We stayed at Hotel Vanilla twice during our stay, all the rooms are unique, clean and stylish. The staff are lovely and helpful and the breakfast is delicious. Great central location, super affordable, we will definitely stay here again!

The best hotel in Gothenburg

Really enjoyed our stay here. We arrived late and they were very allowing and it was dead easy to pick up the key. Bed was super comfy. Breakfast was fantastic. Location was great. 
Best thing - breakfast!
Worst thing - honestly cant think of anything.

Great Wee Hotel

this was a very charming hotel and very comfortable. There is a lovely breakfast buffet in the morning at the restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel. The rooms are light and airy and everything was great. just know there is no elevator so you must carry your luggage upstairs. For me it was up two flights. the location of the hotel was fantastic! Walking distance from everything in downtown Gothenburg and many many restaurants. I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and highly recommend.

Excellent location

If you are looking for a charming small hotel in a historic building with a great location in Göteborg, look no further - just make your way to the Hotel Vanilla. What you will see first is the courtyard, which invites you to sit down at relax with a coffee and a snack (fika, as the Swedes call it). Reception is one level up, and you will be welcomed with a smile. All the staff members are very pleasant and extremely efficient. The rooms are of different sizes, but very attractive and comfortable.
The breakfast buffet, which is included in the price, is exceptionally good.
Just one drawback - as the staircase is steep and there is no lift, this is not an appropriate hotel for people with mobility problems.
On a personal note, I would like to deeply thank Elise for her assistance and kindness in an emergency.


The Wonderful Hotel Vanilla Göteborg

Booked for a short stay in Gothenburg we found the hotel well placed centrally making the whole central area very walkable.  A little difficult to navigate to if arriving by car as we did, but the satnav was spot on. Off street parking available for 5 cars (pre-booking essential) but beware a narrow entrance. Rooms were well appointed albeit a modest size.  Breakfast was very good and in the adjoining cafe where hotel guests attracted a 25% discount on all other meals and drinks taken there. 

Cafe with hotel attached

Great location, very close to a block with great food courts, restaurants, bars & cafèes. Pittoresque, it looks a century old townhouse converted into a hotel. No elevator, no  manned reception after 21. Forgetting to bring, or losing, your keycard will set you back 100€. Parking was offered. Every room seems different, and they're all named after herbs & spices, with illustration on the doors - great if you have children.
Clean & small but cozy. They forgot to mention that there's heavy construction going on at the site next door, all hours. If you're a light sleeper, that might cause an issue for you. Won't be finished until another 6 months, estimated m, I was told (My stay was in May 2024.).
There's no fridge in the rooms, and accessibility to cold storage is thereby until at 21 with the reception, which is unmanned after 21.

Very central, pittoresque hotel.

This hotel is located smack in the middle of Gothenburg where you are surrounded by shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. We stayed in a room under the roof on the street side which was decent sized and had everything you can expect from a hotel room. Good wifi, comfortable bed, good shower and tasty breakfast.

The hotel only has 5 parking spaces on site so your chances of getting one of those are small. Instead you can park in a garage nearby (5 minutes walk) where you pay 180 SEK/day. The room was quite warm when we were there in November. We even turned the heating off. I can imagine that these rooms under the roof can get hot in summer.

Nice hotel in an excellent location with a good price/quality ratio

The hotel is easy to find - especially if you get the airport bus into Gothenburg, as it only a few minutes away from the stop, and so is really central.
Best rooms are on the top floor, under the roof. We started off on the main floor, near to reception in a Grand Lit Superior room (that being what we paid for in advance). Although that room was large, it was cold and the person working on evening reception (although really helpful) didn't know how to get the heating working (the radiators were all on but no heat in them). Also the central a/c was on - and blowing cold air. Why? That couldn't be turned off, so we eventually swapped rooms - up to the second floor. Although that room was significantly smaller (looking at the website it was a Double Room Superior as it certainly could not be described as 'spacious' - barely any room between the bed and the wardrobe on one side), it was more characterful, and warmer. Still had central air on though. Needless to say, no refund for the difference in room price - so with that and the hassle of changing rooms, I'm not giving 5 stars.
Breakfast is very good - just watch when you go as it can get incredibly busy and the staff, despite working mighty hard, don't have time to clear up - so one morning there were a lot of dirty plates/cups stacked up on tables, meaning they couldn't be used, thereby reducing seating. Once the rush was over, however, it was much better. 
We opted for the wine and fruit deal one evening, which was great - lovely fruit platter, and the fizz was good, too.
Overall, an excellent base for exploring Gothenburg.

Nice hotel in an excellent location

We liked the ambience in the hotel and their late afternoon delicious, complementary pastries. We had room #7 with its comfortable bed, windows that open and its great location.The breakfast buffet was generous & good with warm, friendly staff making sure everyone had what they wished.

It might be good for you to know that there is no elevator in this small hotel so you will have to carry your luggage up a flight or 2 (depending on where your room is located).  

Hint: if you are driving yourself, you'll be so happy if you reserve one of the 5 parking spots when you make your booking!
 
For a very nearby evening meal: Great Italian restaurant ‘Sorellina’ a couple of minutes’ walk away filled with great food, great wine, and friendly locals. It is very busy but a call from the receptionist will secure you a table!  Also there is a great mall just across the street.

There is a lot of construction going on around the Old Town so it might be good to ask the hotel for current  driving directions about how to reach the hotel. Our GPS (satnav) almost had a breakdown trying to get us there. Finally a kind stranger told us just to drive slowly down the pedestrian walkway (a city street wide) or we would never get there, so we did - through the throng of pedestrians.

Good Value

This is a very nice hotel in a good location with a good breakfast but one giant flaw.  The reception closes at 2100h (we were not informed in advance) and we arrived at 2215 to find a locked front door.  No one answered the hotel telephone but a recording informed us that an email has been sent to late arrivals with a code to open the door.  We never received such an email.  One is also threatened with a fine of SEK 1000 (about USD 100) for calling their security service for a non-emergency.  Thus we were left standing outside of our pre-paid room with no recourse.  After about 15 min, by random luck, another guest came by and opened the door for us and we found our room keys on a table inside.  It is reallly not acceptable to leave guests stranded on the street with no email as promised or at least someone to answer the phone.  But a nice hotel as long as you arrive before 2100.
