Myself and fiancé have recently stayed at this hotel for our little city break to Gothenburg. The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect, literally no more than about 15-20 minute walk to wherever you want to be! The Center of the city is closer again, being only about 5-10. I don’t think I have ever stayed at a hotel in a better location. The staff were all very friendly and were happy to answer any questions/quires. The hotel has a very quirky and laid back feel which is perfect. The room itself was perfectly adequate, a little quiet on the small side but had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It doesn’t have tea/coffee making facilities in the room, but there is a machine in reception and you can take drinks up…. (an excuse not to be lazy I guess) …… The only two negative points I have to mention are that the curtains in the room (602) did not close fully, there was a gap in the middle and this let light through early in the morning. Thankfully I come up with a genius idea of hanging my scarf in the middle! The other was we had a brief foul smell coming from the drain in the shower….. Rather than do the typical Brit thing of complaining immediately I gave it the benefit of the doubt and after blasting the shower hose and a bit of soap down it, the smell disappeared…… Breakfast was good, a little on the basic side but gave you a nice full tummy and there is a little bit of noise if you’re in a front facing room… (to be expected from a city centre hotel)
Overall this is a lovely little hidden gem in the heart of Gothenburg and will definitely be returning when I am back in the city.

A quiet, comfortable and friendly family-run hotel in a great location. The staff are all excellent and helpful, the rooms are comfortable, large and clean and the self-service breakfast offers a great selection from fruit, cereal, pancakes, bacon and eggs, etc.
The WiFi is fast and free and there is complementary tea and coffee available in reception.
We have been back to the hotel four times in the last 12 months and have never once been disappointed.
The hotel is a two-minute walk from one of the main shopping streets and a minute walk to Vasaplatsen tram and bus stop, which serves many of the tram and bus routes. It only takes about 15 minutes to get to the Central Station. From the airport, you can take the Flygbuss to Kungsportsplatsen and either take a tram or bus to Vasaplatsen or walk for approximately ten minutes.

This is a nice family run boutique hotel. Stayed in a larger room on the first floor. Some minor negatives; found the mattress too soft for my taste. The room didn't have tea/coffee making facilities, a safe or iron. Storage for clothes was limited to a narrow alcove in the wall with a handful of hangers. The positives outweigh the negatives though. The room was spotlessly clean. Nice, clean, modern bathroom with large shower and underfloor heating. There was a large (for a hotel room) fridge in the room to store your own drinks etc. All the staff we encountered from the front desk to the breakfast room staff and the cleaners were friendly, professional and helpful. Good selection at breakfast and everything was fresh and nicely presented. Hotel is in a good location on a quiet street near restaurants, shops and trams.

City-style hotel with brand new, well-decorated and spacious rooms, television with access to Netflix, Spotify, etc. Excellent bathroom, nice shower and super clean. Very good service, super friendly. Tea, coffee and biscuits available all day, as well as a free umbrella to use in the city. Well located, with restaurants around and super close to the main Avenyn street. The only criticism is accessibility, when entering the hotel there are stairs and no elevator for wheelchair users. As for breakfast, in a very cozy place overlooking the street and delicious, with fresh breads and several options of everything (fruit, yogurt, juices, biscuits...) good for people with restrictions and the friendly staff are always friendly. cleaning tables and replacing food.

4 nights stay during easter holiday 2022 and we could not have been more satisfied. Pleasant stay, service tip top and surprisingly good breakfast option.
The hotel lies in the center of Göteborg, Vasastaden and it is reachable to everywhere. Public transport is accesable within minutes of walk.
Room was great, unfortunately we could not control the room temperature. Sometimes it wiil get cold but it was manageable.
We will be coming again.

As previous reviewers have commented, this is a lovely quiet hotel within easy walking distance of the main areas of Gothenburg. Public transport is excellent but does require the downloading of a ticket app for trams and trains. Staff had fluent english and were happy to assist with maps, travel locations etc. Other than breakfast, which was substantial, no other meals on offer but with so many good restaurants within a couple of minutes this wasn't a problem. 24hr access to tea, coffee or other drinks. The bed was very comfortable and as mentioned, the soundproofing excellent. All in all, a real treat for a 3 star hotel.

Perfect location if you want central but still quiet nights. Trams right nearby, and pubs and restaurants on the block. Good breakfast as always in Sweden. Room was rather small, beds a bit to soft for us. And we came on a heatwave and the room was very hot. Windows fully open all night and the fan in the window made it bearable... Staff was very nice and you could feel that its a family business. So a good stay with some issues!

Excellent location. A really lovely hotel, very friendly staff, good selection for breakfast and rooms were a good size. We were lucky enough to have a little balcony which was lovely. The rooms did get very warm and it was hard to control the temperature, although there was a small air conditioner provided. We would definitely stay here again.

A cozy hotel located near Avenyn in Gothenburg. Very nice and friendly staff. We stayed on the third floor, there is an elevator if you wish. The room we booked was quite small, but nothing bothers me to be there one night. If you want to stay there longer, I think you should wish to have larger rooms. There was also a balcony, which can probably be opened in the summer and used. I would have appreciated that in the summer! Breakfast was good and there was enough to choose from.

Very well located to explore the city and close to restaurants, bars, etc. Nice and cozy building, very nice staff, room as advertised, good breakfast. To say something, maybe it would be nice to have a kettle in the room, but there is free coffee and tea at reception 24/7

The entrance to reception is via a small staircase. I don't recall there being any rooms on the floor that reception is on. Also, as the other reviewer states, the breakfast room is in the basement and I have a feeling that the lift doesn't go down to the basement area. It's a really nice hotel and well situated so it might be best to call the hotel and double check
