Slottsskogen Hotel

Quick summary: very clean, quiet, well-maintained rooms and common areas. Excellent on-site staff - professional, friendly, and very helpful. Location is great in an attractive residential area near tram and bus stops, and many shops and cafes. Quick trip into central part of town. Very good buffet breakfast. Private rooms with shared bathrooms are spread out between two buildings. The property now also has a few rooms with private baths and an apartment. I base my review of what I expect of a well-run hostel, not a luxury hotel, but the staff could not be better at a 5-star place. Note: I am not the usual hostel visitor, so please know that this is a very nice, quiet, clean, comfortable place. If I can be comfortable here, you can be comfortable here. We returned here with a group of college students after a few years' absence from COVID restrictions. In the interim, the owners made the place even better with a few upgrades and renovations. The rooms are varied in their size and number of beds, with mostly 2-4 beds in a room. No huge rooms with people you don't know. Each room has many useful amenities. From my past experiences, each room has: Clean, fresh, comfortable beds, pillows, duvets with nice bed linens Excellent individual bedside lights -- THANK YOU!! (I can't tell you how many 5-star hotels I've been to that have lousy bedside lighting.) Good towels for small surcharge Open-side closet with sturdy hangers, some shelving, and a small toiletry shelf Full-length mirror Desk (with three small drawers) , chair, good desk lamp Lots of wall hooks for coats, robes, etc. TV with a few stations, both in Swedish and other languages, primarily English, with Swedish subtitles Blackout curtains work well Umbrella to borrow (or buy for an attractive souvenir) As mentioned, the owners have been hard at work with renovations and added amenities in some rooms since last we visited. I think my room, #527, is now positioned as a more deluxe room than standard. Compared with past visits, this room has: NEW - mini refrigerator and microwave Hair dryer The bathrooms have cubicles for toilet and shower that can be locked. There are additional sinks in communal areas. Additional toilets are here and there around the properties. Other public rooms include a well-appointed kitchen in each of the two main buildings, including multiple refrigerators; comfortable lounges; good breakfast area with an outside terrace in nice weather. Excellent housekeeping throughout. They've freshened the decor since we first came here many years ago with creative touches in the hallways and artwork that evoke northern woods with birch trees. Okay, I also love the cluster of midcentury lighting fixtures in the lobby area of the annex building. Both buildings have a nice rack of travel brochures. This is an excellent neighborhood for visiting Goteborg. The trams (nearest: Olivedalsgatan), bus lines, grocery stor

I found this review difficult as some things were excellent but some things were not. I ended up giving just an average score overall relative to the price. The staff and some bathroom facilities were excellent! I want to make sure staff are congratulated as they were great. The location was good and kitchen ok. Beds were ok and storage in rooms very good. Communal areas nice and security good. Unfortunately there were things that were mediocre or below. My room had windows facing the recycling bins so was often woken up by people depositing bottles etc. The bathrooms closest to my room were not great. They didn’t have any hooks so had no where to hang things when having a shower and were quite smelly. Fridges were also smelly. The smelliness influenced my overall score.

I spent two nights at this hostel, while exploring Göteborgs Kulturkalas. The staff at the hostel were lovely. I had a nice, bright and clean room. Slept very well. Nice mattress and bedlinen and the curtains shut out all street light. Enjoyed the plentiful breakfast. Visited the sauna too, which was lovely. Did not use the common room, but seems like a lot of people did. The location was great. Quiet street and close to a busstop, cafés, a church and the big park Slottskogen, a supermarket and a pharmacy. It was easy going to the city centre with the Västtrafik busses (I downloaded the Västtrafik app to get tickets). There were also rental scooters from Voi outside, which can also be used through a Voi app. There are other scooter brands and apps.

The hours indicated on the cards do not correspond to the actual time for breakfast The hotel consists of 2 separate buildings, the breakfast is served only in one of the building I Recommend to use any apps for directions rather than asking the staff Uncomfortable bed Uncomfortable dirty and smelly pillow in room 536 Untidy toilet room in the main building Sauna smelled defecation

Super easy stay! I was backpacking around Sweden and Denmark with 2 friends and we stayed one night here in Gothenburg. We had a whole room (4 beds) to the 3 of us so there was plenty of space and even had a TV in the room to watch some Swedish TV. I'm specifically writing this review to say thanks to the super helpful hostel staff who shipped me my apple watch that I forgot in the room overseas to Chicago. I was worried that I'd never get it back because you know how things can go when you're backpacking around hostels but the staff was honest, nice and helpful in sending it back to me! Specifically, Linda, who I was exchanging info over email with trying to get the watch back. I couldn't be more grateful and satisfied with my stay here, 5/5 stars. Felt like it was easy to get all over the city from there and there was even a park a short walk away that had a really cool free-to-enter zoo inside that had a bunch of animals native to the area. Thank you so much to the people who work here, again!
