Oops...I made a big mistake and did not trust my gut on this one…read more Bad hotel choice for 2 reasons: 1. LOUD! There is a nightclub just outside the majority of the rooms. After a long trip from the USA, this was not what I wanted in a hotel. I was so angry I nearly threw my suitcase out the window at this place. OK, it was a lot of fun when I was 20 , but I need my sleep now! 2. Bad service in restaurant. Sat there for 15 minutes to get any acknowledgment at all. Good hotel choice for location, and the breakfast, but in my view there are too many choices to select this one just for those small positives. You can do better... I am dissapointed to have spent such a lousy time in such an otherwise delightful place

A nice hotel but a little bit away from central station! A nice walk there and back of course! The…read morestaff are ok, quite friendly and the rooms were nice overlooking one of the man streets in Goteborg! Two things brought down my stay and that was the fact that one of the lights in my room was broken and therefore could not sleep properly, the other was the noisy drunken crowd out on the streets which also kept me up until 1230am! Other than this the breakfast was good with loads of gluten and lactose free stuff to choose from, which was nice!

Stop! Turn around! Find another hotel!…read more The. Worst. Hotel I've ever stayed at. I can't BELIEVE they call themselves a 4-star hotel and that this is supposed to be the top brand of the Choice hotels group. First of all it is the UGLIEST hotel. The furniture is cheap and old and ugly. The rooms (and we were staying in the nicest room) were sparse and depressing. We were supposed to have an equipped kitchen and we had barely anything. Two plates, one bowl, a pair of mismatched silverware, and NO glasses! The bathroom looks like something out of an airport. The only amenities we got were shampoo and a half empty bottle of conditioner. The lobby had a 10-ft Christmas tree that had a single string of lights wrapped around the top half of it and about seven ornaments total with a tiny little pile of staff presents underneath it. The reception desk doubled as the bar and the lone person working there had to work both. We tried ordering food at their "restaurant"--NOT an actual restaurant at all--and were told that WE WOULD HAVE TO WARM UP OUR PLATES OF FOOD BECAUSE IT WAS FROM YESTERDAY! WHAT??! Their buffet was awful. The soup was over salted and over peppered, the fruit was old, and you had to pick up silverware from the reception desk/bar... There is no excuse for a hotel like this in a city like Gothenburg and to call themselves 4-star is extremely duplicitous. If we had been staying more than one night we would have checked out early and found a different hotel. Especially since the windows even on the seventh floor blocked out none of the noise from the trains and we got no sleep. Just unbelievable. I can't even comment on the service because it was just so irrelevant in the context of everything else.

The signs for this lounge direct you to the end of the terminal only to be redirected back to gate…read more18 where both lounges are found and where are you initially enter this terminal. 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.

This is Stockholm, I would have expected something nicer since the airlines IS Scandanavian…read moreAirlines SAS, but it has the feeling of a very pleasant bus stop not a lounge. 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.

Hotel Arena, Goteborg, was my last stop on a long vacation. I had some reservations because there…read morewas not a lot of feedback about the hotel and the pictures of it, weren't convincing me this is where I wanted to stay. Once I found it (had a little trouble with that ~ it's much closer to the "Arena" then it looked on the map on my phone) and checked in, I was still suspect of what type of hotel it was, as the reception area was just a different set up then what I'm familiar with ~ more like a doctors office or other business that takes place in private sections of a building. I found the receptionist to be very very helpful and knowledgeable of the area ~ very helpful. The refreshment and snack area had many good options and food and beverage was available throughout the night. My room, two twin beds, was very nice, modern interior and the shower was bigger than most other places I stayed. I was very pleased with the room. Catching a taxi was no problem the evening of my stay and the following morning. If I return to Goteborg I will definitely stay at Hotel Arena again. I really felt the quality of stay exceeded my expectations. I also found their rates much more reasonable than other hotels in the area.
