Aiden by Best Western Herning

Positive. Staff seemed nice. Bed was comfortable. Better than sleeping in the car. Negative. Think motel. Middle of nowhere. No bar, just a sliding door fridge from which you chose your beer of no choice. A kind of “loaves and fishes” approach to the available sandwiches; there were three of them and thirty of us. No human to pay, you use a McDonalds style screen. Evening meal burgers were warm on the outside and stone cold on the inside. Lukewarm pizza and congealed chips. Loose grate at entrance to Reception was a trip hazard (which at least provided some amusement) as was the entrance to the bathroom in each room. As was the pointless and depressed robot that wandered aimlessly around Reception. Some rooms were too hot, some were too cold. Heating controls seemed to be ornamental. If you wanted to have a hot shower in the morning, you had better be first in the morning; gulag temperatures after that. Good access by car except that the good access road was closed.

You get what you pay for. You do not see any people working in the hotel.

---Aiden by Best Western Herning--- It's great that in the long run you have to do most of the work yourself, but that's where the positive things I have to say about Aiden in Gødstrup on the edge of Herning stop. When I had solved the mystery of how to do your check-in, I came to a room where there were hair remnants in the toilet from a previous guest and in several places in the corners you could spot that a little cleaning was lacking, fair enough if only that only. The breakfast (it was a guessing game to find out when it was served as I couldn't find any information about it anywhere) was nothing to shout about, it was rather genderless and the staff were extremely slow to refill, in addition milk and yogurt were poured into neutral containers to hide their origin. They also committed a minor offense by labeling oat drink as "oat milk" (which is prohibited according to EU legislation), the employees looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned it to them. On the second day the fire alarm went off, unfortunately there were no evacuation plans in the rooms (actually never found any in the hotel), also the employees did not inform that it was a false alarm (and it is really cold to stand outside for 20 minutes in a t-shirt at . 6.10 in the morning). When it dawned on us that it had blown off, we wanted to have some breakfast, but unfortunately the alarm sounded again here, which again gave 10 minutes in the cold outside. This resulted in my colleague and I choosing to pack our things and leave Aiden within a very short time as we no longer dared to stay at this hotel. It is always a pleasure to stay in a hotel where the hot water is only enough for the first 5 guests, and the rest have to enjoy themselves under the cold shower. In addition, I must praise a large part of the staff for their lack of communication skills in Danish, and also in English. Stay from 3-5. October Date of experience: 05 October 2023

Prisbilligt no nonsense chatGPT-ish hotel ved Gødstrup Hospital. Man skal helst kunne klare sig selv her, da staff er reduceret til at være nærmest usynligt. På nær hende ´HEEEIJJ’-fullsize skærm-AI-robotten ved indgangen, som man hurtigt får lyst til at omkode, for selv om man forsøger snige sig ind langs kanten nede ved gulvet, opdager hun én alligevel. HEEIIJJJ!! Hver gang! Anyhow….hotellet er nyt, frisk og roligt. Rengøring kun hver tredje dag, men det er fint nok. Dejlig morgenmad - fremstillet af et ægte menneske af kød og blod bag forhænget ved bufféen. Man får et chok når det pludselig dukker frem bag scenetæppet med mere bacon. Helt uden ‘HEEIIIJJ’….. Virker ventilationen og gulvvarmeknappen på værelserne? Lidt underlige indstillinger, som får én til at tro om det er de samme håndværkere, der byggede skandalehospitalet ved siden af….så hvorfor må man ikke åbne vinduerne helt på værelserne, nu hvor ventilationen ikke synes at virke? Men fint med bordventilatoren, der er sat ind. Alt i alt et billigt, ærligt, nytænkende og friskt hotel! 👍

New hotel and very clean and fresh. Breakfast nothing fancy at all and if you have allergies not much to eat. Dinner - find a different place to eat at. They offer a simple meal but at a reasonable rate.

It isn't an outright cheap hotel, but it's not expensive either. The breakfast is included, and exactly what you would expect. It was fine, but nothing special. The room wasn't big, but it was enough for us, and the bed was great. On top of that it was perfectly clean, kind of stylish, and the staff was excellent. On arrival we rang the bell in the reception to ask a few questions and since it was after midnight there weren't anybody there. Straight away comes this big viking-looking man, and he was both very helpful and funny. Really cheered us up after a long drive. We'll definitely come back, next time we're visiting family.

Firstly this hotel has good potential, but not quite there right now. I stayed in June 2023 and it appears to be just recently opened. The room was new and modern, but cleanliness wasn't as good as I'd expect. No working air conditioning left me sleeping uncomfortably, with a slight clicking noise in the room making things worse. The hotel has a bar but doesn't serve alcohol, the closest bars being 3 miles away in the town center. Although the hotel has clearly made effort to add facilities like a shuffleboard, communal PS5 and a gym, the essentials have been missed such as those mentioned above. Would not stay here again.

New Hotel which is currently not 100% ready and outside the city. Great: Free parking New and clean rooms Dinner for 95 DKK which was nice to have Bad: Evening staff not motivated Poor breakfast without fruits and other nice things

Watch out when you make a payment. After digital check in and successful payment it was told by the reception that the payment for the room was still open, most likely due to a rejection of the first payment. After checking my credit card balance I noticed that the room was charged twice. Contacting the reception they apologized and assured that I could expect a refund within a few days. But unfortunately, after 2 more calls and 2 emails, no refund received. A colleague that checked in at the same time even was charged 3 times.
