We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Although it’s a place chosen by families with young children, our room remained remarkably quiet throughout the entire visit. We slept well, relaxed easily, and felt genuinely comfortable. The room and bathroom were newly renovated, modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. One of the absolute highlights was the breakfast buffet, truly outstanding in both variety and quality.

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.

Stayed here as was attending the EAiE conference . Checked in late and next day. No house keeping was done on my room. When I asked why I was told I had to ask for it the day before . I then asked for it and room was cleaned but no towels provided .Again I asked for these but never provided. Quite disappointed for the rate paid . Good location though

Would not recommend

The only positive aspect of my stay was the view. Unfortunately, everything else fell far below expectations. There was no room service, no fridge, and not even a phone in the room to contact the front desk, which was very disappointing. My shower had mold, and both bedside tables were worn out and in poor condition.

Another frustration was the bed setup—Scandic doesn’t seem to offer queen or king options. Even in my “premium” room, I had two double beds pushed together, which is impractical unless you’re traveling with someone else. On top of that, the sofa bed in my room was broken.

With so many better hotel options in the surrounding area, I cannot recommend this property.

It was good.

The hotel looked better than expected.

Check in was fast and problem free.

The room was adequate and the bathroom fitted our needs. The shower was very good.

We had breakfast for 3 days for which we coukd specify our arrival time. However, no one was ever there checking if we had arrived at our stated timeslot.

After the first night, the middle lift broke down. For the rest of the weekend we had wait to grt up or down. I think the problem was made worse as there were lots of groups of women in pink, all going up or down at the same time. We ended up using the stairs as we arent the type to push our way in even though we had waited longer than some who didnt understand the queue concept.

The staff were all nice and the breakfast team seemed very hard working.

The location is very good. Really close the tram line, supermarkets and late night food. 10 minites to the train station and probably the same to Haga etc....

I would recommend if wanting something value for money.

Excellent and tasty spread for breakfast, which caters for everyone.

Our room superior twin with the full length windows had a incredible view over the city. If you suffer from vertigo though, you may feel a bit uneasy, but you will be fine as long as you don't go right up to the windows and for me worth It for that view. The room was actually a really good sizewith a large bathroom and easily accommodates 4 using the fold out double couch.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lots of restaurants nearby and all well priced if I consider against UK prices.

Hotel is near 2 tram stops which means you can get everywhere easily and tbh if you prefer walking, is also within walking distance of most places and attractions.

Have to add if you are visit for the Gothia cup the location. Is central with no venue more than 30 min away and a wlaj away from stadiums and main area

Also getting to and from the airport I would recommend.bookng a taxi or getting a ln Uber if you are 3 or more persons.

Overall really enjoyed out trip and stay at this hotel and would recommend this hotel.

Review of Scandic Opalen

Typical Nordic style. Simple but with all the essentials you need for a comfortable stay. Clean. Fast and reliable WIFI. Delicious breakfast with many choices. Convenient location, Tram stop is about 50 m away. Coop supermarket just next to the hotel. There are many restaurants in the neighbourhood too. If you are taking the airport bus in, drop off at Berzeliigatan rather than Korsvagen. Saves you walking100 m and the pavement is easier to drag the luggage along.

Trots att vi bokade en tid där det skulle vara minst antal gäster så var det kö till allt och en ljudnivå som inte var trevlig. Jag hade inte brytt mig nämnvärt om det inte var så att jag fick betala ganska rejält extra för att få frukost.

Dåligt med pålägg, frukt smaklöst ost( ingen mögelost), äcklig äggröra. Jämfört med Scandic Segevång i Malmö hamnar den frukosten på minus poängen. Skulle aldrig betalat för den frukosten om jag hade vetat hur den blir.

Aamiaisella olisi voinnut olla enemmän hedelmiä, puuroa muutakin kun yön yli puuro, ja suomalaisena jäin kaipaamaan ruisleipää. Huone pääasiassa siisti, vessaan saattoi kertyä pölyä viikon aikana myös meistä, mutta pieni pölyisyys ei hirveästi haitannut. Henkilökunta todella palvelualtista ja mukavaa. Yleisten tilojen kokolattiamatot olisivat voinneet olla siistimmät, mutta ottaen huomioon hotellin remontin, niin kyllä oli siistiä. Huone vaikutti kuvissa isommalta ja lievästi harmitti saunan remppa, sekä se ettei mielestäni mistään käynnyt ilmi, mitä missäkin on. Esim. leikkihuone tuli vahingossa vastaan ja ikinä ei selvinnyt missä kerroksessa sauna, kuntosali jne. on.

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.
