Loved this location. Close to the city and amusement park. Walked everywhere. Great breakfast on the weekends, less great on weekdays, just not as abundant. The room was so great and comfortable, there was some mold in the bathroom ceiling that could have been wiped down, but totally understandable in an older hotel.

Excellent and tasty spread for breakfast, which caters for everyone. Our room superior twin with the full length windows had a incredible view over the city. If you suffer from vertigo though, you may feel a bit uneasy, but you will be fine as long as you don't go right up to the windows and for me worth It for that view. The room was actually a really good sizewith a large bathroom and easily accommodates 4 using the fold out double couch. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of restaurants nearby and all well priced if I consider against UK prices. Hotel is near 2 tram stops which means you can get everywhere easily and tbh if you prefer walking, is also within walking distance of most places and attractions. Have to add if you are visit for the Gothia cup the location. Is central with no venue more than 30 min away and a wlaj away from stadiums and main area Also getting to and from the airport I would recommend.bookng a taxi or getting a ln Uber if you are 3 or more persons. Overall really enjoyed out trip and stay at this hotel and would recommend this hotel.

Review of Scandic Opalen
Typical Nordic style. Simple but with all the essentials you need for a comfortable stay. Clean. Fast and reliable WIFI. Delicious breakfast with many choices. Convenient location, Tram stop is about 50 m away. Coop supermarket just next to the hotel. There are many restaurants in the neighbourhood too. If you are taking the airport bus in, drop off at Berzeliigatan rather than Korsvagen. Saves you walking100 m and the pavement is easier to drag the luggage along.

Super convenient location with tram stop within 5 mins walk, giving very easy access for exploring Gothenburg. Whilst not extravagant, rooms are clean and more than adequate. What we enjoyed most about the hotel is the buffet breakfast - plenty on offer, with a really good selection for both hot and cold options. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness in our room and around the property. We chose to spend very little time in the room, so that was helpful. For those not familiar with the area, the hotel is not located in an area I would chose unless I needed to go to the stadium.
