Hotel Örgryte

Frommer's Review

Though lacking a lot of character, this longtime favorite is a good, safe choice for overnighting. It has its devotees from the Swedish countryside, some of its fans insisting, "I would stay nowhere else in Gothenburg." Or that was the claim made to us. Named after the leafy residential district of Örgryte, where this hotel is situated, this family-owned hotel lies 1.5km (about 1 mile) east of the commercial core of Gothenburg. It was originally built around 1960 and renovated many times since, although the elevator was replaced with a larger and more modern unit in 2006. Rooms were upgraded and outfitted with pastel-colored upholstery and streamlined, uncomplicated furniture that makes use of birch-veneer woods. Most units are medium-size, often big enough to contain a sitting area; bathrooms are rather cramped but do contain tub/showers. Both the exterior and the public areas are not particularly inspired in their design, but overall, the place provides decent, safe accommodations at a relatively reasonable price.
