Location: the hotel is conveniently located close to both the city center, train and bus stations. You reach all three within five minutes if you walk. The hotel is situated next to Motala Ström and the rooms facing this direction have very pleasant views.

Check-in: efficient and friendly.

Room: we got a deluxe corner room on the 5th floor which had excellent views towards Motala Ström. The room was average sized and had modern furnishings. The bathroom looked dated and the sink had very little room for a glass for the toothbrush etc. The room had windows facing two directions and we kept them open as the rooms had no air conditioning (it's rarely hot in Sweden but it was hot and the room was too hot to be comfortable). The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

Breakfast: I'm used to British hotel breakfasts and was fairly disappointed in the breakfast on offer. There was a large selection of cold cuts, several kinds of bread and rolls but there was no hot offerings at all (no bacon, susages or similar). There were plenty of available tables in The Bishop's Arms pub.

Overall: the location is excellent and the summer offer for the deluxe room is good value for money. If you drive then it's generally cheaper to pay for street parking than to pay SEK 95 for the hotel parking (at a nearby parking garage).

Its fine- great beds-nice location but lacks the finish of elite in gothenburg- the bishops arms is the only place in the sun-not the best but ok

The good: Nice restaurant/pub.
The bad: We got a room that was like a sauna when we entered it and we turned on the "aircon" device to full blast, but it was a weak and old one incapable of helping out. We opened the windows, but they opened to a covered inner courtyard that was even hotter. The staff just said "sorry, but we have no aircon", which is something the hotel's website conveniently omits. In fact, the website doesn't give room details at all. In the end we lay on the beds covered in sweat with a cranky child in the extra bed (for which they ofcourse remember to charge). Just about the worst night of my 1000+ nights in hotels.

As to the high quality claimed by the hotel, it is nice quality if compared to some hotels in the UK (this being clearly modelled in the "antique chic" style popular in UK hotels), but aging and slightly decrepit (even aside from the lack of aircon) by any nordic standard.

In the interest of fairness I must say that the rooms are probably very warm and cozy in the winter, just avoid this hotel like the plague during summetime.

I stayed here for a couple of nights while attending a workshop at the University. I think the hotel looks good, its big and kind of elegant with its old time style... but when you look closer to details, it is not so charming.... my room was more "old" than "antique"... the furniture was a little bit too used, and the bed was not very comfortable, old, with very soft mattress. The bedroom was very small, and it had a small old TV. The blinds not so good so I was wide awake with plenty of daylight in the room, right since sun came up... and this can be very early depending the season... The bathroom was also small, very small. Breakfast was OK, but I am not too much of a breakfast person though... I guess I would have been a little dissapointed if I was.
All was clean and neat.
Service was friendly.
Location was nice.
Since it was work, I did not pay myself so it is difficult to decide weather to recommend it or not... I guess there should be better choices.
