Jacy’z Hotel & Resort, Gothenburg: Practical Hotel Review for Travelers

Jacy’z Hotel & Resort is a 233-room high-rise in Gårda, about a 15 minute walk from the Ullevi and Scandinavium event zone. You book it for a social stay with Pachanga Pool Club & Spa on the 27th floor and late-night bars, not for a quiet, early night.

The experience: What staying here feels like

You will notice the venue energy as soon as you arrive, because the lobby runs like a meeting point for dinner bookings, bar guests, and people heading up to the pool floors. At 18:00 on a weekend, the ground floor can feel more like a restaurant entrance than a traditional “quiet hotel lobby” setup.

The trade-off is control over your evening. You can do dinner, drinks, and a pool club session without calling a taxi, but you will share elevators and corridors with people on the same plan. If you value a calmer building after 22:00, this is not the safest bet.

Rooms can feel compact in some categories, and the hotel actively sells windowless options. If you are sensitive to sound, request a room away from elevator banks and away from the busiest package floors, because reviewer feedback often mentions crowding and occasional noise during peak periods.

For a quieter base in the same city, compare with a few other options in this Gothenburg hotels guide.

Jacy’z Hotel & Resort Gothenburg hotel

Start by choosing your room category based on daylight, because Jacy’z sells rooms designed for “sleep and go out” weekends.

The clearest example is Dark at JQ, a 13 m² room with no windows. It is a smart pick if you want the lower price and plan to spend your time in Pachanga, the bars, or at events. It is a poor match if you need natural light to feel settled at 08:00.

If sleep is your priority, avoid the smallest categories and ask for a quieter placement. This building hosts nightlife and package guests, so corridor activity can spike late on Friday and Saturday. “Quiet room” requests are not guaranteed, but asking early improves your odds.

Location check: Accessibility and surroundings

Yes, the location works well for event Gothenburg. Many listings place you within about a 15 minute walk of Nya Ullevi, Scandinavium, and Liseberg, plus you have trams within a 10 minute walk via Ullevi Södra and Ullevi Norra.

The limitation is atmosphere. Gårda is practical and event-adjacent, not a classic sightseeing district with cafés outside the door. If your plan is mornings in Haga and evenings by the canals, you will spend more time on trams, start with this Gothenburg transport primer.

If you are visiting Liseberg with kids, the walk is manageable for many families, but rain and winter darkness change the equation after 17:00. Use this Liseberg visitor guide to plan timing.

Facilities and amenities that matter

Pachanga Pool Club & Spa is the headline feature, open 09:00 to 22:30 daily, with the bar listed from 11:30 to 22:30 and the kitchen from 11:30 to 22:00. The setup is more “pool club session” than silent spa, and reviews frequently mention crowding and music during popular times.

Plan for paid entry if it is not bundled in your rate. The hotel sells spa entry from 195 SEK per person, and package pages show that age rules can change by time slot, for example 13+ with an adult during earlier sessions and 16+ with an adult later in the day.

This is not a good pick if you want a slow, quiet sauna ritual. If your ideal spa day is low voices and long loungers, you will likely feel rushed here on a Saturday.

Breakfast and dining

Breakfast happens at Archie’s. The listed hours are 06:30 to 10:00 on weekdays and 07:00 to 10:30 on Friday and Saturday, and the hotel lists the breakfast price at 195 SEK per person when you buy it separately.

Expect peak-hour pressure. Reviews often mention a breakfast rush, so if you want a calmer meal, aim for 06:30 to 07:30 on weekdays or arrive close to 07:00 on weekends.

If brunch matters, Archie’s lists brunch on Saturday and Sunday, 12:00 to 15:00. The trade-off is that dining is part of the hotel’s “night out” identity, so restaurant areas can feel busy even if you only want a simple bite.

Costs, fees, and potential surprises

Parking is the most common “gotcha,” because the hotel pushes pre-booking. Pre-booked garage parking is 395 SEK per 24 hours (12:00 to 12:00), and the hotel also advertises drop-in via EasyPark at 28 SEK per hour. Some reviewer feedback flags confusing signage with the EasyPark setup, so pre-booking is the lower-friction option.

Spa access can change your total quickly. Entry is marketed from 195 SEK per person, and some packages bundle it while basic room-only rates might not. If the pool club is your main reason for booking, confirm what is included before you pay.

A deposit can be required at check-in. Some booking channels list a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit for incidental charges, which matters if you arrive late and only carry a prepaid card.

Practical booking tips

If you want daylight, avoid windowless rooms. “Dark” categories are clearly labeled as having no windows, and that detail matters more than a slightly bigger TV.

Pre-book Pachanga sessions when you travel on a Friday or Saturday. The pool club is a shared venue, and you reduce stress by treating it like a ticketed event.

If you arrive by car after 17:00, reserve parking with your room. The pre-booked option is priced per 24 hours and removes payment app confusion.

If you are building a weekend plan around events, check what is happening at Ullevi and Scandinavium before you book, then compare your timing against this Gothenburg weekend itinerary.
