This hotel is a real gem - independent, oldest in gothenburg, beautiful and in some places quirky decorations, retaining a real sense of individuality - so many lovely touches from the individually decorated rooms, afternoon cake and wonderful sitting rooms, fantastic staff (second visit now and recognised some of the faces), great waffles at breakfast - location is also perfect very close to train station, trams and airport bus drop off points - already returned!!

This was my first stop in Sweden and the staff quickly helped alleviate my travel jitters, they were all very kind and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and the outdoor seating area was a fun surprise. The location is perfect, just a couple minute walk from the central station, the canal & park and the central shopping area. The fact that its still independently owned is also a bonus.

The hotel itself is beautiful—the decor comes together really nicely to make you feel like you’re staying some place special. The rooms are cozy and offer plenty of space. The breakfast is delicious. The nightly baked goods are a nice, warm touch and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel really stands out compared to others and is the perfect place to stay

What a gem, by far the best place my family and I stayed in during a 2.5 week trip. The location was fantastic - the train station was close enough that even my senior citizen parents easily walked over, yet it was also close to everything we wanted to do in Göteborg as well. The rooms were cozy and quiet. I loved the little touches and decor across the hotel. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff were incredibly knowledgeable and lovely. It really contrasted with chain hotels we stayed at, which felt so transactional compared to our stay at Hotel Royal. I can't wait to come back.
