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.

Nice big room and bathroom, and breakfast was included. Not a bad walk to central station, but navigation helped, a lot of construction. Not much going on around it, probably because it was Monday

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

The registration is brilliant but so unique that it is non-intuitive. Fortunately another guest was smoking outside as I arrived and registered for me. I recommend instructions sent to the guest the morning of arrival. I did email them that morning but no response.

Was expecting so much more based on the rating. Like other reviews, the check in process is an issue. There are multiple signs that tell you to do different things and none of them are correct. The bar/restaurant is closed and there is no access to any exterior portion of the ship so that really takes away from the overall experience. Based on that this could have been any average to bad hotel and it doesn’t help that you get none of the good ship experience.

Overall, this was a fun and quirky place to stay. It was very inexpensive, so it's hard to complain about not having bath toiletries or an actively staffed front desk. We arrived around 10pm and were able to get into the 'ship' only because someone was exiting when we got there. Once inside, it was not clear where to go or what to do to get our key. After 5 minutes of waltzing around the place, we finally found a phone with instructions for dialing the property manager. He indicated the key was made and in an open lockbox by the front door. Problem solved. My biggest gripes were the lack of information shared before we arrived regarding how to get into the property and our room. There was also no information in the room on breakfast timing or location, etc. From a service perspective, it's insane that we stayed dour nights and NEVER saw anyone at the front desk. Would I stay here again? Probably. The location is great and the room was very inexpensive. They have a ways to go on spiffing up the property though. Lots of random things laying about in the communal areas and the upstairs deck was closed off to guests. Weird.

Great once you get checked in
Everything about the stay was great once we were checked in. The problem is the check-in process, and we heard the same complaint from two other guests. They mention that the reception desk is staffed limited hours. I never saw anyone there, and i must have passed by 10-12 times at various times of the day. If the front door is locked when you arrive and you don't have a phone, there is a way to get in, but we figured it out by trial and error. The instructions on the front door were not helpful. Then, once you are in, signs point to reception, but it is unstaffed. Eventually we found a phone near reception and we were able to call someone who made a key (remotely) so we could access our room. The company who runs the hotel needs to revise their check-in instructions with the assumption that the guest has never been there before and may not have a phone with them. Put themselves in the guests' shoes.

Great Experience
Really unique experience staying on a barque docked on the river in Gothenburg. Self check in is straight forward although it’s worth noting that Hotel.com customers must use the phone at the property to call the remote reception as the reference number needed for check in doesn’t get emailed to you. Room was good, everything worked and was clean. Breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly and professional. There’s a small museum to look around on the lower deck for free. It’s interesting just having a walk around and exploring the vessel. Stayed for one night but would have been more than happy to stay for longer. Cool experience.

Visiting Gottenberg
A lovely sailing boat converted to a hotel but kept authentic l. No reception staff on board and check in done via computer - efficient but impersonal. Very quiet overall with people only seen at breakfast. Breakfast itself was buffet style and catered for different tastes
