This is a cute hotel, nice and clean, right in the very middle of Gothenburg. You have a short walk to the Opera House/the river. Shopping is right outside. The hotel also has a great café with lots of varieties, both small deli food or sweet pie. That's great! However the rooms were very small and very hot. No air... More

This was a lovely, clean hotel with very friendly, helpful staff. We arrived early to check-in and were given a room straight away. The hotel is very centrally located and easy to find on arrival. We got the bus from Landvetter airport and the bus driver told us which stop to get off - it was across the road and... More

Stayed here for one night, I was impressed with the central location and friendly staff. The hotel is located very close to the centre and room was nicely decorated, only complaint from my husband was the lack of a kettle! The staff were very accomodating and when they didn't know the answers they made every effort to find out, they... More

This hotel has tons of charm, each room is individually decorated and bears the name of a herb or a plant--such an idyllic touch!--and the breakfast buffet is generous and very very good. Hotel Vanilj is located right in the middle of the shopping centre of Gothenburg,with only a few minutes' walk to practically everywhere. However, if you have a... More

Even with sat nav our arrival by car was "interesting" and it took courage to drive down the pedestrian precinct. And with the hotel entryphone system broken accessing the hotel - eventually through the coffee shop - was a bit fraught. But our room on the top floor was very smart, clean and comfortable and reached via an attractive passageway.... More

This delightful and well maintained gem of a hotel is in the heart of the shopping area of Gothenborg. Pros: Great rooms, very clean, location and price. Cons: Tough to get to by car (deceptive streets that look like they are for walking only (but you CAN drive on them), and there is no elevator (fine for us, but something... More

Stayed just one night, enroute from Stockholm to Copenhagen. Everything was just fine. Arrived at 2.45 wanting to get a 3.00 sightseeing tour, so left our luggage and said we'd be back later - no problem. Hotel located in a very quiet side street but within 10 mins walk of the railway station. Room pretty good and very clean. Good... More

The Vanilj is well-located and the rooms are simply decorated (in a good way). Prices in the summer seem reasonable. Breakfast is ok but aside from the decent baked-goods, we wouldn't recommend the mediocre food for lunch/dinner.
