The Hotel Lilton is not a full-service hotel, but neither does it command full-service hotel prices. If you can keep this fact in mind, you will enjoy this hotel.

I chose the Lilton because it was ideally located for me, just around the corner from the University buildings where my conference was held.

I wanted to check in after 4 p.m. on a Sunday, and they were able to accommodate me, but I had to do so on my own by entering a code into the front door and then again on a box in the front hall where my key was enclosed in an envelope. Upon arriving, I found that my room and bath were both fairly spartan. For example, I had to remove the liquid soap dispenser from the wall next to the sink to take it into the small shower with me, which was definitely awkward. Although I paid extra for a little more space in a double (as opposed to a claustrophobic single), I was still only given one bath towel.

The breakfast choices were reasonably good (soft-boiled eggs, different breads, ham, shrimp sauce, granola, nutella, and jams) and the sunny breakfast room was very pleasant. The breakfast room was the only space I found to relax in the hotel outside of my room as there was essentially no lobby; the check-in desk fronted a hallway. Theoretically my room had access to wireless internet but I could never make it work. I was able to leave my luggage with the hotel personnel after checkout on my last day as long as I could pick it up before 8 p.m.

I made the Lilton work for me, but this small hotel simply couldn't provide the level of service that I've been lucky enough to experience in even B&Bs that have very motivated management. Again, I found I had to temper my expectations based on the reasonable price that I had paid.

The Lilton is a wonderful, quiet, personal hotel in a residential part of Gothenburg. The staff attended to our every need. Our room was more than we expected and breakfasts were superb. There is a bus stop nearby and walking into the main part of town takes about 15 minutes. We will go back again.

We arrived late in the day to a mad flurry of traffic...loads of cars and trams and one-way-streets. After checking out the downtown offerings, we followed a Rough Guide Book recommendation and called the Lilton...they had a room and are located in a comfortable area of town. We checked in around 8:30 p.m. tired and hungry. The manager served us wonderful soup and bread, both comforting and delicious.
We crashed in a nice, quiet room. The manager made a special effort to ensure we were well cared for. It's a no-fuss hotel, and very accommodating. We were able to easily walk down to the old town to see the sights. A great place.

A fantastic small and friendly hotel in a quiet and trendy part of Goteborg.

The rooms were very Swedish in style and the breakfast was lovely.

Informal atmosphere and very relaxed.

Definitely recommend it.
