Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Avalon Hotel is for travellers who want to step out of the door into the heart of Gothenburg. It stands on Kungstorget by Kungsportsplatsen, with the canal and the main shopping streets right outside, and it has a strong design identity: rooms arranged by Feng Shui principles, art throughout the building and, from May to September, a heated rooftop pool with views over the city. Guests also single out the breakfast and the comfortable beds. The central position has a downside. The hotel is surrounded by bars and a nightclub, and at weekends music can be heard late into the night in rooms facing the street. The entry-level rooms are compact, and the open bathroom designs, with glass doors or a bath in the room, give little privacy. Choose a larger room on a higher floor at the back and it makes a stylish city base; if you need silence, look further from the square.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 4 hotels we list in Gothenburg is 9.0.
What Guests Loved
- Guests praise the location above all: Kungsportsplatsen, the canal and the main shopping streets are right outside, and the central station is a ten-minute walk away.
- The heated rooftop pool and terrace, open from May to September, is the feature guests remember, with views across the rooftops of the city.
Things to Consider
- The hotel sits among bars, restaurants and a nightclub, and on weekend nights music can carry into rooms until well after midnight. Light sleepers should ask for a room facing away from the street.
- The entry-level rooms are compact, and some guests felt their finish lagged behind the larger rooms. If space matters, book a bigger category.
Should you book it?
Avalon Hotel is worth booking for couples on a city break who want style and a central base — but pick somewhere else if you are a light sleeper visiting at the weekend.
