I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Vanilla. The place was incredibly clean, peaceful, and conveniently located just a short walk from the city's main street. The atmosphere was serene, making it perfect for a relaxing trip. The breakfast was diverse and delicious, offering a great start to each day. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit. Highly recommended!

A pleasant medium size hotel with very helpful staff, a comfortable room and great breakfast.
We stayed over a weekend and our room overlooked Kyrkogatan which was noisy (people and commercial vehicles) for our taste.

This is my third stay and every time it has been so comfortable and beautifully light - I love the beds and courtyard for breakfast. The staff are always warm and welcoming. I am a big fan! It’s very walkable to all kinds of cafes, restaurants, shops, and attractions as well.

Good location friendly staff but not ideal
Good location, clean with an average hotel breakfast. However the twin room we had was small and looked nothing like the pictures. There wasn’t much space to navigate round the bottom of the beds. There was building work going on next door which started at 7 in the morning, so check this before you travel. Asked for a different twin room but they didn’t have another one.

Lovely hotel
Lovely, friendly city centre hotel. Perfect location in the middle of Gothenburg - tram stops 2min walk away. It can be a little noisy at night on a Friday and Saturday as you would expect in a city centre , but the windows are double glazed so it was not a problem. A fan was provided, which was great as it was warm during our stay. The cleanliness of the rooms could not be faulted
Breakfast was fresh and good quality.
We loved our stay at this charming hotel and would definitely stay again next time we visit Gothenburg.

Highly recommended - be aware there is no elevator
Located in the heart of Gothenburg, within easy walking distance from the railway station and the main tourist area.
The hotel is nicely decorated and laid out, but be aware that there is no elevator if this is an issue. The room was clean and quite spacious.
The supplied breakfast was more than adequate.
The lady on the front desk on Friday, when we arrived, was incredibly friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations etc, but over the weekend she was replaced with people who were rather disinterested in being there.
Overall we would highly recomend.
