This is a perfect characteful retreat quite near the center of Gothenburg. I was warmly welcomed despite and early arrival and my bags cheerfully stored while I went to explore. It is an older family-owned place, which makes it warm and comfy, but not terribly trendy or boutiquish. I had a single room on an upper floor, which was extremely... More

My wife and I were in Scandinavia in late August. Our stop in Gothenburg was memorable for several reasons, one of which was our pleasant stay at Hotel Poseidon. The location is ideal -- a 12-15 minute walk to anywhere, or so they say. Seriously, it's a short walk to major restaurants, sightseeing and shopping and the buildings along the... More

Cheap basic food and beer at the reception area. The breakfast was traditional swedish buffet with swedish meatballs and scrambeled eggs, in addition to a wide range of jams, cheese and... More

A good 3 star hotel that delivers just what it promises to. Beds comfortable, bathroom a little cosy but acceptable, and we found it all very peaceful even though we overlooked the street. Staff were smiling, helpful and professional. Breakfast was standard fare and enjoyable all for that. If there are two of you travelling from the airport it is... More

The Poseidon Hotel is in a rather good location - you have to walk quite a bit to the seafront, but a lot of worthwhile sightseeing is very close. Obviously, the hotel is already a couple of years old and our room showed a certain need for renovation in *some* areas - in other areas, it was up-to-date and/or renovated:... More

Hotel Poseidon is located perfectly, not on a busy street so you have to endure a lot of noise at night, but still only a 1-2 minute walk from Kungsportsavenyn and about 15 minutes from Liseberg. The staff was very welcoming, the room was fine and was offered at a reasonable price. The breakfast buffet was good and had a... More

We stayed here 2 nights in late May. The location of the Poseidon is great, just a few blocks from Kungsportsavenyn, which has shopping, restaurants and lots of trams to other parts of the city. Our room was spacious, though a little dated. The beds were very soft. We had big windows for lots of light in the room. The... More
