Hotels Near Gamla Ullevi in Gothenburg

On a business trip, it was very cold and it was a weekend. The hotel reception was very enthusiastic and helped us to move our luggage, especially the first floor small bar and the cake after 4 o'clock was very good and intimate. Breakfast is also very rich, will come again next time...

The staff working on the weekend were super nice and helpful, and I’ve stayed here many, many times, always so nice & such a lovely boutique place to stay with many awesome things to like. On the day I checked out oh my god, where did this girl suddenly come from? Little wanna be Swedish police officer banging on my door trying to get in. Ok i fell asleep after breakfast? So what. Even after i checked out & and was just having a coffee in the lobby, she came again in my face demanding to know if i had checked out? She was just rude, unprofessional, behavior was unbelievable. Really ruined my experience at the nice hotel Pigalle. Actually, I don’t accept people thinking they are better than everyone else & they think that they can just talk to people like they are a piece of crap. Therefore, sadly, I don’t think I will ever stay here ever again.. Sorry but..

Very nice modern hotel, super convenient location and friendly service! Avalon is on Kungsportplatsen in city center, easy to go around by walk and tram stops are round the corner. Our superior room was nicely furnished, modern design, comfortable beds and huge bathroom. And extra surprise, own balcony. I asked a quiet room and this room really was it. Service at reception and at restaurant was so friendly and attentive. We were first time in Gothenburg and got all the information we needed when we checked in. The breakfast was also good. The Terrace Bar was nice, too and in the morning the breakfast was possible to have outside. Nice! There is a wide collection of art and design at this hotel, we really liked it. We were super convenient and I really can recommend Avalon!

The hotel is easy to find - especially if you get the airport bus into Gothenburg, as it only a few minutes away from the stop, and so is really central. Best rooms are on the top floor, under the roof. We started off on the main floor, near to reception in a Grand Lit Superior room (that being what we paid for in advance). Although that room was large, it was cold and the person working on evening reception (although really helpful) didn't know how to get the heating working (the radiators were all on but no heat in them). Also the central a/c was on - and blowing cold air. Why? That couldn't be turned off, so we eventually swapped rooms - up to the second floor. Although that room was significantly smaller (looking at the website it was a Double Room Superior as it certainly could not be described as 'spacious' - barely any room between the bed and the wardrobe on one side), it was more characterful, and warmer. Still had central air on though. Needless to say, no refund for the difference in room price - so with that and the hassle of changing rooms, I'm not giving 5 stars. Breakfast is very good - just watch when you go as it can get incredibly busy and the staff, despite working mighty hard, don't have time to clear up - so one morning there were a lot of dirty plates/cups stacked up on tables, meaning they couldn't be used, thereby reducing seating. Once the rush was over, however, it was much better. We opted for the wine and fruit deal one evening, which was great - lovely fruit platter, and the fizz was good, too. Overall, an excellent base for exploring Gothenburg.

🚌 Location: Take the bus from the airport and then walk for 10 minutes. Walking all the way through several major sightseeing spots in Gothenburg. 🛏️ Room: There are many rooms on each floor, like walking through a maze when you first check in. The bed in the room is independent of two mattresses and is also very good design. Like most European hotels, toothbrushes are not available. But the room has a hair dryer, which is great. 🍜 Breakfast: Breakfast is a classic European style, just a variety of salads, breads, cold dishes, not too special. Some traditional Swedish food can be tasted new. 😠 Insufficient: The toilet flushing in the room I lived in was bad. I told the staff on the first day, and no one repaired it for me the next day! In order not to leave the room and not flush away, I can go to the hotel's public toilet!

The room has just been renovated for a year, the facilities are perfect, the room on the 12th floor has a good view. The hotel lobby is great in design, with a lot of space and a lot of sofas. The breakfast was particularly rich.

I was warm welcomed even though arrived by reception closure due to trains drastic delay. Very cozy room and rather big, antique furniture, kettle in the room. Breakfast variety is amazing. Georgian restaurant offers delicious food from 16.00, almost authentic

The room was clean and had an iron, kettle and fridge. The “double” bed upstairs was two single beds shoved together. Not worth paying for a third person as it was a sofa bed- which pulled out extremely low down so they basically slept on the floor. They also had a very hard section so was not very comfy. It cost us an extra 85 pounds for this- which was not worth it! Overall, it was a good stay as there is a swimming pool (limited opening hours though), they let you leave your bags at reception and the views are greta

The Radisson Blu in Gothenburg is in a slightly remove location from the center, but not far from access to taxi, short bus or scooter ride. Unfortunately a taxi from this location can be quite expensive to the center, at approximately 350-400kr, but public transport is close-by and easy. The rooms are very nice, a little on the small side but acceptable seen as you won't spend a lot of time in the hotel when you're visiting this great city. The views from the rooms are also good. Just a short walk from the hotel is a boat port, where you can take a nice boat trip to the city, an alternative form of transport, very scenic too! Downstairs in the hotel is a great bar and restaurant serving good cocktails and Italian themed meals. There is outdoor seating for breakfast but the area isn't very desirable/pretty, and isn't facing the waterfront, but it's nice to have an outdoor option. The service was very good and friendly. Without doubt, the highlight of this hotel is the spa area located on the roof-top, with great views across the city and water, it lacks an outdoor infinity pool but does have a small indoor pool and bar, as well as a hot-tub outside under a covered roof. Overall. not a bad hotel if you're looking to relax and happy for a short drive/bus/taxi/scooter to get to the center of the city.

The design and the rooms are fine. Cleaning of the rooms 👍. But the beds especially the top madras was poor. The breakfast is served, at a corner to hall of the horse race track. Coffee cups and cutlery are dirty. Employees don’t react when we tell them. And the food plain and very boring. We stayed there during the Gothic cup. Big mistake. The hotel was not geared for that many guests. We had to eat breakfast with many, many and loud football camp kids. After the first disaster breakfast, we asked the receptionist when we could go and have breakfast the next morning…..hoping we could eat without feeling we were in a school dining hall. So to do that we had to get up eat in order to find a decent area to sit.
