Scandic Rubinen

Scandic Rubinen is a mainstream chain hotel on Kungsportsavenyen, the main avenue running through central Gothenburg. It's listed as gay-friendly, not as a gay venue. Expect the standard Scandic setup: modern rooms, a breakfast buffet and a business-traveller crowd during the week. More than 3,000 Google reviews give it an average of 4.0. The location is the main reason to stay here. Avenyn's restaurants, bars and the Götaplatsen museums are right outside, and the canal and Nordstan are a short walk down the avenue. Rooms facing the street can be noisy on weekend nights.
