Hotels near Frihamnen Gothenburg, Gothenburg

The hotel is located right near the main shopping area and close to many interesting sites. Public transportation is a few minutes away as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was nice. The breakfast was good and there is a waffle bar available in the evenings. The street is very busy and loud so if you want some quiet you have to close the window (if you're on the street side) but once the window is closed the room is silent. Very good value for the money, I definitely recommend it.

Cozy hotel with friendly personnel, and an okay single room. It wasn’t large, but it was clean. More than good enough for the two nights I stayed there. But it was in need of maintenance though: the doors and such were quite badly damaged. I’ve added breakfast to my booking, and this was really good! Lots to choose from, and delicious. One complaint: the rooms facing the street are not soundproofed enough in my opinion, too much of the noise of the quite busy road outside came in😕 Would stay again though, and I heard the double rooms are less noisy as these don’t face the street.

This hotel is also our favorite hotel, right on the pier, can eat breakfast to see the sea, very comfortable. Breakfast is also a typical Swedish breakfast, I like it anyway. The room is small, compared to other hotels. I think the extra bed is allowed, parking is very convenient. There is only one question I need to remind everyone, if English and Swedish are not very good, I do not recommend this hotel. Our plane arrived at Gothenburg Airport at eleven o'clock in the evening and arrived at the hotel is already twelve o'clock. The hotel did not have a reception desk, the door was closed, we were lucky, just one of the guests came back, we went into the door together. Then you see the hotel in Swedish message saying that after 11pm, you check in to call the hotel, pay attention to the Swedish phone number. Respond to you saying that your room key is in a box at the front desk, then you open the door with your own key to sleep. Very European-style hotel management, most of the in-house guests are foreigners. It is recommended that guests booking this hotel should check in during the day.

Transportation: We arrived in Gothenburg by train. The hotel is about 3 kilometers away from the train station. You need to take tram No. 2 or No. 4 to get there (note that the directions of No. 2 and No. 4 from the train station to the hotel are in opposite directions). ). Taking a taxi with Uber costs between 100-200kr. If there are 3-4 people traveling, the price is similar to that of public transportation. A single bus ticket here is 36kr. Uber prices change at any time, so the range is a bit wide. Room: We booked a family room that can accommodate up to 5 people. It was considered a small suite. The big bed was separate from the other three beds, and there was a bathroom in between. The room is very clean. There is enough space. Breakfast: There are many varieties, which is quite rich, but there is no salmon in terms of meat. All kinds of sausages and hams. Vegetables were few, just cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce. This hotel is next to a paradise, just like domestic paradise hotels. If it is weekends and holidays, there will be many families with children staying. It will be a bit noisy at night and breakfast will be crowded. Overall satisfied.

We stayed at Jacy’z from the 22/6-26/6. We arrived to the hotel and went to the 17th floor where we were staying at JQ, and was lucky to get our room 2 hours earlier. But.. the room wasn’t quite “ready” when we got it. There was missing a robe, and there was dust visible on the floor.. We payed extra to upgrade our room to a medium room at JQ, because we thought it would be more luxurious.. The room was nice, but we only got our bed done 1 time at our whole stay??? The one time fixing our bed, they didn’t even take our trash out or clean the rest of the hotel room nor our bathroom..? We also got a drink at their JQ lounge. The surroundings were very cozy and nice, but the 3 employees/bartenders were hanging in the seats at the bar, and making fun with each other/laughing and whispering as if they were talking about us guests… very unprofessional. On Sunday the 23/6 we booked an afternoon spa session at Pachanga Pool Club (from 16-19), and it was NOT worth the money. Again, the surroundings were nice, but there was toooo many people. Because of the many people, there wasn’t a seat for everyone and the pools were crowded. We were very sad that we spend our anniversary there… We also tried their restaurant Gogogaga at the 26th floor, where we got the Korean Bbq style dinner, and it was very good. We also got breakfast every morning at Archie’s which had many options. To sum up, the surroundings at Jacyz and the food was very good, but everything else didn’t meet with our expectations. We’re sad we spend our money on this hotel, when we could get the same experience at a cheaper.

The room was clean and had an iron, kettle and fridge. The “double” bed upstairs was two single beds shoved together. Not worth paying for a third person as it was a sofa bed- which pulled out extremely low down so they basically slept on the floor. They also had a very hard section so was not very comfy. It cost us an extra 85 pounds for this- which was not worth it! Overall, it was a good stay as there is a swimming pool (limited opening hours though), they let you leave your bags at reception and the views are greta

The room has just been renovated for a year, the facilities are perfect, the room on the 12th floor has a good view. The hotel lobby is great in design, with a lot of space and a lot of sofas. The breakfast was particularly rich.

At first, I was unsure as to why this hotel was four rather than three stars. There are several amenities lacking that I would expect in a four star hotel. For example. There is no safe in our room, no fridge, no proper bar (drinks are in bottles/ cans) and the gym is in another building from what I can tell. But, the breakfast is truly wonderful! I had so much choice in the dedicated lactose and gluten free area, and the staff remembered I don’t eat gluten and offered me pancakes without me having to ask! All the staff are so helpful and friendly, you really do forgive some of the other aspects. But our room was absolutely tiny. There is a luggage stand, but not enough space to open it up! We rearranged the room (put the table in the clothing rail space) to even have enough space to have one suitcase open, we had to keep the other done up and upright. There was no where to really unpack, and there were just three hangers on the rail. But, the room was clean and the hotel is well located to get into town quickly and easily, so again, we could forgive this when just using the space as a base for exploring. The shower looked like it would break if we moved it, so didn’t adjust the height which was a bit annoying, and the water floods out into the bathroom if used on full power. So we didn’t, as no floor towel/ bath mat is provided. There is an ironing room on the third floor, but no water is provided to use the steam, and I read in a response to a review that you could request a fridge from reception if you wanted one in your room. No one told us this and I couldn’t find this information on the website, so would be good to make this clearer to guests. No idea where we would put it as again space is so tight, but we would probably have made use of it if we had been able to. You do have to book a slot for breakfast which isn’t ideal, but no one is policing it; just used as a means to stagger breakfast times so everyone gets a table. Also have to book room cleaning, but this didn’t bother us as we don’t need a clean every day and are happy with the hotels energy saving measures (which is why the fridges aren’t available as default) so support their reasons for doing all of these things! The hotel overlooks the train tracks, and you do hear the odd train, but doesn’t really disturb you at all. The problem is the noise from inside the hotel. There were some very noisy guests on Saturday night, we could hear them talking and running and even mobile phones vibrating all through the night. This really does disturb your sleep, and I have seen other reviews that mention this. Overall, a nice stay that provided everything that we needed. If we were returning to Gothenburg, we would stay here again, but would probably check out the availability on other options first.

Very nice hotel in the middle of the center. Cozy restaurant and bar, good breakfast, nice staff and nice room. On the negative side there was no available parking for us in the hotel garage. I sent a mail 2 days infront, trying to reserve s parking place. Had to park at «Heden» a few blocks away. Really expensive hour based parking, and I’m used to Oslo prices. The bar prices was on the steep side in this hotel. For example a glass of redwine on the roof bar was 135 kr. In my eyes, way too much. No Aircon in the room, it was hot. There was a small fan in the room, it was better then nothing. All in all the hotel is good. Had stayed again if the price was ok.

We stayed in Pigalle Hotel Gothenburg for 2 nights The location of the hotel is very central and super close to the central station of Gothenburg ( about3 minutes walk), it is also close to tons of restaurants, cafes and a big shopping mall where you will find everything The reception when we first entered the Hotel did not meet our expectations, it was not that warm welcome and for a moment felt almost like self service, I thought it was bizarre for a 5 stars hotel to have average reception for their guests. Decoration of the hallway, the bar at ground floor, the entrance and even the stairs was surprisingly very vintage, romantic and outstanding design, overall it was charming and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Even the room design, the wall paper and the bathroom were all of the same theme (vintage & romantic and it quite warm feeling) The bed was super comfy, we slept very well like bears so if you wanna have a great sleep they got the beds and pillows for it. Also the breakfast every morning was nothing short of delicious and the taste of everything was great and you can feel that they only use fresh & high quality ingredients, the methods of the cooking and preparations were very 5 stars indeed, and the service of the staff as well, they were very friendly and professional. Nevertheless the room we stayed at did not match the pictures on the hotel web page, it was not very spacious neither was the bathroom, and next to the bed both nightstands had stains on them, we were also not pleased with the cleanliness of the room nor the bathroom as there were so much chalky limescale deposits all over the bathroom floor. The closet in our room was sort of broken and need reparation as it was quite warn out, also it had very small space to hang our clothes and even less space for stuff because it had only 2 small shelves. No free coffee, nor tea and not even water in the room, quite disappointing for a 5 stars hotel, I honestly was upset as there were no trash cans in the room, there were just one in the bathroom and you need to walk there every time you had trash to throw. Also although we were couple, we only got 1 welcome package and even that was very basic. In Summary: The Hotel have a charming, vintage aesthetic and an unbeatable central location. However, the room quality fell short of expectations for a 5-star establishment, with cleanliness issues and a lack of amenities. The delicious breakfast and exceptional service of the staff helped redeem the experience.
