We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Although it’s a place chosen by families with young children, our room remained remarkably quiet throughout the entire visit. We slept well, relaxed easily, and felt genuinely comfortable. The room and bathroom were newly renovated, modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. One of the absolute highlights was the breakfast buffet, truly outstanding in both variety and quality.

The family room was clean and well-equipped. The hotel itself was undergoing some construction which didn't have any detrimental impact on our stay, though. A breakfast slot needs to be booked via the hotel's website but they are quite lenient if you're showing up a bit later. The breakfast was really good and the staff was very quick at restocking. The hotel itself is located within walking distance of the town centre and very close to the Ullevi.

The hotel staff are very friendly but I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the room I slept in. Was disappointed as it looked very shabby and cheap which I didn’t expect. I have been in better hotels before with the same status. My room was not once cleaned whilst I was there which was odd. We had dirty towel when we first came into the room which didn’t set the scene of cleanliness. No top up of tea or coffee which is the norm in hotel rooms. Breakfast was lovely and was plenty of it. All in all, its was ok.

Aamiaisella olisi voinnut olla enemmän hedelmiä, puuroa muutakin kun yön yli puuro, ja suomalaisena jäin kaipaamaan ruisleipää. Huone pääasiassa siisti, vessaan saattoi kertyä pölyä viikon aikana myös meistä, mutta pieni pölyisyys ei hirveästi haitannut. Henkilökunta todella palvelualtista ja mukavaa. Yleisten tilojen kokolattiamatot olisivat voinneet olla siistimmät, mutta ottaen huomioon hotellin remontin, niin kyllä oli siistiä. Huone vaikutti kuvissa isommalta ja lievästi harmitti saunan remppa, sekä se ettei mielestäni mistään käynnyt ilmi, mitä missäkin on. Esim. leikkihuone tuli vahingossa vastaan ja ikinä ei selvinnyt missä kerroksessa sauna, kuntosali jne. on.
