IQsuites

We came here from the US where a "suite" nowadays is just a slightly larger room with a divider, so we were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness and luxuriousness of this property. These units were converted from 19th century workers' "room and a kitchen" apartments, which makes the building very charming. There's a kitchen, bath, and bedroom on the first floor. Bedroom has a "real" queen-sized bed, not the two twin beds put together that you often get in Nordic countries. Best part is the ground floor underneath the original apartment, which has been excavated to make room for a living room / spa area. Each unit has its own whirlpool tub and sauna. There's access to the back garden from the ground floor, which gives you a nice place to have coffee or a drink in nice weather. The property is located in a quiet area away from the city center, but there is easy access by tram line #2. It runs directly to the train station and to Korsvagen, which is the first airport bus stop in the city. The tram gives you good connections to all the main sights of the city. For those who choose to drive, the property has free, gated parking, which is otherwise non-existent in Gothenburg. The facilities are one thing, but it's owner Roxanne who really makes this place great. She was friendly and helpful, and even came out to help my wife who is recovering from knee surgery one day when she had trouble getting up the hill to the building. The breakfast she provides is simple, but more than adequate. We stretched it out for a couple of days breakfast plus one day of lunch. The drawbacks are minor. One was the overly complex lighting system--couldn't ever remember which switches worked which lights, and the only way we could figure out to turn on the bathroom mirror light was from the kitchen! Also, while the kitchen has state-of-the art appliances, cooking utensils are limited.This won't be an issue for most people, as there are good restaurants and carry-out places within easy walking distance. Overall, I highly recommend this property for a Gothenburg stay.
