Firsltly the location is terrible,next to a industrial area and it takes a long time to go to the city centre .Secondly the service is very bad and the rooms are terribly small. Thirdly the hotel is very expensive for example it cost 590 Sek or 88 Dollars to access the pool area.

Don't know about the hotel as I only went to the spa, but the interior is fantastic. The spa department is really nice, warm pools, Jacuzzi's, light therapy rooms etc. Staff where friendly and helpful. We had a spa package with brunch. When we entered the brunch area there where no staff in sight. We waited for a little while... More

Stayed for business at this hotel. The decor is nice and stylish, especially reception area is warm and welcoming. Rooms are of ok size, tea and coffee facilities were nice. Cleaning was not satisfactory and there is obviously much noise from the trucks entering harbour area. I have attended some conferences at this hotel, and these facilities are good.

We book a spa weekend with a dinner and one hotel night. We really enjoyed the spa. A bit noisy and crowded on the Saturday (I think it would be good to loose the jacuzzi for a more relaxing environment). Nice with three outdoor saunas and an outdoor pool. One hot pool upstairs together with a couple of different saunas... More

This hotel is also a spa with many different options (massage, steam rooms, etc.). If you plan on going there and not anywhere else, I would highly suggest it. However, it is located near the port of Gothenburg and there is not much else around. Getting to the city center via taxi will cost $60+ one way due to the... More

The hotel is located way outside Goteborg, and it will cost you about 30 euro one way to go downtown. There is absolutely nothing to do around, except if you are there on business. The area is industrial, and all you see are huge trade ships, trains with various wagons and stuff like that. You cannot even get close to... More

This hotel along the port of Goteborg has recently been upgraded within the past few years. Today, although the rooms may be small, they are efficient. The size of the hotel can be misleading since most of the building is built into the rocky coast. For starters, I would ask for a room that overlooks the port. Here you can... More

This is a clean, modern and stylish hotel in a good condition. The beds are comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. The only problem with the hotel is the location (if you want to visit Gothenburg without a car). Sure, the hotel is located in the harbour, which gives a nice view, but the surrounding industrial area is still very... More
