    It was a pleasant stay, we will travel again in the future.

    1, There was no storage space for clothes in the room, just a narrow hanging cupboard above the fridge, for "tall Vikings". There are no shelves for short European women, you couldn't unpack your suitcase, just put all your clothes on the one chair. If you're traveling for several days and aren't 2 meters tall, you won't be able to store your clothes. 2, The bed was very soft and sunken in. For older people with spinal hernias, a hard bed is appropriate, but this was not possible here.

    The breakfast was great, plentiful, everyone could find their favorite dishes. The Vietnamese chef who cooked and baked eggs and pancake was very kind and always smiling, it was nice to chat with him. It was our first time in a hotel with a code card elevator, we didn't know how the elevator worked. They didn't explain it at the reception. :)) The cleanliness is great, as is the coffee and tea facilities in the room. The hairdryer had to be pressed constantly to work, which is quite inconvenient, in our country it doesn't work like that. I think anyone who wants to dry hair knows about electricity, if it's a "protection", then it's absolutly unnecessary, it would be enough to just hold the hairdryer, not constantly press the button... We went to the Obie spa, it was very good and pleasant, as was the pizza and wine we had there.

    We came to Gothenburg to the way out west festival. It was also to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything was out

    The only thing I would say was a problem was nose from outside. We were there during a festival and there is a bar on the corner where you can hear a bit of booming bass from. It didn’t interrupt my sleep but did bother partner. One problem I would say with noise which can be helped is the slamming of the doors. They slam quite loud when closing and can wake up up if people are arriving late/leaving early.

    Everything! From walking in the lounge has this great relaxed feel and lots of areas to relax. The staff were incredibly helpful every time we needed help with something. The bedding was LUSH and the room felt luxurious. The Rituals products were great too. Breakfast is always my favourite part of staying at hotel and they didn’t disappoint. Hands down the best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. Because of all of this we won’t be staying at any other hotel apart from this hotel now when visiting Gothenburg! We LOVED the Obie spa and enjoyed the cold and hot experiences. We felt so relaxed but energised afterwards which is what we needed when walking around all day!

    Great hotel - rooftop bar is a must to go and experience.

    Quite expensive - but what isn't it Sweden (especially when a big concert is in town and all the hotels hiked their prices acordingly)

    Great location - pity I didn't have a room with a view. Didn't eat at the restaurant but friends who live in Gothenburg said it has a good reputation (esp breakfast). Highlight for me was 34th floor rooftop bar - just apity it was so busy, I couldn't get a decent spot to look out.....but the external lift up to it was great too. Top hotel - will definitely stay there next time I visit Gothenburg.

    The view was terrible from one of the rooms. The A/C wasn’t working. The cleaning was inconsistent. However when we asked to have the room cleaned it was done.

    It was very hard to get to because of major construction outside. The parking was hard to get to as well because of this. It’s a big hotel so breakfasts area was very crowded. Food was good.

    Modern, beautiful, air conditioned hotel. Comfortable rooms and spacious bathroom. Very nice views from the rooms and the rooftop bar. Staff were very nice. Check-in was fast.

    Our room wasn't cleaned in the three nights we stayed nor the towels replaced with new ones. The hotel seemed very busy so maybe it was because of that. When I booked (so long in advance) I had asked to do an early check-in but it wasn't offered to us unfortunately.

    It's a great hotel, amazing breakfast, very comfy beds and has a nice view from both the room and the rooftop bar. I loved that it has a full gym (Nordic gym) so I could workout properly for free, and the equipment was all Technogym and Eleiko so pretty high quality.

    What a fantastic stay, After a long first day of exploring, I enjoyed a shower with complimentary Rituals products and then sunk my head into the most comfortable pillow. The Rooftop bar did not disappoint. The views,atmosphere, and Dj were all great (Saturday Evening) perfect date night spot watching the sunset or cocktails with the girls. Gym offered various machines and weights. The Breakfast was great, plenty of choices and fresh omlettes.

    The rooms were a little bit too small specially if u have big bags and the view from our room was not nice.

    The downstairs lounge areas are fantastic. And the roof top bar as well.
