Hotel Bellora
Retro-chic rooms with a rooftop bar
About this hotel
Hotel Bellora keeps a smaller, retro-chic character than the larger central hotels, with a polished Italian restaurant and rooftop bar covering the evenings without a spa or included breakfast pushing the rate higher. Its position near Röhsska museet and Göteborg Valand keeps a family close to central Gothenburg's own museums and streets for a non-water-park day. Pet-friendly status means a travelling dog is welcome. The tram to Liseberg runs from this same central grid, keeping the daily commute manageable despite the simpler room offering. For a family wanting a smaller, characterful property over a large chain hotel, and happy to budget breakfast separately, this is a distinctive, central option. That smaller scale also means fewer rooms overall, so booking ahead matters more here than at the larger chain hotels nearby.

Our take
This hotel suits a family wanting a smaller, retro-chic property with a rooftop bar, and happy to pay for breakfast separately. Families wanting breakfast or spa bundled into the room rate should look to one of the larger hotels on this list instead. For the right kind of trip, that combination beats chasing a slightly shorter walk to the gates.
- ✓Budget breakfast as a separate cost, since it is not included in the base rate at this property.
- ✓Visit Röhsska museet on a non-water-park day, since it sits within easy walking distance of the hotel.
- ✓Book the rooftop bar for an evening drink after Oceana, a distinctive touch this smaller property offers.

Why guests love itWe liked the smaller, retro-chic feel of this hotel compared to the bigger chains nearby, and the rooftop bar was a nice spot for a drink once the kids were down after an Oceana day. Breakfast cost extra, which we had budgeted for, and being pet-friendly meant our dog came along without any fuss. That is the kind of detail that only shows up once you are actually staying there.
