Liseberg Grand Curiosa Hotel
Nice hotel, although a little chaotic at times with young kids running around and shoes left at bottom of staircases, kids charging around near the breakfast buffet, etc. Rooms nice although they could do with a low level light / nightlight particularly with a kids bedroom area which is otherwise ...

Draken Hotel was absolutely amazing. Room was a great size and very modern. Only complaint is NO drawers. Bed linen was best ever. Reception staff were very nice & helped me when I had an issue which was quickly resolved. Breakfast fantastic & lots of choices. Will definitely return.
