Stayed in Riverton for 3 nights on for a residential business conference. The location was nicely within the city and one could walk around and enjoy some history of Gothenburg and find some nice eating joints. The hotel itself has limited dining options and is more of a conference centre. The conference facilities were just about adequate. There was enough... More

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights when I was attending a conference in Göteborg. I had a pleasant stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Göteborg for leisure or other activities. Location: Location of the hotel is ideal so to speak. You can walk to the hotel from the Central station (if you... More

A newly renovated hotel. Very fresh and clean. Nice bathroom. Nice amenities in the bathroom. Only water in the minibar though. Big flat TV screen with many channels. Comfortable bed. Good price. Rich breakfast. Excellent view from the sky-bar. I liked the hotel and will most probably go back when i come to Göteborg next time.

I must say this is a nice place whit a nice view from the sky bar the only drawback i must say is the lack of room service that is limited to nighttime only same as the restaurant

The room was fresh and very very white! took a little while to work out that we had electric blinds and lovely lighting that changed colour! Room and bathroom both small, but advantage of seating area. Currently upgrading the corridors which will finish off the hotel nicely! The location was good, walk one way to Haga and the other to...

Lovely staff. Rooms that face water have great views. Rooms on the other side have no view at all, so ask for a room facing the water. There is a power station accross the road. Not great I thought until I started walking around the city and realised it's a great way to orient. You can see the smoke stack... More

Stayed here based on recommendations from colleagues. Location-wise, this was perfect as it's a 5 minute stroll to the jetty to catch the free ferry to Lindholmen, where my office is. Perfect. Room was quite sizeable considering that this is Europe, let alone Scandinavia. Quite well appointed and I didn't notice anything missing which I would have expected from a... More

We stayed at the Riverton for 2 nights in early December. The check in procedure was very smooth despite the fact that we arrive very late in the evening and the rooms were modern, clean and spacious. The hotel is close to the dock but a very short work to the main districts of Gothenburg. Haga and Linne were a... More

Stayed many times in this hotel without any problems until now. Completely disappointed as guest at this hotel. First awkward experience at arrival. It took the reception girl some 5 min, before she decided to take care of my check-in despite none else was there. Very unfriendly and incompetent as well. Room was on the lower floor just about the... More

Dear Lilind, Thank you very much for your review. I'm truly sorry to hear that your last visit was such a disappointment, especially since you stayed here previously without any problems. The behaviour that you mention is of course completely unacceptable and I would appreciate if you could send me some details about your reservation, so we can find out... More

I had a pleasant stay at the Riverton Hotel a couple of years ago and did not think twice about staying here again. However, this time our room was located just below the restaurant, which was noisy at night. To my surprise, the heating was not working properly in November, a Scandinavian winter month. The first receptionist I approached insisted... More
