I stayed here because I came for a festival. Central station is walkable from hotel, train to festival was only a few minutes, I wasnt aware hotel provided breakfast which was just absolutely delicious. My room was much better then I was expecting it to be, I felt like I was on a retreat. 10/10!!!

The air conditioning did not work. We were staying there as a group, and several of the other rooms had external fans or portable AC units placed in them.

Trevligt ställe nära till de mesta, lite knöligt att parkera bilen, men det är ju Göteborg. Hissen var lite otäck rörde mycket på sig fast man inte åkt än. Korridorerna är mycket smala, men rummen är stora och rymliga. Lite dimmigt, och lite slitet på sina ställen, men överlag trevligt och rent. Det är ju ett mindre hotell så frukosten överraskade med god variation och en jättegod äggstanning, lite extra salt bara! Fanns gott om låglaktos alternativ. Skulle absolut kunna stanna här igen.
