I had an appointment in Mölndal so thought I would test out my newly acquired BW status. This hotel is directly connected to the arena so would be perfect for an overnight after eg a concert. There is plenty of paid parking, 140kr for 24 hours on weekdays which is significantly cheaper than using Parkster. Note from next week it’s summer rate of 80kr per week!! On check in I received an 125kr voucher to be used for anything except alcohol in the reception. The receptionist was new at the job and didn’t know the menu prices yet, but her along with all the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. I was given a late checkout which helped the day run much smoother. Additionally I was given (without asking for) a handicapped room which was palatial in size with a mini kitchen! A little writing desk, plenty of space. Comfortable bed. Shower with good pressure. Good sized fridge. I slept well and the only complaint really about the room was the mat looked visibly old and dirty. The rest of the room felt clean. Towels are thin, I missed the thick fluffy towels of other hotels. Breakfast was decent with OK selection. The pancakes had obviously been sitting as the corners were hard, but the coffee was good and staff friendly. I would stay here again - thank you to all the staff at BW Åby

“Comfortable room and good breakfast, but cleaning must be ordered separately.”

Comfortable room and good breakfast. The room was not cleaned when we returned from the second day's excursion. Then we discovered a note on the desk that cleaning must be ordered in advance. This is obviously a new variant of cost saving.

“Mostly for horse track”

This hotel is one of two close to the horse race track Åby in Gothenburg. I guess most of the guest are coming for a stay due to that. Otherwise it is not close to any downtown activities, shopping or other things. Rooms are OK and so is the breakfast.

“Good hotel with terrific gym.”

Easy parking, kr 60 for one day; Fast check in, spacious room, nice bathroom with no amenities but with hair dryer and good bed and pillows. Complimentary coffee and tea. Only comment was that sofa bed for the kids was not ready and you have to put it in place yourself. Normally hotels in this pric… more

Easy parking, kr 60 for one day; Fast check in, spacious room, nice bathroom with no amenities but with hair dryer and good bed and pillows. Complimentary coffee and tea. Only comment was that sofa bed for the kids was not ready and you have to put it in place yourself. Normally hotels in this price range get it ready for you. Fantastic gym (it’s actually a gym company sharing building with the hotel). Breakfast was good in variety and quality. Without a car, it may not be super convinient as it is not near to downtown. Nice detail: we left behind an iPad and call two days after to ask for it. They found it fast!

“Modern but unsatisfying”

If the range was out of 10. I give it 4 **The Westin Ivy Hotel, Sweden - 4/10** I recently stayed at this hotel when I needed accommodation in the area, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to other travelers.

If the range was out of 10. I give it 4 **The Westin Ivy Hotel, Sweden - 4/10** I recently stayed at this hotel when I needed accommodation in the area, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to other travelers. While it's marketed as family-friendly, my experience fell far short of expectations. The most disappointing aspect was the children's facilities, which were shockingly substandard for what we paid. The amenities felt more like what you'd find in a basic budget establishment rather than what families deserve. The breakfast only till 0930am which is quite early (especially considering family stays). On the positive side, I found the staff to be pleasant and professional, the sheets were clean, and there was reliable hot water. These basic standards were met, which kept this from being a complete disaster. However, given the price I paid versus what was delivered, this hotel represents not great value. If you absolutely need a room in the area and have no other options, it will provide basic shelter. But for families especially, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere. There are likely better options available that offer proper facilities and amenities worthy of what you're paying. The hotel has potential but needs improvements to justify its rates and family-friendly positioning.
