It was a ship adopted as a hotel. A nice experience.

Arben, Albania

For those who obviously like to stay on a boat, location was very practical and experience was something in comparison to regular hotels. Nice breakfast.

Lenka, Slovakia

Very clean. Staff is super accommodating. Awesome decor. Very well presented.

Canbek, United States of America

Ship is located centrally to main Gothenburg shopping and attractions.

Rajbir, United States of America

Charming characterful place, ship hotel well positioned in city centre. Late check-in procedure very good, Not every day kind of hotel. Worth visiting.

Krešimir, Croatia

Plenty of room for a solo traveller and excellent location, only a few minutes walk to the local shopping centre and to the main street of the city and the central train station.

Tyse, Australia

Such a thrilling feeling staying in a Viking boat For 2 nights. Excellent location. Great bar. They let you check walk anywhere on the boat, enhancing the Viking “feel”. Loved it!

Robert, Canada

This is a fun place to stay. The room was small but is is a schooner so that can be expected. The included breakfast was very good.

Teresa, United States of America

Great location and unique stay right in Gothenburg on a piece of the city’s history!

Sunshine, Ireland

The novelty of being on ship's cabin was thrilling and have drinks on deck below the masts as sunset occurred over the harbor. The public room decor was excellent. The cabin was small, but efficient.

Stay in the Heart of Gothenburg –

This charming hotel is on a restored 1907 windjammer (large sailing ship) on Gothenburg’s Gullbergskajen Quay. It features great views of the waterfront, free Wi-Fi access in public areas and spacious maritime-themed rooms.

The bright rooms at Hotell Barken Viking feature wood-paneled walls and original work by marine artist Franz Glatzl. Flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms are standard in all rooms.

Barken Viking Hotell is within a 5-minute walk of Nordstan Shopping Center and Gothenburg Central Station.

Centrum is a great choice for travelers interested in food, shopping and restaurants.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

“A good night’s sleep.”

- • Family with young children

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The rooms were quite small. And while I enjoyed the nostalgia of the ship, it had a slightly neglected feel about it. Perhaps it was because it wasn’t busy and if there were more guests, it might have felt more lively.
I liked that it was a converted ship. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and there was a decent shower.

It would be good for the personnel to have some better inside coordination: The room was not ready at 21:00 (despite the email confirmation), the invoice had to be prepared twice... It feels generally that the rooms need some more regular inspection for improving one or the other defects i.e. in the bathroom. The ship offers a superb opportunity for an improved ambient!
Nicely situated on the port, just 5-10 minutes on foot to the central station.
