Scandic Goteborg Central
Great hotel just on the edge of the historic centre of Gothenburg. Hotel felt upmarket, rooms were great, beds comfy, was a short walk from the bus station so handy for getting to and from the airport, and whilst not quite as central as other hotels, it was only a 5 minute walk to lots of restaurants ...
