Scandic Backadal
Staff spoke excellent English. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Room was a pain to access with the card as it seemed to be very temperamental. Parking was fine, as a larger van we had to park in the outdoor car park, but our room key opened gate. Pool was nice if not a little cold.

The entrance & lifts looks dirty and dated, but the hotel rooms/reception are acutely 3star standard. Microwave in my room and plenty of food shops and restaurants provide food options.

Clarion Hotel Post, Gothenburg
Clean room with comfortable bedding and daylight. Staff was very polite and helpful. Breakfast has a broad selection, and even has larger cups for tea which is a huge plus for me. Location is perfect - close to city centre and train station.
