Location was very good. Close to tram, 20 minute walk to central station, access to bikes. Several restaurant options around and good breakfast buffet to start your day. Rooms were quite small and hot but it was some of the hottest weather during that time. Easy to get fresh towels without issue but had to request housekeeping. Hot tub and sauna area very well kept.

Nice hotel in good location

Hotel is conveniently located near Liseberg and the bus stop for airport. 5 minute walk into the city centre. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Reception staff very helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness

Would avoid in future

Not sure how it is a 4 star hotel: The room is so small one can barely move. Shower gel was empty: had to use hand soap. Breakfast options are not suitable for people who avoid breads, except if one likes boxed liquid industrial eggs: I asked for fried eggs - staff refused. The restaurant’s food menu is poor and the the food itself is average at best. I would not stay there again.

Das Hotel ist in einer sehr guten Lage direkt am Stadion. Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer im 12 Stock. Dort eine grandiose Aussicht über Göteborg. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig. Trotz der hohen Besucherzahl wegen des Halbmarathon gab es keine Wartezeiten.

Helt ok

Oppholdet var i og for seg helt ok, men ventilasjonen var helt grusom på rommet vårt. Ikke fungerte den, selvom den stod på den laveste graden, så rommet var ganske så varmt etter en solskinnsdag. Vi bestilte renhold, men det var fryktelig sløv vask. Ellers var det god frokost og fine rom/lekerom for barn.
