Hotels near Backaplan, Gothenburg

"Very comfortable, and conveniently located close to the train station and the airport shuttle. There's a supermarket right across the street, and it's next to the Lipstick Building and the pier. The room was very modern; after staying in so many hotels in Europe, this is the first time I've experienced such a modern and smart-style hotel! The front desk staff were friendly, but the self-check-in was a bit tricky to operate. It would be even better if there was free drinking water available in the lobby."

"Because we travel with rented car so the location is not really a problem. They do provide private parking with additional charge which the staff at Front Office provided the information and explained very well. The room itself were fabulous. Everything is still new and all the tools are provided including kitchenette, washing machines, hair dryer, plates, cups, cutleries, and all the coffee & tea. The price was also very decent."

"The hostel is very clean and tidy. The guy who was responsible for the cleaning is always there. Some garbage was blown into the room from outside the window and the worker help us clean it. He also helped me using the equipment in the kitchen. Everyone there are very helpful. It is not near the central. But I can accept the walking distance from the tram station to the hostel. There is also a supermarket next to the hostel. It is convenient to buy food and drink if you need."

"Location is 10/10, right next to the central bus station and tram with multiple routes. Room is large, bed is a little bit small even for a single bed. Lighting is too scattered in the room. There is a coffee table attached to the sofa which is too steep you put anything on it, it slides away. Bathroom floor got wet after every shower cause the shower curb is too thin and short with no door. The ventilation was not good enough the bathroom kept foggy for a pretty while. The ac worked very well even sometimes was a little too cool. I couldn’t find anywhere to adjust the speed and temperature. Breakfast was very nice and replenished almost every single minute. Except one thing you have to slide the bread loaf yourself so everyone touched the bread which is not hygienic at all. Also if the breakfast time could be longer that would be perfect. The most indecent part would be the soundproofing of the rooms. The wall is too thin and room door is too heavy. When someone opened and closed the door it was way too noisy it felt like an earthquake (not exaggerating at all). On the third night of my stay, the guest in my next room was walking back and forth during the midnight (about 3am) probably to bathroom. He/She jumped onto the bed (We shared the same wall), it totally freaked me out I thought it was earthquake. My bed was shaking too bad. It happened like 3 times durning that night. The next day someone knocked my door at early 8am without saying anything. I reported to the front desk the other day and asked for a gentle reminder to my neighbor not to jump. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Honestly I was expected even more for this brand which is very popular worldwide. If the soundproofing issue could be resolved. I would definitely give it a 9-10 out of 10 with no doubt."

"Room was exactly as pictured and bed was very comfortable. However, the bathroom (en-suite) was not clean which was disappointing. I had to clean the sink and toilet and even then some of the hairs and bits of dirt were still there. It was also quite hard to find, especially at night due to it being in an industrial estate. A positive is that you are close to the river/ bridge (nice views) and the shopping centre as they’re all within 20 minutes walking distance."

"Staying at Clarion Hotel The Pier in Sweden turned out to be one of those experiences where you feel at ease almost immediately. There’s a certain warmth to the place that makes it stand out from the moment you walk through the doors. Friendly Staff Who Truly Welcome You What I noticed right away was how genuinely friendly the staff were. Every time we entered or walked past the front desk, we were greeted with a smile or a kind word. It’s such a simple gesture, but it created this feeling of being looked after, as if we were more than just passing guests. A Location That Balances Quiet and Convenience The hotel’s setting struck the perfect balance—peaceful and quiet, yet still so easy to get into the city center. It felt like we had the best of both worlds: calm evenings by the water, and the city’s energy just a short ride away. Beautiful Skyline and Water Views From the hotel, the view stretched across the skyline and the water, and it was just lovely. Whether it was morning light reflecting off the buildings or the soft glow in the evenings, those views gave the place a special atmosphere that I won’t forget. A Studio Room That Feels Like Home Our studio room came with a small kitchenette, and I can’t stress enough how handy that was. For a longer stay, being able to cook a simple meal or make a late tea added such a homely touch. The room itself felt modern and cozy, just right for settling in without feeling cramped. A Breakfast with Heart Breakfast was always a cheerful way to start the day, not just because of the food but because of the people. The breakfast chef, a lovely lady with beautiful red hair, had the warmest presence. She greeted everyone with such kindness that it set the tone for the rest of the day. Looking back, what made Clarion Hotel The Pier memorable wasn’t just the location or the facilities—it was the sense of care woven through the stay. Between the quiet setting, the beautiful views, the comfort of the room, and those daily warm greetings (especially at breakfast), the hotel managed to feel both professional and genuinely personal."

"The stay was absolutely wonderful! The place was very clean, well-organized, and comfortable in every detail. The service was excellent and the staff were very professional and friendly. I truly enjoyed my time there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant experience. I would definitely visit again!"

"No aircon, tv kept losing signal during the stay, have to check in via self service kiosk and cut your own key staff dont smile or interact with customers unless they get approached. Extractor fan in bathroom so noisy keep awake all night. No sound proofing in rooms hear every noise from rooms next door and below"

"Fint rum med mycket sköna sängar. Mycket bra frukost och bra service speciellt av Anton i receptionen. Vi fick extra uppvaktning pga av vår 40 åriga bröllopsdagsfirande. Det vi dock reagerade på var deras prideflaggor vid receptionen som inte var välkomnande. Handlar inte om alla människors värde utan om att alla inte delar deras extrema sexualpolitiska agenda. Det kunde vara nationsflaggor istället eller hotellets flagga."

"could hear water dripping sound coming from the toilet bowl or wall, can’t locate. toilet door can’t be close tight, one of the switch was not working, was given a room at the first floor facing the road and there was clubbing sound even at 10pm, curtain doesn’t close well cause sleeping direction faces it and light still shines in BUT breakfast buffet was good!"
