Avalon Hotel

Toin mieheni tänne pitkäksi viikonlopuksi ja täällä oli upeaa. Meillä oli perushuone, joka oli kauniisti sisustettu boutique-tyyliin. Huoneessa oli lisämukavuuksia, kuten kylpytakit, tohvelit, Bulgarin saippua sekä mineraalivettä ja suklaata talon puolesta. Hotellista ei puutu mitään, hintaan kuuluu myös langaton internetyhteys. Aamiainen kuului meillä huoneen hintaan ja se oli upea: kaikkea mahdollista ruotsalaisista lihapullista makkaraan, leivonnaisiin ja tuoreisiin hedelmiin. Söimme runsaan aamiaisen, sillä Göteborg on suhteellisen kallis kaupunki syödä ulkona. Hotellin keskeinen sijainti on ihanteellinen, kävelymatkan päässä ostosmahdollisuuksista ja ruoka- ja juomapaikoista. Myös bussi- tai junalipun voi ostaa, niillä pääsee kauemmaksikin, noin kymmenellä eurolla per päivä.

We were very pleased with our stay. The price was moderate for the standard. Breakfast, room, staff, cleaning and location was excellent. Will stay here again for sure since it’s now our favorite hotel in Gothenburg

This hotel is across the street from one of the Flybusssen (airport bus) stops. Buy a roundtrip ticket at a kiosk in the airport for the Flybussen (or you can buy on board), and then you get off at the second stop in the city centre (third or fourth stop overall). It takes a bit over 20 minutes. You can buy your one-day transport ticket (about 8 euro, also works on the ferries to get the islands right outside Gothenburg) in the little convenience store next to the tourist information office, then cross the busy road into the pedestrian road with the statue of the child next to a small mythical creature that looks similar to Neverending Story, and you are at the Avalon! It apparently has a fantastic pool, but I was there in winter so can't comment on that. The breakfast includes salmon, pancakes, fresh breads and jams, eggs, cheese and meat options--the typical generous Scandinavia spread. You are walking distance to many different tram lines and in the centre of a bustling shopping area. The namaste vibe is interesting--my hallway had a bunch of paintings of naked women and random animal photos, but it's definitely a modern vibe. The staff was quite friendly and helpful, and overall I found this hotel to be great value for the money!

We had a large spacious room overlooking the Sulahall Market! (food) (With a tame full grown horse lamp on the balcony!!) A wonderful aspect over the City and no noise sneaking in through the floor to ceiling double glazed windows. Access to balcony and a table for breakfast in sunny weather! Excellent bathroom with enormous (say 2M+ wide) well sprung mattress with additional 40mm soft cover. Separate duvets! Comfortable seating areas with artificial stretched open gas fire and a nearby bar delivering ambience and 'fika' possibilities! Sweden is warm and welcoming everywhere! Pedestrians get priority it seems in Gotenborg.

Stayed here for a couple of days in December. Location is perfect, the hotel feels new and sparkly. The room wasn’t quite as edgy looking as the pics on their website, but it was decent sized and had everything we needed. Good breakfast. For 2 days it was perfect.
