I've been to the bar frequently during my travels to Gothenburg. The view is stunning, and it's a fantastic place to enjoy some good cocktails. But more importantly, the service is top class. Their bar keeper Philip is excellent and really goes out of his way to cater to our needs every time. Kudos to him, and to Upper House.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Upper House, Gothia Towers. We stayed in Gothenburg for 5 nights for the World Masters Athletics Championships, before driving across to Stockholm.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful - the positioning of the bed meant you had the views of the city through floor to ceiling windows. A lovely seating area with a sofa and small table. The bathroom was spacious with a large bath and separate rain shower. The shower did flood into the bathroom which was unfortunate and meant mopping up the water with towels after every use. This was reported to staff but didn’t spoil our stay.

The spa was a really lovely extra included with the Upper House room booking.

The gym was the best hotel gym we’ve ever used. Fully equipped and super clean. A great selection of machines and free weights.

The location was perfect - easy access on foot to all parts of the city.  Tram and bus stops were a short walk from the hotel and the timetable was easy to work out using the app.
Slottsskogen Park/Botanical Gardens were a 4km walk from the hotel or a 15 minute tram ride. The city centre and shops were less than 1km away. Beautiful parks with rose gardens and palm houses were a short walk away.

I’d highly recommend this hotel.

I had an excellent stay and experience at this hotel.  The staff were very friendly on check in.  The room was excellent.  Housekeeping did an excellent job cleaning my room daily.  I loved the Daisy breakfast buffet included with my room. I especially loved the hotel spa which was also part of the room.  The outdoor heated pool, steam rooms, sauna and entire spa was excellent and over the top.

Excellent expérience.
Room was big and comfortable with a nice view.

Bathroom was comfortable and provided for.

The spa area was interesting and large. We also liked the post-spa leisure area to drink tea and eat some fruits.

The breakfast was excellent, very good hot chocolate and options.

The service was excellent, probably the best service we have had in Sweden. The employees are adorable and really willing to help.

Will definitely recommend.
