Fantastic location - it's a boat! I don't think you'll find a more interesting place to live in the middle of Berlin. Room was not at all cramped as for a boat cabin, although it is smaller than a typical hotel room. It was well heated. The boat has plenty of space to sit on the deck and enjoy the river.

Leonid Ukraine

You can't beat the location. Absolutely awsome. Waking up to the water and boats passing was really cool.

Dennis United States of America

Rooftop lounge very pleasant place to hang out and enjoy the sunset. Room was comfortable at a great price.

Neal United States of America

Try to get a river-view cabin! Would book again just for the pleasure of sleeping on the water, but the view on the Spree is the icing on the cake :) Facilities are basic but adequate, staff is very friendly & helpful, and on deck you'll find some smoker's corners and a lounge bar with 2 larger terraces - the river view is just as stunning there :) Location was excellent for us, close to the Ostbahnhof train station, right next to the Berlin Wall and still on walking distance from Friedrichshain.

Lotte79 Belgium

best location for young people looking to experience the nightlife of berlin, within 10-20 minutes walking of most clubs, bars or beer kiosks worth visiting. sleeping on the boat is a joy, really fun. boat has a bar which is not too expensive and has regular events.

Sz Germany

It is a unique hotel - it's nice to sleep on a boat and sometimes hear the water and birds. It is nice to wake up on a boat too. The price is similar to "normal" hotels in the area, but this one offers a truly different experience. The location is very good. The staff is friendly. And there is a bar.

You can live in the centre of Berlin for a real low fare. Nice staff. It's a boat!

Eugene Ukraine

A cool experience with an amazing location right beside East Side Gallery. Loved having a view of the water from our room. It was especially gorgeous in the early morning!

K Germany

We have always stayed on a HotelBoat in Amsterdam and tried it for Berlin. Totally amazing experience, accommodating staff, great location and everything you need is really close by. Will be staying here again in the Eastern boat.
