenmad sædvanlig god Scandic standard

Central beliggenhed, venligt personale, god seng, lækker morgenbuffet. Desværre overnattede jeg der i en varm sommerweekend, så jeg måtte vælge mellem at have vinduet åbent og få meget larm fra gaden eller at lukke vinduet for larmen og så have et alt for varmt værelse. Der var ingen anden mulighed for nedkøling. Det skal siges, at jeg bor på landet og er derfor ikke vant til bylarm. Andre kan måske godt sove fra det.

Personalet var venlige. Men værelset var virkelig ikke godt. Der var en del ting der ikke spillede. Fx var der mega koldt, og radiatoren virkede ikke. Toilettet skyllede ikke ordentligt ud. Håndvasken var stoppet. Sengene var efter min personlige mening ikke særlig gode heller. Værelset havde også en del “slid”.

Fint enkelt værelse, men på 4.sal er det ikke meget vand der kommer ud af bruseren - specielt ikke varmtvand. Og der var ulideligt varmt oppe under taget og samtidig ligger hotellet ud til en meget befærdet gade, så vinduerne kunne ikke holdes åbne hvis man villle sove. Super morgenmad - fint hotel, sikkert bare på en anden etage end 4.

Verdens mindste enkeltværelse med til gengæld et strygebrædt så stort, at det ikke kan være i skabet, men stod og optog plads i værelset. Vasken i badeværelset er så lille, at en vandflaske ikke kan komme ind under hanen, og der var ikke et vandglas på værelset. Ingen kedel, tekopper eller te/kaffe. Meget gadestøj. Værelset var ikke klart ved ankomst, og personalet i receptionen fortalte ikke, at toilettet i kælderen krævede en nøgle, så det var op og ned flere gange. Morgenmadsbuffeten var ikke sædvanlig Scandic-standard - røræggene var ikke rørte, men en slimet masse fra karton, bacon var ikke sprøde skiver, men det hakkede til pizza fra supermarkedet, agurkerne slimede osv. En meget skuffende overnatning til over 1600 kr for værelset og 179 kr for morgenmad, som var 79 kr værd.

Dejligt centralt i Århus. Vi fik dog et værelse med et meget meget lille badeværelse (sådan et nørrebrobadeværelse, hvor man skal bakke ind og hvor alt er vådt når man har været i bad(vær. 242)). Skøn morgenmad, hvor de blødkogte æg faktisk er blødkogte. Venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Vi kommer igen og håber på et størrebadeværelse:-)

Jeg var overrasket over check in først var kl 16:00. Kl 14:30 kunne vi så hver betale 200 for at få nøgler (vi havde 4 værelser). Det gad vi selvfølgelig ikke give 800 for. Da vi ikke ville det så kom hun og sagde at vores værelser alligevel var klar. Dejligt men alligevel lidt pengemaskine først at bede om 800,-. Det oplever jeg ingen steder ellers.
