"Lots of children but great location for public transport straight into city centre. Exceptional breakfast and the cafe has a fantastic selection of cakes."
"Good hotel in a great location with really friendly staff. Rooms are a good size, with everything you need, not the most modern but certainly very well maintained. Breakfast can get really busy at peak times (7.30 - 8.15) but food choice and quality is excellent. Reception and Bar / Waiting staff are all helpful and friendly."
"The hotel was a memorable experience. Great location and good transport links. The haga district of bars and restaurants was around the corner. Breakfast was great quality and a good reflection of Swedish food standard. Loved the down duvet and pillows so much I've tried to order Swedish pillows on my return to the UK. I have an amazing tempura bed at home and cuddledown down duvets and would say that my rest/sleep was the best so far, for a trip away from my own bed."
"Highly recommended! The room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious with a great variety of choices. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!"
"Room is clean, very helpful staff, convenient location, close to public transport."
"Clean room, friendly staff, nice breakfast. Lovely view of the harbour from the bedroom window. Very good value. Tram stop is located just outside the hotel, bus and train station a short distance away via tram or walking. Did not have long in Gothenburg but would definitely come back and stay for longer."
"Great place"
"One of the best stays in my European backpack trip. I appreciate the hospitality and accomodating the staffs are. The hotel looks very iconic sith the decorations including the room.
