Aarhus
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.
