Hotels Near Poseidon in Gothenburg

I needed to arrange a conference at the same hotel a trade show was being held. Based on a previous experience I thought all would be ok, I was wrong. The hotel seems to work openly against your actual requirements. I'd asked for rooms to be reserved which proved a problem. I'd said from the outset that we'd require a group dinner with menu choices, this also proved to be a problem which resulted in me needing to find a restaurant nearby who could help. Ridiculous that Gothia towers (at it's size) expects a large group to all eat the same meal with no regards to choice, whereas a local restaurant can accommodate you seems strange to say the least. When arriving at the conference rooms I was taken aback that I wasn't able to meet my contact whom I'd shared so many emails. It was a faceless envelope handover and the mention of 'ask at reception if you need anything'. The only positive from this was a lady called Christina who was able to help locate items that had been shipped ahead, I'm grateful for her help. The breakfast room at the hotel was disorganized chaos, find somewhere to sit by yourself and get on with things. It reminded me of an all you can eat option in a hotel in Egypt years ago. An experience I never repeated, much like this event left me with the same thought!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Avalon hotel. It's in a very convenient location close to the city center (and close to bus/tram stops). Check in/out was seamless and the staff very friendly. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast buffet had many options. We also had lunch at the restaurant upon arrival and the food was very good! The only downside to Avalon is that while it's in a central location, that also means the area around the hotel is busy/crowded. We stayed over a weekend and it was pretty loud outside our room on the street which kept us up at night / recycling service woke us very early in the morning.

Having an appointment close by this property has a superb location literally opposite Göteborg central. Great if you are arriving by train, coming by car means that parking is at an (understandable) premium. But, for 395:- a night you get a reasonably spacious garage with direct access to the hotel. The hotel is designed in a square formation with a large atrium in the middle. It's good to be aware that many of the rooms face the atrium, which means your view will be looking out into the atrium. On Friday night the hotel had some event with live DJ and loud (but good!) music - having one of these internal rooms would have been disturbing. The check-in went smoothly, the receptionist recognized my Radisson status and gave us a room overlooking the square (one could see the station from the room!) and it was very quiet (didn't hear anything from the party/event on Friday night). Bathroom was fresh and clean, the shower had decent pressure although it tended to splash water on the floor. The executive room we got was spacious, had a comfy sofa (which didn't feel super clean), very comfortable bed, nespresso machine .. and no shoehorn! It seems to be a disappointing trend for Radisson properties to either have a pathetic small shoehorn, or none at all. The entrance was carpeted which although it had been vacuumed, it felt a little dirty. The rest of the room was wooden floors. The TV looked impressive - a good size .. but it turned out to be quite a dated unit with no accessible HDMI ports, we never used it. Breakfast is not included by default in the rate, and I have mentioned in other Radisson property reviews, this tends to reduce crowding and improve quality significantly. Breakfast was good here, not quite as good as the one in Stockholm, but the staff were overall very good. Didn't have a chance to try the gym or spa, but entering and exiting the lobby area it always felt lively and there was a hub of activity, especially on Friday evening. I would stay here again, and would recommend this property.

One of the nicest hotels I have stayed in for a while, especially for the price which is excellent value for a hotel in the heart of the city. Very close to the airport bus (100m) and walking distance to everywhere downtown. The staff were all smiling and very helpful, and special mention to the excellent buffet breakfast. The room was a very good size, as was the bathroom. Fairly fast wifi, and loved the unusual set of dumbells in every room for a quick workout!! Will definitely stay here again, and highly recommend.

The hotel was near Jungangyeong, so the transportation was good and convenient. The price is a little more expensive than other hotels of the same class, but it includes cafe use and dinner in the afternoon I have had a good week without worrying about dinner. The nearby nordstan shopping mall is close, so it sounds good for shopping. One regrettable thing is that the hotel doesn't seem to be able to manage the noise and fights of other guests during the evening.

Scandic Europa is the perfect location to stop if you ate going to a concert at the Ullevi stadium. Located right by the main station. The rooms were adequate and the breakfast excellent. We did have a couple of issues that were immediately sorted out so nothing negative to say. We left very early in the morning, Uber was on time and we were provided with breakfast boxes. Overall a very good choice.

🚌 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!

Absolutely perfect destination if you have to spend one or two nights in this beautiful city for business or pleasure. It's just 5-minutes to the central train station and boasts a stunning panorama view of the port.

The Internet celebrity hotel is indeed quite popular. The walls of the hotel are all red, which is very beautiful. The hotel is relatively new, and the facilities and supplies are very new. Two rooms, 335 and 322, were opened at the same time, but the sizes were different. 335 was very large, while 322 was much smaller. The breakfast is rich and has a variety of choices to satisfy your taste buds. The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the city and it is not convenient to travel. Otherwise, it is very good.

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.
