Staying at Clarion Hotel The Pier in Sweden turned out to be one of those experiences where you feel at ease almost immediately. There’s a certain warmth to the place that makes it stand out from the moment you walk through the doors.
Friendly Staff Who Truly Welcome You
What I noticed right away was how genuinely friendly the staff were. Every time we entered or walked past the front desk, we were greeted with a smile or a kind word. It’s such a simple gesture, but it created this feeling of being looked after, as if we were more than just passing guests.
A Location That Balances Quiet and Convenience
The hotel’s setting struck the perfect balance—peaceful and quiet, yet still so easy to get into the city center. It felt like we had the best of both worlds: calm evenings by the water, and the city’s energy just a short ride away.
Beautiful Skyline and Water Views
From the hotel, the view stretched across the skyline and the water, and it was just lovely. Whether it was morning light reflecting off the buildings or the soft glow in the evenings, those views gave the place a special atmosphere that I won’t forget.
A Studio Room That Feels Like Home
Our studio room came with a small kitchenette, and I can’t stress enough how handy that was. For a longer stay, being able to cook a simple meal or make a late tea added such a homely touch. The room itself felt modern and cozy, just right for settling in without feeling cramped.
A Breakfast with Heart
Breakfast was always a cheerful way to start the day, not just because of the food but because of the people. The breakfast chef, a lovely lady with beautiful red hair, had the warmest presence. She greeted everyone with such kindness that it set the tone for the rest of the day.
Looking back, what made Clarion Hotel The Pier memorable wasn’t just the location or the facilities—it was the sense of care woven through the stay. Between the quiet setting, the beautiful views, the comfort of the room, and those daily warm greetings (especially at breakfast), the hotel managed to feel both professional and genuinely personal.

Guest UserWell everything besides our check out experience was great. Really great!
Then when checking out, we had 3 interactions with the reception about checking out prior to checking out. and only the one at 12:30 (when checking out with luggage and all), we were told to pay a 200SEK late-fee, which I was then told could’ve been even higher and that I should be thankful they didn’t charge me double…
Not nice - and we had 3 interactions prior to this for this exact reason. I wanted to work out first and then shower in the room before leaving. If we were told the first time about the late check out fee; we would’ve checked out then and there.
I complained about this practice, to deaf ears. Not coming back despite it being very nice and perfect for a Liseberg weekend with the family

Very historic hotel. The building is beautiful inside and outside, with ulterior motives. There are many retro furniture and furnishings inside, and the atmosphere is great.
The interior of the room is fully equipped, and the wooden furniture used is also very antique, which matches the image of the hotel. Don't use a modern room card, but still use a copper key, which is very weighty in your hand.
The breakfast in the hotel is very rich. It is recommended to watch the meal provided before starting to eat. Breakfast recommended lettuce bagel salmon meat, very delicious. In addition, there is a 24-hour hot coffee, which is quite intimate. After going out, you can have a cup of hot coffee in the beautiful lobby to warm up.
The best thing is the location, just beside the central station, just across the road, the traffic is in all directions, the bus stop to the airport and the central station together, and you can reach the airport in half an hour.
If you come back to Gothenburg, you will definitely stay at this hotel again.

The hotel was exceptionally clean and organized. They have several great amenities like a sauna & luggage storage for the day (even after you check out). Not far from anything and in a great location. The staff all speak great English and were incredibly friendly! Breakfast was traditionally Swedish with lots to choose from and easy for anyone to find something enjoyable.

We arrived at 7:30 pm and were told we got a room “upgrade”. The room was small so we really wondered what the “original” room looked like. The bed had stains on the cover that was laid under the mattress
which didn’t look good. We went down to the lobby and found nobody present. We moved on to the restaurant, it was 8 pm. Half full and we were met with the wonderful advise that they were closed for service. This was Friday May 16th and the menu
board was still at the entrance door to the restaurant.
We went back to the reception and queried why the restaurant was not serving dinner at 8 pm on a Friday.
The receptionist looked dumbfounded and told us it usually serves dinner at least until 9 pm but she took no action to assist us except to say we could walk fir 15 minutes to the Aveny, a street with lots of restaurants but could not suggest any close by. We ended up going to, as it happened, a fantastic restaurant right around the corner called Le Pigalle on the top floor of, we guess, a competing hotel. Fabulous meal in a restaurant that knew how to treat their guests.
In short we have regretfully no positive things to say about the ProfilHotels Opera in Gothenburg.
Gothenburg was fantastic but when we return we will definitely not book at the Opera which is overpriced for the standard and service they offer. Total waste of money at this venue. Regretfully we did not bother to take any pictures of the place as it is nothing we wish to remember about it.

The hotel’s location is excellent and very convenient for exploring the city, which was definitely a highlight of my stay. However, there were a few aspects that fell short of expectations. Firstly, my room did not have a view of the street as I had hoped, but instead faced an inner atrium, which made it feel somewhat enclosed and less appealing. Additionally, I had booked a double room but was given a twin room instead, which was disappointing. The reception staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming, which affected the overall first impression. On a more positive note, the food in the restaurant was of satisfactory quality, and the selection was quite diverse. Overall, this is a solid hotel in a convenient location for city exploration, but the experience was far from memorable.

Guest UserMy stay was generally good, and the staff was friendly. However, there were several issues worth mentioning:
The parking cost was higher than what was stated on the website.
On the 3rd floor of the parking garage, there is no shelter, and the spaces are very tight. If another car parks slightly off‑center, it becomes difficult to park. On the first day, I had to check all floors and eventually found a spot only on the 3rd floor, though the following days were fine.
The parking entrance passcode was changed without informing guests in advance. We only learned about it after facing problems at the entrance.
The room looked exactly like the pictures, but there were no extra amenities beyond what was shown.
One of the towels had a brown stain, which was unpleasant.
The shampoo provided was good.
Overall, the stay was okay, but improving communication and parking conditions would make the experience much better

This hotel is very walking east of the train center station, very inconspicuous turntable, but it has been for a hotel group, and it has been renovated, so it is very good, there is access control, the first time the doorbell is good, the elevator is old-fashioned.
The room is small and complete, suitable for two people or more people, one person can also be, the price is slightly more expensive.
The front desk on the first floor is the content of the picture, 24 hours coffee biscuits and juice, there is no water in the room, you can drink it.
Breakfast is very good, the type is OK, it is also a place to drink water on the first floor. From 4 pm to 9 pm, flour is also provided for guests to make waffles for themselves. The flour has been made into batter. Guests need to add waffles to their own taste. How to make a random search video learn
In short, the newly renovated, still quiet, the central station is ten minutes away, there is a tram stop next to it, breakfast, the price can be selected within 500, but this is not the city, the outside is not lively, the supermarket also has a coop, eating less. So, take what you need.

We had a nice stay overall. The room was comfortable, but the cleanliness could be better. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection, and the staff were friendly and helpful. With a bit more attention to detail in cleaning, this hotel would be an excellent choice.

Marty48Service was excellent from the moment I got there until the minute I checked-out.
Hotel is very clean and lots of amenities for travellers.
The location was a little out of town but there's a great bus link and if you're feeling upto it just over an hour's walk.
Food was very good and a large selection of hot and cold food for breakfast as well.
Only mark down is for the location as it's outwith the city centre, other than that there's plenty to do in the hotel or nearby. Although it's great if you just want some peace and quiet.
