Store Restrup Slotshotel Aalborg

Store Restrup Slots Hotel is a fine hotel in a historic setting. We were incredibly well received by Marikke. She showed us around the hotel and told us a little about the history of the place. The rooms are decorated in the style of the place. Our room was spacious and had an incredibly good bed with firm mattresses, which we rarely experience. I am not giving five stars because the hotel's restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday. We came by bike and did not find it tempting to cycle back to Aalborg, where we came from, for dinner. Instead, we had bought a couple of chicken salads and beers in a grocery store, which we thought we could put in the minibar we expected to find in the room. But there was neither a refrigerator nor the possibility of boiling water for a cup of coffee in the room, which is annoying when the staff is off at 4 pm. It could have ended with 3 stars for an otherwise very fine hotel, but Marikke, who is a shining star for the hotel, saved the 4th star for the hotel. She was able to quickly understand our need to have our food in a refrigerator on a hot day, and she found space in the hotel's own refrigerator. The breakfast was also good - and it was nice to have it served at the tables.

The food was good, nothing was wrong, and the staff are nice and polite. Where things go wrong is the cleaning of the rooms, dust on some surfaces, mold by the windows and stains on the wallpaper. (I didn't mention anything to the staff though, as I discovered it so late that I just had to sleep and leave in the morning)

Cozy and exciting place, interesting history, carefully restored and maintained. Was challenging for a wheelchair user, but the staff did everything in their power and then some to remove the obstacles! All employees were very welcoming and service minded! The food was both exciting and well prepared!

Really beautiful and atmospheric hotel and beautiful rooms. Friendly and accommodating welcome at the reception. Large and fine selection for the morning even though we were the only ones, and nice with fresh flowers on the tables. The room was very cold, but now it was also the red room (no. 7) where the white lady haunts....
