    Breakfast was nice but would’ve been better if there were more vegetarian options.

    Clean room & hotel, spacious. Friendly staff, Lisa was lovely. Great location, public transport walkable distance. Restaurant and rooftop bar was convenient, didn’t have to travel for food and drinks. Surrounded by stores if essentials were needed.

    First choice when visiting Gothenburg
    • Leisure trip

    Cleaning wasn't done very meticulously this time (shelves were a bit dusty, and we spotted some sand particles on the floor at one place). But all in all it still felt fresh and clean. One thing that's missing in the rooms is a safe, would be nice to have that.

    We always choose Draken when visiting Gothenburg. Location is great, right in front of the tram stop, easy walking distance to the city center. The hotel is next to the nice Linné area which has a lot of restaurants, cafes etc. The hotel itself feels very fresh, with many spacious lounge areas that are also very work-friendly. The view from the room was beautiful, and the room itself stylish with nice quality finish (i.e. wooden floors) and very clean bathroom.

    Currently there is huge construction site all around the building and they start works 8AM sharp. Breakfast room is crowded and tend to be very dirty in the latest hours. SPA books slots for lots of people and you just find yourself in the soup of talking people not relaxing or anything like this - we left after 15 min. Shower drainage in the room worked poorly, this was annoying and wasn't fixed after reported. Hanging lamps in the room are unnecessary at all - one above the armchair makes no sense. Shoe prints on the conrete walls in the room ... well I cannot guess why and what for. No climate control in the room nor openable windows.

    One of the tallest buildings in town with best views. Location is very convenient to reach main sites by walking. Top floors restaurant and bar has amazing views, good service, good menu and excellent wine list - only Rieslings more then 20 types. Design of the hotel is modern and interesting to explore. Nice cafe with yammy desserts. Elevators are very quite, quick and comfy - no junctions no waiting even the hotel is really huge. Bed is comfy - not too hard nor too soft, 2 types of pillows, good blanket. Breakfast is very rich, never seen dried apricote, rhubarb jam and non-lactose whipped cream in hotels before. Bathrobes and slippers for the spa are really good quality and with design touch, soft, comfy - loved it and color, dark bordo.

    The staff, or I should say the rules, are too strict! Me and a friend who was staying at a different hotel were walking around exploring the hotel and they stopped us, saying the bar was closed and we couldn’t walk in that area. Then she came to pick up her laptop she had left in my room but they wouldn’t let her come to my room with me. Then we were sitting on one of the sofas, and they said since she was not staying at the hotel, she had to leave! First time it has happened at a hotel.. and I travel a lot!

    Very nice hotel, well designed, breakfast was amazing!

    When I tried to block the drain from the bath to run a bath after a while when the water stops running, it starts to drain itself

    I was able to check in early and I got the bathtub as requested. The room was very spacious and so is the bathroom. I slept like a baby, and didn’t wake up with any pain The breakfast selection is amazing as they have different varieties and to top it off the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.
