Lovely, clean rooms with comfortable beds. Location is amazing, it is a charming building in the heart of old town and easy walk to everything. Great breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff. Rooms facing the street can be noisy on Friday and Saturday night but ok with windows closed. I would definitely stay again.

This hotel is in a great location in the centre of the pedestrian area with lots of shops and restaurants around it. There's no traffic so no noise! It's an interesting old building with a courtyard and a downstairs bar. The breakfast was generous and the bedroom was pleasant and light, the only negative aspect was the spiral staircase and the steps up to the bar: not ideal if you have a heavy bag. Would recommend this hotel

The hotel is in a great location for walking to many sights. It has a wonderful breakfast included in the price. The room was a bit small, but it was nice and clean with a modern bathroom. There are many nice public areas for sitting both inside and out. The seagulls are a bit noisy, so bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise. Otherwise, the hotel is nice and quiet.

I couldn't make my check in because I did not receive the code in my phone or mail. If it wasn't that other people were doing their check in at the same time, went to their room, came down with the password for internet and then being able to connect to my laptop and recheck my inbox (where the code had arrived) I don't know what would have I ve done since the number provided to call was not picked up earlier. However, in Expedia clearly said there was people at the reception. Never saw a human being. Not at arrival. Not at check out. What if ones need something? If there is no hot water or electricity or something? Who you talk to? Said that, the hotel itself, the room, the beds etc were excellent.

The hotel is conveniently located right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore nearby sights and attractions. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay, which we appreciated.

However, the cleanliness and service in the room left something to be desired. Housekeeping only made the beds and did not replace our used coffee cups or restock the coffee and milk supplies. As a result, we were only able to make coffee in the room on the first of our three mornings—disappointing, especially as we were traveling with a baby and were up early each day.

We also felt somewhat misled regarding the hotel’s accessibility. We were aware that there was no elevator, but we called ahead and were assured we’d get a room on the first floor and that there would only be a “small flight of stairs” to manage with our baby stroller. In reality, we were met with a large, circular staircase that was quite challenging to navigate. This made the stay far from convenient for a family with a small child.

All in all, while the location and staff were positives, the lack of attention to room upkeep and the misleading information about accessibility made the stay less comfortable than we had hoped.

This quaint little hotel is superbly located in the heart of Gothenburg. Several restaurants, cafes, and bars are a few minutes away as is the train station and a major tram stop. The staff is superb… both efficient and friendly. Construction is going on next to the hotel which made for noisy mornings during our stay. Other than that, we enjoyed our time here. The location cannot be beaten.

Good location, clean with an average hotel breakfast. However the twin room we had was small and looked nothing like the pictures. There wasn’t much space to navigate round the bottom of the beds. There was building work going on next door which started at 7 in the morning, so check this before you travel. Asked for a different twin room but they didn’t have another one.

Located in the heart of Gothenburg, within easy walking distance from the railway station and the main tourist area.

The hotel is nicely decorated and laid out, but be aware that there is no elevator if this is an issue. The room was clean and quite spacious.

The supplied breakfast was more than adequate.

The lady on the front desk on Friday, when we arrived, was incredibly friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations etc, but over the weekend she was replaced with people who were rather disinterested in being there.

Overall we would highly recomend.

It can be a little noisy at night on a Friday and Saturday as you would expect in a city centre , but the windows are double glazed so it was not a problem. A fan was provided, which was great as it was warm during our stay. The cleanliness of the rooms could not be faulted
Breakfast was fresh and good quality.

Comfortable single bed. A couple of outlets not working, but enough working ones that this wasn't really an issue. The room was clean and tidy and well enough equipped for short to medium stays. Staff were all amenable and helpful - Camilo in particular was fantastic. A small but absolutely serviceable complementary breakfast buffet, and a selection of drinks available to purchase at reception. The central location was fantastic, and there was no traffic noise in the room. For a small hotel it covered all the basics really well and I would definitely recommend for short or solo trips.

Rummet var inte helt rent när vi kom, säkerhetsboxen funkade inte. Personalen låtsades som det var ett okänt fel men man hörde sen att det var ett fel som funnits på flera av rummen en tid. Duschen droppade lite hela tiden och duschstativet var trasigt. Parkering fanns men porten som skulle stängas kvällstid var öppen hela natten och det är väldigt trångt för en normalstor bil.

Frukosten var ok även om bacon saknades och hotellet gav en mysig känsla men bristerna gör att helhetsbetyget blir negativt

Allt var mycket till belåtenhet, enda undantaget var frukosten. Jag hade kontaktat hotellet innan och berättat att jag hade celiaki och att jag behövde ha glutenfri frukost. Jag fick ett trevligt svar där de sa att de hade glutenfri frukost och i meddelandet talade jag om att jag hade celiaki.
Vid frukosten fanns det glutenfria inplacerat mellan vanligt bröd och musli. Ibland var locket på musliburken av. Då jag pratade med personalen sa de att de inte kunde garantera glutenfritt. Min rekommendation till detta hotell och alla andra hotell. Placera glutenfria produkter skilt för sig - gärna på ett eget bord. När man har celiaki innebär en smula gluten magsmärtor och toalett vistelse i många timmar.

Även en minikyl hade varit önskvärt för att förvara lite egen dricka. Än en gång, för en varm sommar. Och priset för en natt hade varit mer värt med dessa två bekvämligheter :)
Även smart tv hade varit önskvärt.
