Smallish rooms, but do the trick.
As small number of those who stayed at Allén found their rooms to be small, as often seems to be the case in Sweden, but they were thought to be fine for a short stay.
negative:
Wi-Fi quality in rooms poor.
Reviews indicated that there have been occasional issues with the quality of the free Wi-Fi in the past. In particular, it seems that some guests have been unable to access this in the rooms, although you may have more luck in public areas.
negative:
Steps to lift and trouble finding the hotel.
A few of those who stayed mentioned that you need to scale steps in order to access the lift, so the less mobile should keep this in mind. Additionally, the hotel can be a little hard to find due to the system of street numbering in Gothenburg, so make sure you mark it on a map.
