Short of sleeping at the airport, has anyone got any recommendations of where to stay? Don't want to pay loads or ideally more than a hotel for trains / taxis etc.
The airport hotel sometimes has rooms freed up closer to the travel date or freed up on day of travel, but you can't count on that always.
There is the Flygbussarna airport bus that goes from the GOT airport to Gothenburg Central (train station) for 99 SEK each way, but it takes about 30 minutes in each direction. It runs at least every 20 minutes during the evening hours until the last one runs at around 30 minutes past midnight most days of the week.
Hotels around Gothenburg C (central train station) aren't all that expensive always. And even for relatively expensive nights, there are some options to buy Choice points (in the Choice US hotel program) and use them for Choice hotels that are a 1-10 minute walk from the Gothenburg C train station.
With carry-on only luggage, I would choose to go into town, stay there and head back on the bus in the morning. But I can do it for about 1000 SEK all-in including transport costs. Depending on the night of the week, another option may be to go into town on the airport bus, wander around/party/linger in the city and then head back in the morning to the airport.
