Welcoming Oasis
The staff was very welcoming, kind, and helpful. This is a small, beautiful space with art throughout. We enjoyed a drink in the coolness of the courtyard. Breakfast was lovely. We felt safe and secure. It seemed like a tasteful example of Göteborg hospitality.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Vanilla. The place was incredibly clean, peaceful, and conveniently located just a short walk from the city's main street. The atmosphere was serene, making it perfect for a relaxing trip. The breakfast was diverse and delicious, offering a great start to each day. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit. Highly recommended!

A pleasant medium size hotel with very helpful staff, a comfortable room and great breakfast.
We stayed over a weekend and our room overlooked Kyrkogatan which was noisy (people and commercial vehicles) for our taste.

Good location friendly staff but not ideal
Good location, clean with an average hotel breakfast. However the twin room we had was small and looked nothing like the pictures. There wasn’t much space to navigate round the bottom of the beds. There was building work going on next door which started at 7 in the morning, so check this before you travel. Asked for a different twin room but they didn’t have another one.

Highly recommended - be aware there is no elevator
Located in the heart of Gothenburg, within easy walking distance from the railway station and the main tourist area.
The hotel is nicely decorated and laid out, but be aware that there is no elevator if this is an issue. The room was clean and quite spacious.
The supplied breakfast was more than adequate.
The lady on the front desk on Friday, when we arrived, was incredibly friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations etc, but over the weekend she was replaced with people who were rather disinterested in being there.
Overall we would highly recomend.

Fantastiskt boende mitt i city
Det perfekta boendet i centrala Göteborg! Mysigt och familjärt med sköna sängar och fräscha rum. Mitt i smeten, men lugnt och tyst. Rekommenderas varmt!

Litet trevligt hotell mycket centralt i Göteborg ; vid domkyrkan.
Rent och fint, nyrenoverat. Lugnt och stilla trots det centrala läget.
Utmärkt frukost.
