Liseberg Grand Curiosa Hotel
Brilliant stay at a lovely hotel with our toddler who found the hotel magical. The hotel is brilliant and while more expensive compared to other hotels, well worth it. The staff were great and amenities superb. If I had to give some constructive feedback it would be to review the eggs at breakfast ...

The hotel room is aesthetically pleasing. It had useful essentials like iron and hair dryer but was missing other things like shower cap, earbuds etc. Lovely staff, although no one picked up when I called the reception. Lovely breakfast with lots of options. Overall, it a decent hotel.
