Well where do we start , first of all on arrival check in is a joke , no one speaks English and just about speaks Swedish. Had to wait for our room to be ready for us, staff unhelpful and lack of staff working. When we booked our stay we see that there was supposed to be tea and coffee in communal areas and there's nothing. Not even a vending machine to get a drink. There is also supposed to be a Bar and restaurant, but that was closed without any signs. The upper deck outside is closed to guests. The whole ship is dirty and in desperate need of renovation it just looks like a complete mess. The so called breakfast buffet is a joke, very limited to what you can get. Please do not book a stay here , you will be very disappointed, we were 😡.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Unusual hotel in great location

Very nice hotel, simple but comfy rooms, friendly staff, breakfast has all you need. Very quiet unless there is an event on board in the evening, which just happened once in the 5 nights I stayed there. Great location, right in the old harbour, just 15 min walk from city center. Sightseeing tours by boat are close-by. There was only one issue during my stay - reception is supposed to be open from 7 am to 9 pm, but in reality, mostly it only seems to be staffed in the afternoons when new guests arrive. Also, my keycard did not work for the main entrance which was an issue when reception was closed. Same was the case for other guests. There was a number that you could call so somebody would open the door for you, not it's not ideal of course. However, I am sure this is just a temporary issue and will be fixed soon. Otherwise it was a very comfortable and charming place, well definitely stay there again when I come to Gothenburg.

Our light in our bathroom didn't work, the shower head also kept falling off because it wasn't the right size for the holder. Cool to say in the ship worth what we paid for the fun experience.

Great value in the centre of Gothenburg

Amazing venue. View was stunning and really easy to find. A very useful landmark when slightly inebriated. Good breakfast selection. Could do with a bit of updating in the public areas, eg carpets are torn and frayed. Don't stay over public holidays as telephone check in system is rubbish

Reception sign pointed in the wrong direction, there was no one there and you had to call to get your key done. Couldn't store my luggage as no staff were on board. I loved the hotel but they need staff.
