Avalon Hotel

Avalon Hotel Goteborg offers one of the most exciting and pleasant experiences you could ever have. First of all, if you are an Art & Design lover, the hotel is a refined homage to contemporary art and creativity. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and elegant. The reception staff are exceptionally professional—helpful, smiling, and genuinely eager to assist. It was a true pleasure to speak with each of them. I’m sorry I don’t know all their names, but I extend heartfelt thanks to everyone. Breakfast is delicious, with high-quality ingredients and products and I highly recommend the wonderful Kusmi tea—perfect for a rainy morning in Goteborg. Special thanks to all the staff, and to Markus at the bar for the care with which he welcomes guests. Thanks also to the restaurant team, who were consistently kind and attentive. The cleaning staff are professional, friendly, and impressively efficient. The cleanliness goes beyond spotless. All the staff—from reception to breakfast, restaurant, bar, and cleaning—were truly wonderful. Everyone made us feel special and warmly welcomed. They turned Avalon Hotel into a Home for us. |The room is elegantly decorated and thoughtfully furnished. The hotel is perfectly located in the city center, close to public transport, shops, and restaurants. At Avalon Hotel, you have the unique chance not merely to stay—but to dwell within a living art gallery, to experience high-quality contemporary works, and to be indulged by the harmony of a perfectly balanced Feng Shui atmosphere.

We loved our stay at Avalon Hotel. The location is an easy 10-minute walk from the train station. (We are in our 60s and each had a suitcase.) The members of the staff are extremely helpful and make sure you have a pleasant stay. Our room was large and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was plentiful. The entire hotel is very clean. We enjoyed the terrace on the 8th floor. We would definitely stay here again!

This was the best hotel of my entire Scandinavia trip. Highly recommend and would definitely recommend. The location is outstanding - very central and the excellent food hall is right next door. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding. I was also just so impressed with the attention to detail of the staff. I saw them monitoring, cleaning, and doing things that I'm sure no other hotel staff would even think to do.

Very good stay with an excellent location and very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and very nice terrace. As others have said, the rooms are starting to feel a bit dated and breakfast starting at 8 during the week feels a little late. And yes there is no air conditioning but I requested a fan before i checked in and they were able to accommodate that request. I’m grateful for the fan as I’d imagine sleeping with the window open would be quite noisy.

Excellent city centre hotel ideal for exploring Gothenburg. Staff, décor, rooms, food all excellent, we will definitely return. Top tip, when visiting Sweden they are just about a cashless country, so take two credit cards just in case one doesn't work as all transactions are tap and pay.

Avalon Hotel Wow — what a fantastic location, and genuinely friendly staff who go out of their way to help. The sustainability concept is excellent. The rooms follow a Scandinavian design language but feel a little dated. Continental-style Swedish breakfast, which we thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, a very, very good experience. Would book ourselves in again.

My husband and I spent a wonderful wedding anniversary weekend at the Hotel Avalon. There was a warm welcome from the lovely staff, a gorgeous bedroom with a jacuzzi bath, a super snuggly bed, all topped off with the beautiful rooftop pool. |We would recommend this hotel to anyone - it's really central so easy to walk everywhere in Gothenburg, it's right opposite the fantastic food hall and there's a great bar on the ground floor. The perfect place to stay in Gothenburg!

Christmas Eve. We arrived very late at the hotel, but check in had already been done by my brother earlier in the day, so it was just to walk in, take the elevator, open room. Nice, no frills room with a very comfortable king sized (I think) bed. Pillows, covers and sheets were superb -- 5 stars. We slept very well. Bathroom had an interesting solution: if you happened not to close the 2 doors while on/in the toilet and someone knocked on the room door... Hahaa... well... the world is an oyster. The husband in the bathroom, the family at the door, I'm in between. 10 stars forever! Breakfast was great. Anything you'd expect from a luxury breakfast was presented: fresh scramble eggs, meats, pancakes, fruit, cold cuts, cheeses, GF, breads, etc. And the pièce de résistance was seeing my friend Alexander Klingspor's beautiful paintings in the dining room and lobby. Very nice stay.

We booked a room here, last minute. The reservation process was flawless and we were given a fair price as members of Nordic Club. Check in took minutes and we were given a lovely room with free early check in. Views were great and the windows opened. The vibe is super hip and fun. Oddly, the elevator and halls smelled musty and not good. Breakfast buffet did not rival Clarion Post, where we stayed previously but it was a lovely buffet. Marcus went the extra mile to insure our stay was great. Super location. Super quiet night's sleep in room 44.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. If you're from the US, it has a vibe similar to a Kimpton property. Hip, but not hipster. Clean. Fun. Decent food, and good bar. Pleasant helpful staff. Convenient walking distance to a lot of dining and shopping. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Gothenburg.

I keep returning to this place every time I am in Gothenburg. I love the atmosphere at the hotel - it feels like a luxury hotel anywhere in the world, yet with a very personal service and touch. I have tried many dishes and they use mostly local groceries and never disappoints me with the quality. One time I've had the best chicken I have eaten, and I think it was from a small farm nearby. It is hard to find good chicken these days but they manage to. I've also had dry aged veal filet that was amazing. Perfectly cooked salmon. The list can go on and on. The staff is always amazing, super service minded and always knows where the meat is from. This is a great place for couples and business people. Not boozy groups.

Good service! The shrimp sandwich was more than OK, but not super! The cod filé was high standard! Friendly and nice atmosphere! Price/quality is almost right!

This review is for the hotel. I stayed here for 2 nights this autumn and I really loved the experience. Its in a beautiful location of Gothenburg and the decor of the hotel is really colourful and quirky. I loved the seated area in the lobby beside the modern style fire, it was really cosy and a really nice spot to sit and do a light bit of work in. There breakfast buffet is lovely. Full continental style which was included in our room price. My room was great, large open plan room, with a bath tub in the centre of it. Rainfall style shower was superb. The bed was very comfortable, loved the choice of 3 pillows, hard to really soft. There is complimentary bottled water and a chocolate waiting for you in your room which always wins my heart over. My only criticism of the room is the lack of privacy you have in the bathroom. The door does not go the entire way, so your a bit exposed and can hear everything :-/ Not exactly romantic haha. I defiantly recommend this to be changed, so I have taken 1 star away.

I have only been to Avalon for their downstairs bar area to get drinks... I have to say that its pretty good for a hotel bar in Gothenburg. It has a trendy vibe and the bar is surrounded by couches, in which you can sit and relax with your friends while sipping on a much needed drink. Shopping is just around the corner day time, and clubs and bars are just a few feet away at night... Thumbs up!

When I first visited Gothenburg we stayed at Avalon. It's right downtown next to Saluhallen at Kungssportsplats and is a well known hotel here in town. They have a top floor pool that hangs out over the roof (with a clear glass bottom), and have a nice bar/restaurant on the first floor. In the summer they open their patio area and it's a very popular place for those people that want to be seen. As far as the hotel goes, it's top notch. They were always extremely helpful, going out of their way any chance they could assist us - from bringing extra towels to bringing us a glass of milk. The rooms are a bit small, but acceptable, and include all the amenities one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The beds were awesome, the rooms have snacks and a small bar, a fridge, safe, closet and a wet room bathroom. I did find the square toilet a bit weird, but I guess it has something to do with the hotel being designed entirely fung-shui. They have flat panel TV's and English language channels available. If you say there you get breakfast for free, which is totally worth it - it's an amazing spred! Even if you don't stay there, if you're in town go check out the hotel. It's pretty cool just look at from the outside, and it's next to Saluhallen, which is another place you need to check out too. I'd totally stay here again, and I'd recommend it to any friends I had who might come to visit.

Ok this hotel was too cool. All kinds of art that was pleasant, but tiny rooms, a pool that is totally awesome but closes at 6 because the people in the suite have private access at 6. I don't remember the breakfast. My suggestion, don't worry about the place unless you get the suite or you're a design obsessed idiot. If I was going to party like a rockstar in Göteborg, I'd want that suite. You can look down on the street through the glass in the bottom of the pool.

Great hotel although not cheap. Nice decor, great staff, spotlessly clean. Standard room has free wifi, minibar, safe, hairdryer, iron and board, sparkling water, tv, dvd player, walk in wet room with great shower. Breakfast is included in room rate and is superb! Endless choice of buffet food which is very fresh and always topped up. Anything from fresh fruit to cereal, sausage, bacon, swedish meatballs! fancy teas, coffee, breads, croissants. Breakfast will not disappoint! Cant really fault this place apart from tv's could be doing with being replaced and a bar/restaurant price list could be placed in room but these are very minor points and would certainly not put me off staying here again.
