Best Hotels near Vattenspel, Gothenburg

Take bus 60 at the railway station and walk for two minutes near the hotel. In the villa area, it is quite convenient. It is inconvenient to eat around, but we ordered breakfast. The hotel room is spacious and bright, and an extra bed can be accommodated. The shower room is as large as one meter by 1.5 meters, and the water volume is huge and the water pressure is high, giving enough hangers. Nordic hotels seem to have no electric kettles, which can be cleaned every day. The reception at the front desk was very warm and friendly. The accommodation was divided into two orders, but the service staff happily merged the two orders without moving around. Nice hotel with rich breakfast.

Great service, location and value for money! For only a small additional fee they put up an extra bed in our double room for our son, which made staying here cheaper than at less centrally located hostels in Gothenburg. We also appreciated access to refrigerator, microwave, coffee, tea and cookies in the hallway. The breakfast buffet was quite simple but mainly organic. I also appreciate that Le Mat is a social enterprise who create work for people who are far from the labor market. It makes you sleep even better!

I was looking for somewhere affordable just a short walk from Chalmers University and ended up staying in this friendly clean updated traditional hotel. Just minutes away from the main streets, a half hour walk to the sea or Botanic Gardens and with a generous breakfast each morning I could not have asked for more. The staff were welcoming when I arrived early for check in after 20+ hour journey and found me a room. There’s a wonderful old school lift up the centre of the original staircase: be prepared to go alone with your suitcase or squeeze in with one friend because that’s all there is room for!

Having stayed in another property they enrolled me in a so called Rewards programme whereby i would be able to be upgraded on my next stay at one of their properties but they managed to lose my membership number..... It was funny to see the rest of my family ( 8 persons alltogheter corresponding to a little more than 1000 euros worth of rooms) being upgraded to executive floors with late check out facilities and dissatisfied i took the key of my room on third floor. After a visit to Liseberg Christmas week end eve we returned to this hotel and when i asked to enter the bar with my party and i was directed to the reception to ask the possibility to access the bar when it was clearly stated that hotel's guests have priority access.All this coupled with a few spiders nest on the room lamp and dust over closets doors made me think that is absolutely not my kind of hotel chain. Too bad the Gothia was fully booked but i'd rather sleep in my car for my next visit.

We felt very welcome and relaxed in this beautiful place with a great location. Close to many nice places to visit. Both Majorna and the central city. The staff helped us out to make our stay with a nine month year old baby as convenient as possible!

Judging by the good reviews dating 2 or 3 years back, and my recent experience, I'd say this hotel probably suffered from the pandemic. On the plus side, the boat is beautiful, the location good, the welcome warm, and the breakfast was excellent. On the downside, the room was tired and shabby, had not been properly serviced, and the staff were somewhat confused. On an old ship, I'd expect the rooms to be old. But there was no closet to store clothes, just a couple of hangers dangling from loosely fitted hooks on the wall. The furniture was ancient, and the whole room needed renovation. There was only a tiny hand towel in the bathroom, and the trash was un-emptied. The service was also uneven to say the least. It was actually quite friendly, until we were told that the top deck was out of bounds and we had to stay ”inside”. We were not asked to prepay, and there was no-one in reception the following morning. We had to telephone a number written down at the desk to get someone to show up and take our money, and the checkout process took 20 minutes. In short, this looks like it was once an excellent hotel, but at least some of the rooms badly need renovating, and the whole business could do with an injection of professionalism.

I’m torn between 3 and 4 stars. I liked the size of the room, the fact that the kids could have their own beds (we had a lofted family room), and the professionalism and courtesy of the staff. It was very nice that we could walk to Liseberg and the Universium from the hotel, since those were our two main destinations in Gothenburg. Breakfast was good. Not the best breakfast buffet I had in Sweden, but still good. There was quite a large selection so everyone found something to enjoy. The breakfast area did get rather crowded and noisy in the later part of the morning, but that’s probably to be expected in a hotel of this size. They seemed very sensitive to food allergies and restrictions, though I don’t have first hand experiences to report there. The maids did a great job cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, and the linens were clean. The room really needed a deep cleaning, though. The wooden floor had engrained dirt and was sticky, the loft staircase handrail felt sticky, and the do not disturb sign was soiled. (It looked like someone sneezed on it.) This hotel was the only one in Sweden where I felt I had to keep my shoes on in my room so my feet didn’t get soiled. That really affected how I felt about my stay. Room cleanliness is very important to me. Also, only one window opened and only a few inches. The other was locked shut. The weather was quite warm while we were there and it would have been nice to open both windows. I didn’t enjoy that any kind of room cleaning or linen replacement had to be requested by 10 pm the night before. I am finding that this is a more and more common trend in hotels but on the other hand it wasn’t the case for the hotels where I stayed in Stockholm and Orsa. I’m not sure that I’d stay here again. Of the three hotels I experienced in Sweden, this is the only one I’d hesitate to return to.

10 points for convenience, normal environment, basically comfortable, very suitable for business workers. There is already a 10 points large shopping mall opposite. There is no need to worry about dinner, and breakfast is good, but please note that the entrance is outside, and inside Not allowed into the hotel

Very central hotel located close to the train station. Super nice service at reception and fantastic servive in the oak bar, You have to visit this bar. Nice clean rooms and friendly staff. A littel bit crowdy at breakfast and hard to get seats, So choose another time than peak time when the hotel is almost full. But overall a great place to stay.

We just loved Gotyhenberg and the location next to the rail station of this scandic was just great. We chose it cause of thre breakfast and werent disappointed. The variety was just lovely. The room was small but cosy-the bed also small but very comfortable. The shower and facilities were nice. I am a tall person, so would have appreciated a slightly bigger room, but I am guessing there arent any, which isnt a big issue in itself. The big critique for us was the lack of helpful reception- we have come to get used to customer service oriented staff around the world where we have stayed, but when needing help to obtain a refund for a misprinted airport bus ticket, we were told they couldnt call and we would need to do so from the room at a cost. We just couldnt grasp this response as it seemed completely unhelpful and cold. Please can you address this for next time as when you are staying in a stange place what you need most is helpful, ”cant do enough for you” and customer oriented staff-otherwise why would you return?
