I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were immaculate every time we returned from exploring the city, and they were spacious with a huge balcony. Despite the tiny size, everything else was perfect. The best breakfast I've had in Swedish hotels was served here, creating a cozy atmosphere that made me feel at home.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, within walking distance to all the must-sees and the convention center, yet tucked away on a quiet side street. The rooms, although not extremely large, were smartly furnished and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making my stay even more enjoyable. The dining experience was pleasant but could use a bit more variety. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel's rooms felt more like a cozy guest room in someone's house, clean and with a very comfortable bed. Despite being on the small side, they were functional and spotless. The service was a mix of unbelievably helpful staff and others who lacked warmth, except for one friendly young man who welcomed us warmly and even brought a heater to our room when it felt a little chilly. The location was convenient for exploring Gothenburg without a car, situated perfectly for visiting major attractions though not right in the heart of the city. Dining in the lovely and comfortable dining room was a pleasant experience with a good choice of food in a compact space. The hotel doesn't skimp on the facilities, offering guests a comfortable stay.

The hotel has nicely decorated rooms with everything you need, though a bit on the small side. It's conveniently located close to the city center, and the service is surprisingly attentive. The location is excellent, offering a central and peaceful stay. The dining experience caters to vegan and gluten-sensitive guests but could improve in quality. Overall, a good value for money option in Gothenburg.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was superb, with most sights within walking distance, and the building itself was well maintained. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a comfortable bed, despite being at the front of the hotel where the road was not busy. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The dining experience offered a wide variety of options, and the facilities were great. However, the dining room was a bit drafty, and the breakfast in the basement was slightly cold.
