Liseberg Grand Curiosa Hotel

Very child and family friendly hotel with several activities for the children like a cinema, a slide in the lobby and a large carousel in the dining area. Very short distance to Liseberg amusement park and Universeum science museum. Note that the amusement park is usually open until late at night (22:00 CEST), but we were not bothered by any loud noises even though our room was facing the park with a short distance to one of the rides.

The place was magical. From the moment you enter into the lobby and up the lift it is Alice in Wonderland type of place. Then there is a slide down from the second floor (who needs the stairs?). There is gentle but positively epic music theme playing in the background so that every time you are in the corridor it's like you are on cusp of great adventure (Pirates of Caribbean or Jurassic Park come to mind). The room is comfortable with a good powerful shower and a spacious bathroom and kids have their bunk bed. There is a kettle but bring your tea unless you are fond of Earl Gray. Good size fridge helps to keep the drinks cool. Don't miss out on the 8th floor bar. Breakfast was an event for the kids - pancakes drowned in smarties and nutella were top of the list, but occasionally other items were consumed like veg chocolate cake - the only complaint was "too chocolatey..." - First World Problem if I ever heard of one! Of course there is also the location - right next to the Lisberg Park - The Rollercoaster Eldorado ( you can get tickets in the lobby) and five minutes away from the World of Volvo - more sedate but fun place (for kids too! tickets online). Check opening times for Lisberg!!! It's FUN. Short walk away (need GPS) is Olstugan Tullen - a great mellow pub - superb for some Swedish meatballs for dinner and a few drinks. Highly recommended. Outside the hotel there is tram stop (No 4 and No 2) - allowing access to the entire Gothenburg (don't need to rent a car). From the Airport the hotel is near the first stop of the Grey Bus (Flygbussarna). Get a Vasttrafik App into your phone. If you have any spare time (like a whole day) and the weather is good head out to the Islands for a long walk. Alternatively (for half a day) walk with the kids in the Slottsskogen Park. Enjoy.

The hotel is absolutely fantastic, I would recommend it. One of the best experiences we had in a long time. The room are spacious, very well thought out for families, and very silent. The personnel is very friendly and helpful, the food is good. On top of that, the hotel is fully decorated and full of small surprises and details that will make adults and kids happy alike. All the more outstanding if you consider that it is a very large hotel with a large amount of rooms (and guests). The price of the hotel is very good, but they recoup it on food, bars, etc., but you can clearly see where the money goes (enough staffing, amazing decorations, keeping the hotel well maintained, etc.) so it's all very worth it and you're happy to spend it. Still, it's not excessively expensive and I think it's a very good price/quality ratio. Highly recommended

The room with 2 kids' bunks beds, which were situated a bit further from our master bed, was very good for everyone's comfort and privacy. And as well the view straight to the parks attractions just made us all 4 to look so forward to going to the park. We totally loved the playrooms, cinema and the carousel inside the hotel! The staff was lovely - especially when my husband hurt his leg (unlucky accident while walking in the hall) we were given all the needed help (icepacks etc), support and information about medical help (which we luckily did not need to use at the end), offered late checkout and best smiles of the staff so the accident did not ruin our overall mood - thank you so so much! And special thanks for the restaurant on the 8th floor - the staff (especially the hostess) was super helpful and took care of our needs just right after that little leg accident happened to my husband. Usually the staff is just stangers to you, but when in need those strangers can become the life savers - thank you so much!

The food was great, with everything you could imagine. The quality of the food was very high and the service was nice. So friendly staff! The facilities for children and families were perfect and the beds where very comfortable.
