hotel location was very good
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel staff are very friendly but I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the room I slept in. Was disappointed as it looked very shabby and cheap which I didn’t expect. I have been in better hotels before with the same status. My room was not once cleaned whilst I was there which was odd. We had dirty towel when we first came into the room which didn’t set the scene of cleanliness. No top up of tea or coffee which is the norm in hotel rooms. Breakfast was lovely and was plenty of it. All in all, its was ok.

The best thing about this hotel was the staff. I have never met staff as helpful or accommodating. I do not have enough good things to say about them.

There is some renovation work taking place on the ground floor, but this didn't detract from my stay and I couldn't hear any noise. Room was very comfortable and well equipped.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The family room was clean and well-equipped. The hotel itself was undergoing some construction which didn't have any detrimental impact on our stay, though. A breakfast slot needs to be booked via the hotel's website but they are quite lenient if you're showing up a bit later. The breakfast was really good and the staff was very quick at restocking. The hotel itself is located within walking distance of the town centre and very close to the Ullevi.

Väldigt långsam incheckning. Smaklös frukost. Generellt ett nedgånget hotell som har sett sina bösta dagar. Dags att renovera och uppgradera. Glöm inte att lägga lite kärlek på äggröran och den stekta baconet...

Hade turen att få ett rum med utsikt över Ullevi och Göteborgs stad som bjöd på ett fantastiskt skådespel. Närhet till restauranger och Svenska mässan är ett stort plus.
