A really nice cycling package that we highly recommend! Göta Hotell is a charming and intimate hotel with fantastic staff and unique rooms. We booked an extra night, which we don’t regret at all! Great bikes, a much-appreciated picnic basket, and beautiful bike paths along the Göta Canal made the trip a truly wonderful experience. Thank you for a fantastic stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Göta Hotel didn't really understand the concept. We didn't receive any relevant information. The dinner that evening was unacceptable in terms of timing. We had to wait an unreasonably long time for our food, and the staff didn't apologize or try to make it up to us.
