Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel Gothenburg
4-star comfort with its own indoor pool
About this hotel
Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel Gothenburg pairs 4-star comfort with an indoor pool and fitness centre of its own, a useful backup for a family whose Oceana day gets rained out entirely or who simply wants a second, quieter swim away from the park's crowds. Its central position near Trädgårdsföreningen garden keeps the tram connection to Liseberg short, and an airport shuttle covers the Landvetter transfer without needing a taxi. Breakfast is included and the spa suits an evening wind-down once the children are asleep. Pet-friendly status rounds out the property for a family travelling with a dog. For a family wanting a central, full-service base with its own pool as a fallback rather than relying entirely on Oceana, this is one of the more complete options on the list.

Our take
Radisson Blu Scandinavia is a central four-star a short walk from the Trädgårdsföreningen garden, with bright rooms, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, spa facilities, breakfast included and a dedicated shuttle to Landvetter Airport. Pets are welcome, and 4,364 guests rate it 8.6. I would choose it for families who want a full-service hotel with a pool for rainy days; those who want to walk straight to Liseberg should stay closer to the park.
- ✓Use the in-house indoor pool on a day when Oceana's queues are longest, saving the water park for a quieter morning instead.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle in advance for a Landvetter transfer rather than arranging a taxi on arrival day.
- ✓Reserve spa access ahead during school-holiday weeks, since the central location makes this a popular choice for families and business travellers alike.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe booked this hotel expecting to use Oceana every day, but the hotel's own indoor pool ended up saving one grey afternoon when the park queues looked impossible. Breakfast was included and generous enough for the kids before a water-park morning, and the airport shuttle on departure day meant one less thing to arrange with tired children in tow. That practical upside carried the stay more than any single room feature did.
