Unique hotel!
Such a unique and cool hotel! Room was big and clean. Location was good too, with a short walk to the city centre. Check in after hours was a little tricky but got there in the end!

Great hotel for my short trip. Only downside was being unable to get into my room on the second day. A quick call got the card reactivated so only a minor problem. Room was comfy and a good size, clean and tidy. Breakfast options were very good, from meats, cheese ect to cereals and yoghurts. I'll definitely return to Gothenburg and I'd definitely stay here again.

Service does not exist. It's self-service even when you check in. But the boat is cosy in its own way.

The Viking boat was lovely, the room was clean, easy check-in, we were late due to the flight being delayed, had to call the phone, which was on reception to get our key card, which was no issue. Breakfast was lovely and highly recommended. I wish we had, had more time there. I will definitely book again.

AMAZING!! Love the decorations, cabine/boat vibe, cosy and very clean cabine/room. Great and very functional bathroom/toilet. Breakfast was great and good variety of food. Easily accessed location and short walking distance to the main areas. The only thing is that I have not seen anyone at the reception but they have a phone at the entrance for any issues.

We stayed here for two separate nights, enjoyed both stays very unique experience, other than on second night there was a broken flashing light outside, i slept through it but my husband struggled, there is lots of unique features to this ship that you can go round and explore, we even went up on top deck and had a walk around. Beds are comfy, Great location for everything in gothenburg city, near to shops bus station and train stations, what more could you ask for

At check-in (only via phone call) we were surprisingly informed that the hotel had stopped serving any breakfast. It would have been useful to know this earlier.
Otherwise, the hotel is nice and clean with a great location.

Try something different for a change
Very Pleasant experience. I chose it as it was different from al other luxury hotels in the area, and I was not disappointed.
I would recommend this to all who want to try something different. They will not be disappointed. Check in was done over the phone but went smoothly.

Budget but fine for me
Here’s what you need to know:
-the price reflects that this is not a fancy place
-the ship lists hard to the side, which can be jarring
-there is a decent basic breakfast
-the shared bathrooms don’t look great; pay a little more to get your own bathroom
I’ve stayed here several times because it’s a budget place I can stay while I’m in Gothenburg alone or with a friend. I expect that if the price is significantly lower, there’s a reason, and I accept that.
Check in is weird the first time because you’ll do it via their land line, but it’s actually pretty easy. The breakfast person was super nice and attentive, too.

The room itself was decent, but the shared bathroom was terrible. They were almost out of paper, and there were puke in two of the sinks.

Zero reception
Nice ship, but zero open reception, and very dirty in common areas, cleaning lady just on her phone all the time, she didn’t clean up trash in common areas once between Friday and Sunday (when I stayed there).

One of the standout features of this hotel is that it is actually a ship, which adds a unique charm and a touch of adventure to the stay. The location is superb, as it is within walking distance from the city center, making it easy to explore all the local attractions. Additionally, being right next to the ferry terminal made it incredibly convenient for us to get around.
The breakfast was okay and provided a decent start to the day, though it didn't stand out as particularly exceptional.
However, there was one significant downside to our stay. Despite placing a request for room cleaning on our door, our room was not cleaned for the entire three days of our stay. This was quite disappointing and impacted our overall comfort.

billig og sentralt, men slitt med elendig frokost
Sentralt og billig...og bare det.3 gang vi ligger på båten.De trenger reparere ting som forfaller.Værst er frokost som blir dårligere og dårligere for hver gang vi ligger der. Når du til og med mangler brød?
Neste gang skal vi betale mere og bo bedre

Sjovt sted med ingen service og ringe morgenmad
Sjov oplevelse, at sove på et skib. Værelser er ok. Men du skal selv checke ind og ud. Morgenmaden er ikke noget værd: kedelig, billige råvarer og dårlig kaffe! Intet personale at tale med…
