A beautiful converted 1920 boat in the heart of Gothenburg nice friendly staff breakfast was plentiful a nice all round stay

I’d read reviews that it was hard to check in after hours. Maybe it used to be, but now it is very easy. I let staff know I was arriving at midnight, and they provided easy instructions. I’d also read people who used Booking got bad rooms. Not so for me, I had a large room, with two beds, private bath and quiet. Also, breakfast was delicious and giant.

The location was amazing. There are great places to eat close by and the walk around the harbor feels great. The city center is also very close so it's very convenient. Also being in a ship kind of feels like an adventure!

May be stuff should be a bit more smiley, but it isn't the main point after all - they did their job well. Thank you! And good idea to clean rooms from dust more often (upper levels)

The room was not 100 % clean but ok. I’ve stayed here before and I remember this place a bit better. It is a bit more run down now and staff was a bit more service minded before (everyone can have a bad day though)
Breakfast was really great. Good value for money. Great location.
