I was travelling to Gothenburg for the weekend with a friend and booked this hotel 3 weeks in advance at a good rate. The hotel did not disappoint, it wasn't that great but the price made up for everything. For starters, the hotel looked brand new on the outside and in the reception area but the room was kind of... more

Usually stay at Gothia but got a good rate at Opalen. Asked to change rooms because the one we got was not cleaned well. There were stains on the walls, the bed skirt had lot of stains on it. The bathroom was not great and this was one of the renovated rooms!This is not what we expect from a 3... more

Stayed in the Opalen over new years, found it a great hotel, with very friendly staff, rooms very comfortable and overall a great stay. Breakfast is excellent with a great choice, bar and bartender where great and the missus loved the jacuzzi. One draw back is the location but deffinetly not a problem about a 20minute walk to centre of... more

Paid around £30 a night or 300SEK bed and breakfast. Room was clean and had everything you would need. Breakfast was great and had a large selction from fresh fruit, bread and cooked breakfast. There is also a jacuzzi and sauna. Very good standard for what we paid, would highly recommend, great location also. more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in June. For starters, the location is good. It really depends on whats the exact reason for your visit to Gothenburg. If its shopping you've come for, its not the best place as the main shopping area - Nordstan - is quite a walking distance and needs to be... more

Unfortunately the service at this hotel has been getting worse for each of our visits the last couple of weeks, which is really sad. At our latest (last?) stay, we couldn't find a space to sit down and have our breakfast although the restaurant was almost empty, just because nobody had emptied or cleaned the tables after the previous guests.... more

Stayed at this for one and a halfe mounth while working with the musical "Mamma Mia!" at Scandinavium. They seems to renovait the hotel but I got sort of a old room. It was small but quite nice altough. The location for me was perfect, 5 minutes walk to Scandinavium and not far to shoppingstreets. The room was kept kleen... more

We stayed here for 3 nights on a long weekend in Gothenburg and the hotel was great. I was a little worried about how small the room would be for the 2 of us, as I booked the single room with spare fold-down wall bed (being on a budget). The room was a little cramped with the 2 of us... more

I stayed only one night at the Scandic Opalen. The room was small but well furnished, wireless internet was very efficient so was the staff. The restaurant is very good, I had dinner there and the set menu is very good value for money. Breakfast buffet is great as well with a wide selection of international and local delicacies. more
