Hotels near Vandring Vättlefjäll, Gothenburg

First of all - the breakfast. Lots of things to choose from, fresh and delicious. They have a coffee machine in the lobby and a microwave which is great, the relaxation area and gym were very good, and we loved that we had a bathtub in our room. Very friendly staff and generous checkout- and checkin-times. The only thing we have to complain about is the pillows, far to thick, and the covers that were far too hot so the sleep was not very good but everything else absolutely fantastic. Would definitely stay again!

The location is quite good, with a bus stop nearby and you can reach to the city center easily. The room is clean and comfortable. No problem at all.

Overall good experience and near to central station. Only issue was thin walls, you can hear next room and outside if someone speaking. Breakfast is good 👍

We just loved Gotyhenberg and the location next to the rail station of this scandic was just great. We chose it cause of thre breakfast and werent disappointed. The variety was just lovely. The room was small but cosy-the bed also small but very comfortable. The shower and facilities were nice. I am a tall person, so would have appreciated a slightly bigger room, but I am guessing there arent any, which isnt a big issue in itself. The big critique for us was the lack of helpful reception- we have come to get used to customer service oriented staff around the world where we have stayed, but when needing help to obtain a refund for a misprinted airport bus ticket, we were told they couldnt call and we would need to do so from the room at a cost. We just couldnt grasp this response as it seemed completely unhelpful and cold. Please can you address this for next time as when you are staying in a stange place what you need most is helpful, ”cant do enough for you” and customer oriented staff-otherwise why would you return?

This hotel was really nice, a bit hard to find the entrance as its not typically with the reception at det ground floor, and you have to take the elevator up to the second floor. The people in the reception was really nice, they offered a light evening meal for free, and a ”fika” in the middle of the day. They also use rituals products which gives the hotel a bit more luxuray, and it smells amazing. The room was big, the bed was amazing and we enjoyed our stay 😁

The hotel is located above Gothenburg Central Station, which is very convenient. The soundproofing is also good and the hotel is very quiet. This price should be a very cost-effective hotel in Sweden.

It’s very rare you find a hotel that checks all the boxes but this is it for me. Had the friendliest welcome when arriving at a late hour. The check in was quick, easy and I was in my room in no time. I’d forgotten adapters for my electrical items, the hotel was like no problem. Turns out the rooms have USB and USB-C plugs in the rooms so was covered. Moving onto the room. I had the best sleep ever. Perfect climate control. Wonderful views to wake up to and just every little detail was just amazing. After a delicious breakfast (lots of choice, Swedish and international cuisine), I explored the hotel further, the gym looks really good (I didn’t use it… just told myself I should have) and they also had a sauna. Moving outside, the location. The freshest air ever (it was nice to breath there) and literally just over the water from the city centre. If you like to walk, it’s perfectly acceptable however as I travelled with people who don’t like to walk, the hotel directed us to a bus stop one minute away. Literally two stops later, you’re in the centre. The hotel pointed out the work being done on the water front. There’ll soon be the option of getting back and forth that way. Finally, the team. It’s clear that this hotel clearly has the customers at the heart of what they do. Everyone I spoke to was warm, friendly and open to sharing hints and tips to make our stay in Gothenburg magical. And it was… EVERYONE needs to visit this wonderful city. I’m already planning my next trip and I will definitely stay again at this hotel.

I’m torn between 3 and 4 stars. I liked the size of the room, the fact that the kids could have their own beds (we had a lofted family room), and the professionalism and courtesy of the staff. It was very nice that we could walk to Liseberg and the Universium from the hotel, since those were our two main destinations in Gothenburg. Breakfast was good. Not the best breakfast buffet I had in Sweden, but still good. There was quite a large selection so everyone found something to enjoy. The breakfast area did get rather crowded and noisy in the later part of the morning, but that’s probably to be expected in a hotel of this size. They seemed very sensitive to food allergies and restrictions, though I don’t have first hand experiences to report there. The maids did a great job cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, and the linens were clean. The room really needed a deep cleaning, though. The wooden floor had engrained dirt and was sticky, the loft staircase handrail felt sticky, and the do not disturb sign was soiled. (It looked like someone sneezed on it.) This hotel was the only one in Sweden where I felt I had to keep my shoes on in my room so my feet didn’t get soiled. That really affected how I felt about my stay. Room cleanliness is very important to me. Also, only one window opened and only a few inches. The other was locked shut. The weather was quite warm while we were there and it would have been nice to open both windows. I didn’t enjoy that any kind of room cleaning or linen replacement had to be requested by 10 pm the night before. I am finding that this is a more and more common trend in hotels but on the other hand it wasn’t the case for the hotels where I stayed in Stockholm and Orsa. I’m not sure that I’d stay here again. Of the three hotels I experienced in Sweden, this is the only one I’d hesitate to return to.

We really wanted to like this place. The location seemed nice online - but in person you are surrounded by construction - this is 2021 but from what I can find the construction is going to be here for a while. It’s almost like the whole city is under construction. It makes navigating around the hotel, on foot, via bike/scooter, or in a car - very challenging. There is a ton of public transport here though. Which brings me to the next bad point. Noise. If you’re on the 6th floor with the balconies - don’t expect to leave your doors open unless you like noise. The busses and trains and other traffic are fairly quiet as far as transit goes - but they do make noise, as well as the traffic signals. And they run all the time. In addition - anything on the 6th floor and you get thumping bass music *all night* from the nightclub above you (especially on weekends). Damn near impossible to sleep. Another thing which bugged us (may not bug you) is a lot of people smoking on their patios around us made ours smell bad fairly often. The bathroom is a very neat concept - but executed poorly. The shower would flood water into the main part of the bathroom - like there is not enough slope or drain in the shower and no lip to keep water in there - so it just runs out under the door into the main bathroom area. The restaurants and bars in the hotel are nice. Breakfast was decent - nothing to be amazed by - but it will get you going for the day (although it was really crowded and often very hard to find a socially distanced seat - but this may not apply too long into the future I hope - this review is 2021). The bed is comfortable and the room nice enough. The patio chairs were not the most comfortable, and there was broken glass all around our patio so we had to wear shoes when walking out there. The view was very nice - albeit full of construction (not the fault of the hotel of course). Overall a nice place with lots of tiny flaws that made it annoying. Maybe if you stay farther away from the night club or on one of the lower floors it would be nicer or quieter. Not sure if the bathroom issues would exist in other rooms - if it is a design flaw it probably would.

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!
