“Such a value for Sweden and great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I was visiting Gothenburg, I was staying in suburbs and unfortunately, bus service does not run 24 hours coupled with my boyfriend and I planning a romantic night out so we came across Arena Hotel. The hotel itself is located not that far from Central Station as well as by the Ullevi Stadium and the police station so there is definitely a sense of security. The rooms are small, functional and trypically Swedish so if you seek a bigger room, you may want to get the Standard Double Room if you are looking for some elbow room. The bathrooms are very modern and there is free WiFi available as well. What I thought was most helpful is the 24 hour front desk person and the breakfast selection was not bad as it offered variety. For the price, I think Arena Hotel is an absolute hit! Tack så mycket!

Room Tip: Rooms on higher floors have better views!

“Great value.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Great location. Great breakfast and great value so would definitely recommend. The staff were efficient and helpful on check in. The room was massive and the ensuite had a bath in which was awesome :)
The breakfast was a buffett style and great choices, cereals, yoghurt, fruit salad and also some hot things!
We got an amazing deal on this and its very close to the central station.

“Cheap (for Sweden) and Cheerful hotel near the station”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I visited Gothenburg with colleagues for a business meeting and we stayed at the Arena. A little walk (seemed quite a while in the rain) from the central station, but we were greeted by a very friendly lady on reception. Single rooms are small and functional, and breakfast is limited, but for Sweden, which is never cheap, a reasonable option for a quick business visit to Gothenburg.

“Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We stayed here for 2 nights in July as everywhere else during that time was so expensive there was some big football tournment going on. Hotel was clean and had good breakfast. Room was bright and airy but dated. The first night we couldn't get hotel parking as it was full and we should have booked in advance. So if driving be sure to secure a parking space as it was pretty costly at the car park near by. We managed to get a park the following night.

“Great Bargain!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We stayed just for 2 nights and everything was lovely! the room was beautiful and had a wonderful hot-tub, which we enjoyed a lot after 2 days of walking around the city. The bathroom isn't very big, but totally comfortable and full of everything you need. we think that the room has been renewed recently. we were on the 7th floor but the lift stops at 6th.
just to let you know: we had a huge hd tv.
breakfast has a continental buffet, rich of eggs and bacon! not to forget fresh typical swedish milk.
Friendly and nice staff.
please remind yourself that check in is allowed after 3 pm.
