Why this position: The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 1,308 reviews, averaging 8.7. Leads the ranking on the weight of evidence: 1,308 reviews to #2's 601, although #2 scores higher (8.8 to 8.7).
Hotel Royal is best for culture-seeking travellers who appreciate historic heritage. It features historic 1838 Neoclassical architecture, an on-site casino, and an extensive collection of 300 artworks alongside authentic antique room furnishings. Guests generally rate the property well. However, the hotel has modest fitness centre equipment, and some guests may find navigating the narrow historic corridors a bit restrictive.
Why this position: Highest guest score of the 2 hotels we rank here — 8.8 from 601 reviews. Scores higher than #1 (8.8 to 8.7), on a smaller body of reviews (601 to 1,308).
Villa Provence is suited to travellers looking for an intimate boutique retreat near the water. Located near the Aarhus canal, this property has a French-inspired courtyard and garden, and serves a curated French-style breakfast. Guest feedback is positive. On the downside, there are limited on-site dining options, and its central position means guests might experience some street noise.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
