Decent hotel in walking distance of central Gothenburg. A little dated but relatively well cleaned and staff are friendly. Breakfast is also good and included. Hotel is what you expect for the low price.
It was a fabulous tall ship very close to the town centre. We had an amazing stay 😊

Careless service
When the info (also at the door entrance) says the reception should be manned, and it isn´t... And I had to be in a telephone que to check, as I was standing outside the door, it didn´t make me happy.
Next morning unfriendly staff at breakfast, and still nobody at the reception, then I can´t say it was a happy stay.

The 'hotel' is certainly a different experience, near to the city centre and is great to look at from the outside. The included breakfast was also good for the price. BUT it is not like a hotel, as there was little or no reception or room service (eg although reception was advertised as being open from 7am -9pm it was closed almost all the time of my 3 day stay- even when I went to check out at 11 am on my last morning. The only time I found someone there - at 1 p.m. on the 2nd day - to ask for help with my TV which I couldn't get to work - she indicated she was busy and asked for my room number (which was only a few doors down from reception). I waited c3 hours: no-one came and she has left when I then went to find out what was happening! No-one came to the room to fix or service it in the whole of my stay. The room/cabin was also very stuffy with no means of controlling the temperature/air flow. Out of hours check-in/access was also unnecessarily complicated.
