Large, comfortable rooms and excellent service at this lovely design hotel close to shopping and restaurants. We stayed during the weekend and did experience some noise during nighttime due to hefty nightlife nearby. We will definitely return to lovely Gothenburg and super Avalon Hotel.

You will not go wrong with this hotel, it is plonked right in the centre of Gothenburg leaving everything within walking distance in the City Centre. Travelled in April therefore the pool was still closed, however, the cafe bar part of the hotel was vibrant and a nice area to sit and people watch! The hotel itself had good facilities... More

One of the coolest design-hotels I have ever stayed in. Some minor maintenance things to look at in the room (a crack in the mirror and a screw missing in the bathroom door lock) but nothing big enough to ruin the great overall feeling. Super sweet and professional receptionists and masterful bartenders, combined with the great location, made this a... More

In the heart of Gothenburg this medium-sized deign hotel is situated. The hotel is equipped with excellent hotel bar & restuarant, Sky pool, friendly personnel and nice rooms Feng Shui-style. We do recommend a visit at Avalon Hotel!

The location of this hotel is great and the staff is wonderful. My problem with this hotel is that everything has been designed to be as non-functional and as impractical as possible. While one can argue about aesthetics (e.g., I found the picture of naked women in the hallways kitschy, but others might find them amusing), the hotel is just... More

What can I possibly say, having been upgraded to the Penthouse Suite, with a private jacuzzi, swimming pool, etc. Just amazing - totally unexpected and a real bonus looking out at the twinkling lights of Gothenburg. Furthermore, the hotel is ideally placed for central shopping and business, and service was very friendly. I can't wait to come back - even... More

I have stayed at 3 other hotels within Gothenburg with a 4/5 Star Hotel rating, but the Hotel Avalon just beats them hands down. Location, central to Gothenburg, not noisy, vibrant.

I've stayed at this hotel several times now, and I always come back. It is not only because it is centrally located and I always get excellent service.

Thanks for your feedback, and that you appreciate our beds, although the overall experience is important for our hotel, it is of course a must that our guests sleep well with us. Waking up refreshed and then take part of our breakfast buffet is a good start, welcome to more days at First Hotel Avalon! More

This small boutique hotel is crammed full of Scandinavian designer touches and charm. The rooms are of a reasonable size and fully equipped. The room we stayed had a balcony overlooking the Saluhallen, resplendent with a huge horse light/installation, great place to have breakfast or sip tea when the weather is nice.

The hotel is unnecessary marketing the superior room with the prospect of getting something extra as a balcony or a circular bed. When the room is in fact a standard room without these perks, with a view of a backstreet, you are bound to be a bit disappointed even if you didn´t really needed a balcony in January or knew...
