It was nice and the atmosphere made me smile immediately :).

The atmosphere on the boat is really nice. Sleeping a night there makes your city trip feel immediately longer and more exotic. Rooms where really authentic oldschool boat cabins - I liked that. Breakfast was good.

The bathroom felt a bit untidy, but still fine. The morning sauna was not working. And the room ventilation made some noise.

Good stay for one or two nights

Quick walk to Viking Line and also just a 30min walk to city centre or a short bus ride. Very unique place to sleep and definately okay for one or two nights. Cabins are, of course, very small but it was enough for me and I had a good night sleep. Had a nice beer at the cafe right on the ship. Breakfast was also good!

Noises from the other cabins can be heard very good. So hope for quiet neighbors or bring some earplugs just in case ;)

The deck and the breakfast room are really nice, unexpectedly I was not comfortable in the room.

The staff, the location and the sun deck of the boat

The room was tiny with no window, for the first time of my life I felt uncomfortable. it got really hot in the evening in the room (10pm), and then at 4:50am some kind of alarm went off, I was dressing up, ready to take my child over to the deck when all noises stopped and nobody was in the corridors to evacuate us...

Rating is 9 out of 10.

Hi! the breakfast was very rich and tasty. Good location, everything is nearby. Special thanks for the beautiful view of the river and rocks. The room was comfortable, neat and quiet. the staff is friendly and helpful, all my requests were taken into account. The price matches the quality. I also liked the extractor fan in the room. My rating is 9 out of 10.

I think the hotel lacks disposable rubber slippers as they are required during and after showers. And also a regular phone so you can make an order or contact the reception. It was cold in the room in the evening.

Funny small room

It was funny small and clean room as I expected. I think, it's the best variant for this price. Also it was very good breakfast in the morning 😇

I didn't find any glass in the room

Extraordinary place to spend a night

This is a real cruise ship ) Exploring the former cruise ship in the night was interesting. Rooms are comfy and well equipped. Breakfast was above expectations. Good price/quality ratio when you want to accommodate a family of 5 )

Very good

parking is great. The location is ok, a bit far from the city center, but bikes or buses are available. the breakfast was good (not excellent)

There are not a lot of electrical plugs, and their location is pretty bad (on the ceiling or really high up the wall). prepare to charge your phone in weird places.

I'd certainly come again and book a bigger cabin next time!

Cool atmosphere of an old but venerable cruise ship. Breakfast is OK, but the lunch offered is a very good value and genuinely and caringly prepared on site.

The ventilation in the lower (cheap) cabins is quite loud and can't be turned off - can be disturbing if you're a light sleeper. The in-cabin bathroom is clean, but a bit worn-out.

Fantastically fun novel hostel

It's got heaps of character, being on this boat. Staff friendly. Fantastic breakfast. Morning sauna!

It is a little far out but get the app and you can unlock scooters to whizz up and down the river side - great fun. My room on deck 4 and forward in the ship was a bit noisy - think some of the ship's power stuff was nearby. Rear of the ship quieter I think. I use earplugs anyway.

Interesting experience of staying on ship. Not comfortable for long stays since the room is very small, but for couple of nights stay is very uniqe option. Location right next to the castle and the tourist port.

The room is very small, but it is part of the ship experience.

Don't recommended place

The nicest thing is that you sleep in a ship. Location is good to reach the city walking. Also several nice boat restaurants are along the river. A nice castle to visit is at waliking distance.

This is a very old ship with very tiny rooms. We were in three and it was really difficult to move all together in that very little space. Bathroom is also very small with shower "attached" to the closet. Breakfast is awful. Just some green salad, some slices of cheese and not well known salami. The only thing I was able to have was a long coffee. In sum: you can get better places maybe with lower prices.
