Hotel Pigalle

The staff working on the weekend were super nice and helpful, and I’ve stayed here many, many times, always so nice & such a lovely boutique place to stay with many awesome things to like. On the day I checked out oh my god, where did this girl suddenly come from? Little wanna be Swedish police officer banging on my door trying to get in. Ok i fell asleep after breakfast? So what. Even after i checked out & and was just having a coffee in the lobby, she came again in my face demanding to know if i had checked out? She was just rude, unprofessional, behavior was unbelievable. Really ruined my experience at the nice hotel Pigalle. Actually, I don’t accept people thinking they are better than everyone else & they think that they can just talk to people like they are a piece of crap. Therefore, sadly, I don’t think I will ever stay here ever again.. Sorry but..

As a Top Contributor on TripAdvisor I always do a lot of research before I decide where to stay on my trips around the world. Last time we visited beautiful Gothenburg we stayed at hotel Dorisa – a really magic experience! After reading a lot of nice reviews of hotel Pigalle I thought that this hotel was on the same high level. I am sorry to tell you that they have a way to go before they are on the same level… First of all, the interior of the hotel has a romantic atmosphere, and so unique. It’s like stepping back in time (see my attached photos). Our beautifully decorated Classique room (no 237) was very well appointed, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was way too soft for our liking. The shower curtains will also disappoint, as there is nothing to stop the water from escaping throughout the tiny bathroom to greet you with a soggy experience while you finish getting ready. You have to decide when you want to eat breakfast (one hour time-slot). Despite this, it was chaotic in the dining hall. Far too many people in a small area. There were no vacant tables inside, so we had to choose between sitting in the bar or outside at the rooftop area which was a freezing cold experience. The service during breakfast was not at a level one should be able to expect at this type of hotel. The location of the hotel is very central and super close to the central station of Gothenburg (about 3 minutes walk), it is also close to a lot of restaurants, cafes and a big shopping mall where you will find everything I really would like to recommend this hotel but are you looking for a magic experience in Gothenburg – Hotel Dorsia is the one you are looking for.
