Not much to see here. There's fast food like pizza and burgers and a kiosk for magazines and a quick bite. Building is from 1850. read more

Nice place! There are a lot of places to eat and shop, and the places are all really well labeled…read more There are luggage storage areas (80 kr for a day), and there are showers and bathrooms as well. The station is super convenient, as there are busses and trams right outside. The building looks very medieval and Harry Potter-like, so it's pretty awesome!
Good selection of shops and eating options…read more They've had a face lift recently. It is no longer that hang out for non-travellers anymore. It is actually pretty pleasant waiting for your bus or train here now.

Saltholmen is the departure point for the archipelago south of Göteborg. There's a small beach and…read morean area for swimming. And an old fashioned kro (inn) with food and drink. But it is best known as where you park your car and catch the ferry to the car-free islands where people have their summer homes or rent one. There's a trolley to Saltholmen. Don't forget: it stays light very late in the summer in Sweden. Salthomen was beautiful at 9:30 pm (21:30 for Europeans) as the sun slowly set.
The best "beach" in Gothenburg! You'll find ferries to take you to the island (via your västtrafik…read moreticket) and to the west are some small areas you can sit by the ocean. It's not a typical beach with sand, but there are rocks and ladders you can use to jump from and climb out. There is a huge parking lot but in high season expect to come early to snag a spot, else you'll have to find street parking a few kilometers away. There's only a few restaurants and some are only open during the summer season, so plan accordingly!

Not the coolest area in my opinion, if you are looking for food or drinks…read more Summertime is pretty decent for outdoor seating but not my prefered plaza. If you just want a cheap beer or wine and not care much about the food, just the view - it is decent. This is where buses and trams stop. Where people meet by the copper horse.

This is also where Pedagogen is located - one of the institutes of Gothenburg University. There is a café inside but it is not any cheaper as you could think being a students' café. Best selection is around Magasinsgatan or along Västra Hamngatan, but don't forget to take any of the side streets. That being said, this is not a very pleasant area for recreation or just strolling as it is traffic and just streets. But since there are no benches for seating it doesn't gather winos or vagrants which often is the case at parks or larger junctions. Just the stairs from Pedagogen full of students. So next time, jump off the tram here and take a walk to find a new favourite shop or restaurant!

Although we never made it to their restaurant for dinner, the breakfast spread was plentiful and scrumptious. Checking in and out was a breeze. Housekeeping on top of everything.

If you are unfamiliar with this junction, have at least 5-10 minutes to your connection, so you won't panic, run in the wrong direction and miss it - it might be in the other end.

This lounge is tiny, but welcoming and even has a small kiddy corner. When you arrive, you scan yourself in with your boarding pass and are greeted by a friendly face at the reception desk. The breakfast selection was very good. At 5:30 AM. They had oatmeal with defrosted fruit, different variations of bread with multiple options of yogurt, including lactose, free. They had multiple kinds of jelly to put on the yoghurt or toast and even had a very basic charcuterie set up on the other side with a few cheeses some cold cuts, some fermented herring, hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers. They had a large selection for teas and had a very easy coffee machine that gave you multiple delicious options.

The staff are quite pleasant but the facilities are quite budget and or worn and sparse. There was mushroom soup and the bread rolls you get on the inflight service. In flight, they give you heated rolls, not here. One tray of sliced cheese to put on 6 different bread choices but none appetizing looking. A bowl of fruit, a bowl of chips. It reminds me of a college dorm party. The bathrooms are also decently clean but very beat up looking and the magazine selection is non existent. I was quite surprised because I expected more since the Gothenberg lounge and breakfast offering was quite good. I think the art should be styled or updated, it also has the look of a dorm room.

It dates from 1889 and considerable effort appears to have been taken to preserve the old fashioned charm The service when checking in was swift and polite. Was given my room within a few minutes of arriving. The room was on the fourth floor and I was pleasantly surprised that it was fairly big. The decor was not entirely new and modern but it did fit the style of the hotel. The room had a good sized desk,comfortable chairs as well as a very comfortable bed. There were plenty of lamps in the room but would have been nice to have a light switch controlling all lamps (now I had to walk around the room to turn on several lamps). There was no iron, ironing board or coffee/tea making facilities but there was a sign at the desk that one could ask the reception for it - did ask and it was promptly brought to my room. The hotel of course offers free wifi and a pretty good selection of TV channels. The bathroom was fairly small but still sufficient. It had a tub (and there were bathrobes in the room).Seeing that it is a five star hotel I would have expected better quality shower gel, shampoo etc, now it was the standard stuff one finds in all Elite hotels. The hotel has a nice pub (the same chain as in many other elite hotels, the Bishops Arms) in the basement and there is also a very nice restaurant. The spa and fitness centre are also above average. Breakfast was not excellent but not as poor as some others have stated. The selection of bread, cold food etc was good. The hot food was limited but good quality. A bit annoying that they charge extra for additional things such as some variety's of coffee (like lattes etc) as well as omelette's, pancakes and such. Service and quality wise I would not rate the hotel as a five star hotel but considering the price level it is not priced as a five star hotel either so to me it is really great for the price paid.
