Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel Eggers

A trash can would be useful but everything else is perfect

A wonderful old hotel!

Super hotel, excellent staff

A truly fantastic location and a lovely historic hotel with great breakfasts. We did not eat there in the evenings as it was fully booked. The cocktails are excellent and pretty reasonable for Scandinavia.

Right next to central station so super convenient. Easy walk to all the shopping and eating you want.

Lovely atmospheric hotel - spacious but cozy. I had a lovely room with wooden parquet floor and balcony. As everyone says - wonderful breakfast. Love how they have candles lit for breakfast and in the lounge.

Nice vintage hotel

Classic hotel under fine management.

Loved it! Very charming hotel, lots of character and excellent breakfast

Good hotel with easy access to the airpirt

Lovely old hotel with so much history. Our large room had a balcony which was lovely in the sunshine. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good.

Excellent. Lovely room. Great location. Didn’t like the parking though (a nearby shopping centre car park).

loved the classic decoration of our room. breakfast was great. The area is noisy but very close to central train station.

In fairness, I will start with the few positives I can say about the Eggers. It is well located if proximity to the main train station is important, and it was for me. Public spaces are what one expects of a decaying Grande Dame from the turn of the century. The room they put me in should be reserved for suicides. It had a single window facing a small lightwell with many other room windows facing into it, providing no privacy if the window and curtains were open. It was painted in very dark colors and poorly lit. When I checked in there was a burned out bulb, not that it mattered. Once I saw what some of the other rooms were like I realized I had really gotten the shaft. Staff were friendly and behaved as if they were going to be helpful, but ultimately, frequently were not. There was a heated towel bar in my shower and when I mentioned to reception that I needed to learn how to use it, they said they would take care of it. That was the end of that. The bed was very uncomfortable. It may have been a double, or their version of it, but there were two thin, uncomfortable pads on top of what appeared to be a mattress. Neither night there provided me with more than about 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. The bathroom was poorly maintained. The shaving mirror was falling off the wall. There was mildew in the grout in the shower. Towels were threadbare. If I were staying one day longer I would have moved to a different hotel.

Old fashioned charm in a great location. Breakfast was very good indeed.

Excellent place to stay

One of the finest hotels I have visited. A real gem.

The room smelled like fish the moment we walked in. It has nothing to do with being near water. There was just a fish smell soaked into the room. The hotel doesn't have air conditioning. So, if you want to be cool at night, you need to open the window. However, there is a metro station next door. So, if you open the windows at night, you'll have to listen to trains and police sirens all night. Also, the bathtub is "modernized" to include a shower, but it's too easy to make a mess if you actually do try to shower. The location is great. It's right next to beautiful gardens and near the mall. It's also very walkable to parks and shopping areas. It's also a very beautiful hotel with a lot of history.

I stayed in Gothenburg one night only and I had to catch a train to Stockholm the following morning. I’m happy I picked this hotel which was next to train station which in some European cities can be bad, but Gothenburg is small, safe and it was easy and convenient to get around from Eggers. Check in was fast and efficient, the room had everything I needed plus it was comfortable and clean. Great stay!

Great
