The court verdict means that Gothenburg Opera will be refunded VAT paid over a nine-year period, totalling SEK37m (£2.7m).

The most important similarity, therefore, between Kearney and Gothenburg was their geography and that they both took advantage of it to produce their boom periods.

The only real plus is you're close to the train station, the opera house and several other attractions, but if you look for more in a hotel than location, you'll stay as far away from this place as is possible.
The rooms were old and not well maintained, noises from outside made their way inside too easily, the heat didn't work, we couldn't make local calls (even for a fee), and the closest parking was either through or around the entire length of a shopping mall.
