Excellent location, breakfast, value, and service!
Pros:

It's difficult choosing a hotel for a city you've never visited, but having done it I can tell you that this is an EXCELLENT choice. Two blocks from Central Station, easily walkable to everywhere, fantastic friendly staff, and OMG that breakfast every morning!! If you're coming from the US, forget what you think you know about a "hotel breakfast" - this is an amazing layout of fresh local breads, home made waffle batter, eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cheeses, fresh cut fruit, coffee, cappuccino, and much more. We had an amazing stay, and we will definitely return next time we're in Gothenburg

Trevlig personal, bra frukost, centralt, inte jätte bra städat, konstig lukt i rummet.
Pros:

Mysigt

Cons:

Utsikt mot bakgården, men det kanske man måste ha som önskemål att få bättre utsikt.

Pros:

It is a very characterful, historic hotel in a very convenient location for the city centre and business districts with an excellent buffet breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful and clearly proud of their hotel. I particularly appreciated the phone call shortly after I had checked out telling me that I had left my Kindle in my room and I was able to return and pick it up during my lunch break.

Cons:

The room may be a little small for some but was fine for me.

Traditional Gothenburg hotel, friendly, best location. Best cake.
Pros:

Great location.
Old fashioned hotel style yet modern facilities.
Best bit free cake in the afternoon.

Cons:

Nothing.
Perhaps know parking is shown as available but it’s a pay one and you pay £25 a day.
