"A wonderful place to stay"

2026-08-22

For the second time in two years, my family and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for a week in August 2026. The Radisson was an ideal location for all of us. Although it’s separated from central Gothenburg by the Göta älv River, a short, free ferry ride from a nearby ferry dock will take you to Stenpiren where you can walk, take trams, or buses to any point in the city itself. There are also bus and tram stops close to the Radisson that provide alternative access the main part of the city. The staff at the hotel were professional and welcoming (we particularly appreciated the help Alma provided at the front desk). The rooms are clean and very quiet, the beds are very comfortable, the showers provide hot water with excellent pressure, and the curtains completely blocked out the light of the summer sun. Our experience last year taught us that the hotel breakfast offerings are amazing, even for members of my family who are vegetarian and gluten-free. Saunas, hot tub, workout room, a rooftop lounge that offers wonderful views of the city, and little touches throughout the hotel that still appeal to science geeks (the lights in the main restaurant form a Newton’s Cradle). This year, we visited the hotel bar where Joshua prepared amazing drinks, including an amazing drink that he invented to satisfy my wife’s tastes. Stay here. You won’t be disappointed.

"Thank you Lorraine.❤️💋🙏"

I recently stayed here with My Husband who is working in Gothenburg. The highlight of my stay was meeting the lovely Lorraine on reception. Every day she would make time to talk with me, give me inspiration to go out and enjoy the city and always with a welcoming smile. She is a joy and a great asset to this company. Also, I’d like to thank Josh for making my birthday special with his kindness and hospitality to me and my friends. Thank you everybody for my lovely stay.Ruth & Chris (TGW).

"Great hotel!"

2026-07-06

Stayed here with my teenager daughter, for the Luke Combs concert playing at the Ullevi. Lovely Hotel, great location just across the river from the city center. Our room was cosy but had everything we needed. We ate in the restaurant not long after arriving, food was delicious. Our waitress was very polite and helpful. The free ferry to the city is a short walk away and takes 6/8mins. We stayed Fri - Sun, and would stay again for another city break.

"Very comfortable and quiet stay with a good night's sleep even in the hot summer"

2026-07-02

I am very satisfied to choose this hotel during a stay in the warm summer days in Gothenburg. The hotel is in a beautiful lication by the water, and the breakfast was of very high quality. The hotel was quiet, could not hear anything from other rooms in my stay, and, best of all, the ventilation system really works so that you can get a full nights sleep. That is not the case in many hotles during summer when temperature goes up to 30+ celsius. The SPA was also really nice, giving extra value for the stay. I also enjoyed the excellent and easy parking in the street outside by the water. This is very nice if you have a good car that does not fit in the parking garage. It is easy to travel to the hotel, since it is not in the most trafic jams streets, but just outside, where you can take the tram or the ferry to go to the very central areas of gothenburg. Therefore this is better than in the problematic and stressfull parking areas of GOthenburg, and parking is relatively cheap.
