Clarion Collection® Hotel Mektagonen

I have stayed here before and we were satisfied this time as well. This is a perfect option when staying as a family and going to Liseberg etc, only a short tram-ride away. Our room was big with a small kitchen and the beds are comfortable. Easy check-in and check-out process. Our booking also included breakfast and dinner, which is super price worthy. Good breakfast with lots of options.

The hotel has a modern and clean look. The staff is nice and helpful. Big and clean rooms. Beds are comfortable and the food is good. One thing the hotel can greatly improve is parking for its guests. This is handled badly by the hotel. This hotel is part of a big hotel enterprise which should be able to make the stay for the guests as easy and problem free as possible. At check-in you receive information about where to park and which app to use for parking, on a piece of paper. This is the only information you get from the hotel. In addition you pay the hotel a parking fee per 24h. For everything else about parking and questions, the hotel refers to Aimo parking, which is the parking company responsible for parking at this parking facility. You also have to pay Aimo parking a parking fee per hour as long as you are parked on site. That means double parking fee (hotel + Aimo)! This should be converted into one parking fee, so its more predictable and understandable for the hotel guests. PS! If you have an electric vehicle you want to charge over night, be extremely cautious and make sure you pay the correct fee (parking + charging) in the Aimo app. The hotel can't help you with questions about parking and/or charging, but refers only to Aimo. If you choose the wrong alternative in the app, you might be unfortunate to get a parking citation/fee. Neither the hotel or Aimo (in the app or on signs in the parking lot) have information about parking and/or charging. Both the hotel and Aimo have a responsibility to give the hotel guests and other users of the parking lot, and to inform properly and sufficient information so it eliminates any misunderstandings a foreign tourist and guest could be victim of, in order for users to be able to park, charge and pay correctly while using the parking facility. The hotel and Aimo have to work together to fix this current issue about parking, in order to make the whole parking process as seamless as possible for the hotel guests. The guests shouldn't be the ones to have to pay for bad or no information about parking, charging and paying for it.

The hotel is ideally situated for access to trams that run every few minutes and also if needed a large supermarket just a 10 minute walk. After reading some of the reviews I wasn't expecting too much food wise, but breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and the evening meal was first class, really enjoyed it and if you happen to be around between 3-5pm coffee and cake, so no complaints at all. The staff were professional, friendly and courteous. The rooms were clean and spacious with use of your own kitchen. We definitely made the right choice staying here and would do so again.

I honestly think this is one of the best value hotels in Gothenburg. The rooms were comfortable, had no issues with them. Breakfast and dinner were free, breakfast was exceptional and plentiful. The two stars off are for dinner. On the first day we had lasagna and the lasagna was burnt and tasted horrible so had to order food somewhere else because the lasagnas were not soo eatable. Attached below are the lasagnas for reference. I would definitely return, the reception staffs were also nice and friendly.

Nice experience for our needs at a reasonable price. With wife and 2 kids we share a family room with 4 beds. Acceptable big. Clean. It was fine to have a full breakfast, coffe in the afternoon, and a rich dinner at an affordable price. Food was good. Service was friendly. Close to 2 tramways to the center (only 10 minutes ro kids attractions like Liseberg and Universeum.
