Scandic Backadal
Staff spoke excellent English. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Room was a pain to access with the card as it seemed to be very temperamental. Parking was fine, as a larger van we had to park in the outdoor car park, but our room key opened gate. Pool was nice if not a little cold.

Euroway Hotel M&M AB
The entrance & lifts looks dirty and dated, but the hotel rooms/reception are acutely 3star standard. Microwave in my room and plenty of food shops and restaurants provide food options.

Liseberg Grand Curiosa Hotel
Nice hotel, although a little chaotic at times with young kids running around and shoes left at bottom of staircases, kids charging around near the breakfast buffet, etc. Rooms nice although they could do with a low level light / nightlight particularly with a kids bedroom area which is otherwise ...

Clarion Hotel Draken
Draken Hotel was absolutely amazing. Room was a great size and very modern. Only complaint is NO drawers. Bed linen was best ever. Reception staff were very nice & helped me when I had an issue which was quickly resolved. Breakfast fantastic & lots of choices. Will definitely return.
