We went to Gothenburg for the European CF Meetings. There were seven of us. We stayed 5 nights. The contact with the hotel began months before as we made reservations, changed them, changed them again, changed the names that went with each room and just before arrival extended one room. Andreas and Tina answered emails promptly and always with the right information. Sometimes, it was what we needed but didn't know to ask for.
The trip from Landvetter Airport was easy. Take Flybussarna. There are ticket machines in the terminal and at the curb, but the driver waved us on board quickly sold us our tickets using a credit card without fuss: about $10 US one way. Get off the bus at Kungsportsplatsen. Facing the direction of the bus, turn right and walk down the square and then angle left with the road until you reach the Hotel Royal. It's across the street from the Radisson Blu. If you keep going past the hotel down the road angling further left another two blocks, you'll be at the Central Station for trams and buses. (The taxi ride from Landvetter is quicker but costs about 6 times as much: a fixed price but ask if not offered as metered fares are also allowed and usually more.)

The hotel requires a climb of three steps to the door, there's a button on the right to open it, then a few more steps to the front desk. I never saw handicap access, but I have feeling they would figure out a way to accommodate everyone considering how good the service was. Check in was immediate with no trouble with finding reservations. All six of our group in 4 different rooms reported no troubles checking in arriving from 9AM to 11PM, and the clerks had no trouble sorting out who was staying where and who was paying. The clerks were always happy to help and always made sure that we knew about the tea and coffee service in the lobby. The lobby service had “afternoon” cake that was available from about 2 in the afternoon until about 6 in the morning just before breakfast started. That cake was usually so good that we skipped desserts at restaurants just to get more. One day, they had iced coffee out that was terrific. The lobby computer was easy to use to print boarding passes. Wall mounted ipads allowed some electronic exploring of the town. Two lobby areas inside and a patio area outside allowed us to gather as a group for tea and cake in the afternoons or after dinner. An old elevator fits 2-3 people with bags snugly; there is also a beautiful staircase that is...More
