Value

Hotel Scandic Rubinen is located on Avenyn in central Gothenburg, a stone's throw from the famous bronze sculpture of Poseidon at Gotaplatsen and Kungsportsplatsen.

Scandic Rubinen's central location in Gothenburg makes the hotel an ideal place for those who want to be close to Gothenburg's culture, shopping and city life. From our hotel you're also within a walking distance from many of Gothenburg's most popular attractions such as Liseberg amusement park, Universeum Science Centre and the Rohsska Museum. After expansion and renovation in spring 2014, Rubinen has a new design by DOOS architects. The interior has an urban feel and a homely elegance with a mix of colours, shape and details.

Facility

Our hotel is a natural meeting place in Gothenburg and we offer something to suit all tastes. Ruby Bar is Scandic Rubinen's very own living room and is open day and night. Both hotel guests and Gothenburg locals dine here, and our bar terrace is a great place to sit and watch the city entertainment. Our very own Roof Top bar is located on the 7th floor, with views over the rooftops of Gothenburg and fashionable Avenyn. When you stay with us, you can keep up your workouts in our gym or unwind in our relaxation suite with sauna. Our completely new conference and events floor offers facilities for 2-180 people, and events can be customised for up to 300 people all on one floor. Next to our meeting facilities, there's also an inviting terrace where both fresh air and a drink can be enjoyed by private parties.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hotel's Favourite
The location is great - trams pass right by, and the stop for the airport bus is only a 5-10 minute walk away. The reception staff were very helpful, breakfast was great and the room was very tastefully designed. There is a small gym and a good Sauna on the top floor, and a roof-top bar with views over the city. In the same building (out of the main door and turn left) there is a shopping centre with a very good supermarket if you need any supplies. We thought at first our room was a bed short, but we worked out how to fold out the chez longue into a sofa bed, and it turned out sheets and pillows were in an ottoman.

very good location, lots of restaurants, shopping, food stores and on tram line so easy to get around the city. Ample breakfast, with good choices and very friendly staff. My first room was dirty and I had to change within the same day. Bathroom is painfully small and your knees have to fit under the sink just to use toilet. Furniture had stains on it and the overall feeling was it could be cleaner.

Nice people working there but the room was far to hot without being able to adjust. When staying at a hotel the sleeping part is the most important - here it was a nightmare for our family = another hotel next time.

On the one hand, totally organized but if something doesn't fit into the scheme, they are pretty overwhelmed. Small rooms, it's better not to bring large suitcases. friendliness is also a big question mark. Especially at the bar, it's self-service, tips are obviously taken for granted. There is obviously no such thing as a thank you or a good day in the Swedish language. Breakfast must be reserved using a QR code even if you want the room to be cleaned. I don't like these Scandic hotels, the only highlight is the breakfast buffet

I stayed in Scandic hotels before and I was very satisfied with this hotel chain. Until now! We paid 150 eur expecting pleasant stay. The reality was: bedsheets were dirty, floor was sticky, huge stains on curtains, stains on furniture, cold bathroom, cold bathroom floor, no fridge, no slippers ( if you do not wash the floor, at least provide people with some shoes), no hair conditioner in the bathroom.

This hotel is very central and a good place to stay for our conference close by. Can be noisy if you have a street facing room but otherwise its central, clean, modern. There is a restaurant at reception and a rooftop bar. I have heard it was once the place to be seen in gothenburg and for me its a comfortable stay

The sleeping area was ok, worth the price paid. The bathroom is a little underwhelming than I expected. The toilet paper holder was broken and kept falling off which was annoying everytime. The elevators were so small that one might need to wait several times because it is always full especially during check in, check out, meal times. The location of the hotel is central which is great with plenty of restaurants and bars.

It was a nice hotel with nice staff. Though when i checked in the staff asked if i had any room prefences, i gave my answers and when asking if i wanted to be close to the elevator or not i said that it didnt matter. I ended up getting a room right infront of the elevators and during the whole stay i would hear the 'ping' from when the elevator stopped at my floorlevel. I didnt ask to change room though since i was only staying for two days. If giving the chance to go back to this hotel i would but just another room:)
