I found this hotel through trip advisor and picked it based on location and price. I wasn't disappointed! It's a 5 minute walk from central station and a few minutes from restaurants and shops. The staff were welcoming as I arrived. It reminded me more of an old English hotel rather than a Swedish one. My room was great, it's... More

There many hotels in Gothenburg, but not many good ones. Most of the cities hotels aspire to nothing and achieve it. whereas The Royal, hidden away in a back street only minutes walk from Central Station and the heart of Gothenburg provides a welcome and endeavours to deliver good service with comfort. The staff cannot be more helpful even offering... More

The Hotel Royal is right in the city centre, only 200m from the train station. The building is a beautiful 1850s building that is up to 21st century standard. Fast Wifi Internet, good desk, nicely designed rooms. Breakfast is excellent, staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a hotel to come back to.

Thşs hotel is in the heart of Gothenburg. It is very close to central station, big shopping mall and the most popular avenue of the city. Building itself is pretty old and rooms are small. Hotel was pretty clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I just had an over-night stay in this hotel, but this was already sufficient to get a good impression of its highlights. The building is old, but carefully and lovely set up. Very cosy atmosphere. I had a single room which was really small, but with everything you need for a short stay. The bathroom was tiny, but with a... More

I enjoyed and will come back -that's my entry. Positive: kindness of the staff, nice breakfast area, with warm colours. Small but comfortable lounges. Nice rooms, tough some can be small. Coffee-tea and cakes are availableall day by the reception. It's the first hotel of the city -if you look for something truly swedish, don't miss it. Negative: one wing... More

Stayed in a single room, very small but clean. Front desk staff are charming and helpful. Breakfast is good but just need some stronger coffee. Location is very central and would recommend for business.

I suppose its more than 150 years old, very well maintained, with spacious & beautiful rooms. Its in the city centre, about 10 minutes walk from the main train station and shopping area. Cherry on top : all day coffee + cake.
