Some of the most imaginative hotels (in terms of design and amenities) are being developed around the world. From underwater hotels to treetop hideaways, new properties are pushing the boundaries of what a typical hotel experience should feel like.
Not matter how much hotels innovate, there are still some "basic" requirements that all properties should meet to make their experiences both welcoming and comforting to guests. Hoteliers and hotel employees: Pay close attention to ensure your hotel can deliver on these expectations.
**1. Cleanliness: **This is an absolute must. Hotels, whether we're talking about a Red Roof Inn or a Bulgari resort, need to uphold the highest cleanliness standards, offering clean public spaces, bathrooms, bedrooms, and amenities. While it's an important initiative, recycling must not give way to a lack of hygiene.
2. Adequate safety/security: For many, a hotel functions as a home away from home. With that comes a hefty expectation for the most diligent safety and security measures. Many hotels now focus on providing personalized safety and security measures for different guest profiles such as women, children, and the elderly. Technology plays an increasingly important role in providing better safety, but some guests still place more importance on the human touch.
5. Bathroom plumbing: The reason this is highlighted as "plumbing" as opposed to just a "good shower" or "hot water" is because this concerns the entire bathroom. Hot water is of no use if it is just trickling down; lack of proper water flow from the sink and toilet is a significant burden and inconvenience to any guest. All guests should expect clear, potable water; proper and continuous hot running water in the shower; flowing water in the sink and toilet; and no leaks.
C) Consistency: No matter what the process of interaction, the hotel must be able to offer the exact same experience every single time so that the guest develops a sense of comfort and confidence with the hotel.
My final point, service, does not warrant a number because it is the most basic requirement of any hospitality establishment. A Sanskrit saying, "Atithi Devo Bhavah" (meaning "the Guest is God") is perhaps a more pronounced manta on how to treat guests. No matter what the hotel, from a luxury Four Seasons to a budget Premier Inn, all guests should expect a warm welcome, a friendly face, attentive service, heartfelt thanks and know that the hotel is their "home away from home."

You can check-in from 3 pm and check-out before 11 am. If you would like get to your room early or stay a few extra hours (until 3 pm) it is occasionally possible for a surcharge. Contact us at con...@arthurhotels.dk if you wish to arrange this or want to know more.
Unfortunately, we do not have great accessibility for wheelchair users since our hotel buildings are old and full of stairs. Of course we will do our very best to make your stay pleasant, if you choose to stay with us, but we generally refer to the newer hotels in the city that have easier access and more accessible rooms.
Most credit card issuers charge a transaction fee. The percentage currently varies between 0.80% and 6.26%. In EU countries, only credit cards issued to companies are allowed be charged a fee. We and all other merchants collect the fees for the credit card companies. When you are booking a prepaid rate at our website or a payment link, you will not be charged a credit card fee. Please contact our booking team at con...@arthurhotels.dk to learn more.
We love cats, dogs, parrots, turtles, and other pets, but for the sake of other guests who may be allergic, pets are not allowed. If you need to bring a service animal, it is possible to do so for a cleaning fee. Please contact us at con...@arthurhotels.dk to give us the needed details of your stay.
In alterations and additions, the minimum required number of accessible guest rooms required is based on the total number of guest rooms being altered or added instead of the total number of guest rooms provided in a facility. Note, that where guest rooms are altered, or added, the technical requirements stated in the 2010 ADA Standards apply only to those guest rooms being altered or added until the total number of accessible guest rooms in the entire hotel complies with the minimum number required for new construction as stated in the tables referred to above.
Accessible guest rooms must be dispersed among the various classes of guest rooms, and provide choices of types of guest rooms, number of beds, and other amenities comparable to the choices provided to other guests. Typically, each alteration of a facility is limited to a particular portion of the facility. As accessible guest rooms are added as a result of subsequent alterations, the required degree of dispersion is more likely to be achieved if all of the accessible guest rooms are not provided in the same portion of the facility.
