Great location, right in the centre close to all.majjor attractions.Breakfast was average, the room was much smaller than anticipated and could.benefit from a makeover.

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.

Welcoming Oasis

The staff was very welcoming, kind, and helpful. This is a small, beautiful space with art throughout. We enjoyed a drink in the coolness of the courtyard. Breakfast was lovely. We felt safe and secure. It seemed like a tasteful example of Göteborg hospitality.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel staff were pleasant and gave good service but we got a room facing the back alley where construction was ongoing and it was impossible to relax in the room between 7-16. Also, the standard double room did not have a fridge, which was disappointing.
