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.

“Not worth your money!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The room we stayed in seemed to have been under the restaurant/bar area of the ship so we heard every single noise from upstairs. Because of this we got to sleep extremely late and were woken up at 6am with furniture being moved and people talking above. This ruined the whole experience for us.
The breakfast was really good, so at least there was that! Also the hotel was located in a really good spot, everything was easily accessible from the hotel.

As we got on board the ship it smelt like sewage dirty toilet water all the way up to our Room. It was very stuffy in the room no adequate ventilation and the shower leaked when not in use and when you used the shower it didn't drain properly so you would have a bathroom with 2 and a half inches of water for at least 4 hours until it drained not Impressed at all if I wanted a bath I would of asked for one! Also we were woken up by loud banging and rolling of drums and furniture just outside our window at 6 am so great start to the day not!!!! This was put forward to the only member of staff known to us on the ship at the reception which he had no care in the world at all I might as well of talked to a brick wall he was very unresponsive and ignorant! The breakfast was ok though

Not worth the novelty. The boat hallways smell of mold. The staff is not energized or pleasant. Rooms are basic, and bathroom had a lot of mildew and no hot water. American style breakfast and coffee were tasteless. WiFi useless.
Ship is located centrally to main Gothenburg shopping and attractions.

“Good experience in a historical ship”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The reception has been closed and moved to the bar in the upper floor; thus ruining one of the nice sights of the ship, while leaving the front door unattended. The main attraction of the ship, the upper deck was closed; I guess due to low season. The room was good size but there are no usable plugs in the room and none at all in the bathroom. I stayed for two nights but during this time the room was not cleaned. No soap in the bathroom. Breakfast is varied but quality is not good. Reception is closed at 9 pm. Beware if you arrive after this time. After nine pm there is no body on sight. You can get free coffee and cookies at the bar.
The ship is beautiful. No doubt. And it its within ten minutes walking from the central station. However, the hotel is hopeless. It is the second time I stay at Barken Viking and my opinion is no better. The ship has great potential but at this moment it is not realized. Certainly, you cannot expect to have in a historical ship the same kind of comfort you may have on shore. However, everything in Barken Viking is torn and old fashioned. It requires urgent renovation. That said, if you want to enjoy a different experience in a historical ship, it is still a good option. The Price is also resonsable.

Breakfast was great, it is different staying on a boat but comfortable and central location - would definately stay again!

The receiving staff member was not particularly nice nor did he explain where my room was, as it took me a while to find it through the maze of floors and corridors of rooms. On top of that, there is no night staff, as It took just over 2h for a remote to staff (extremity friendly and understating young lady) over the phone to reactivate my card so I can get into my room. Overall, for an establishment such as this and the money you pay per room they appear understaffed, not polite nor helpful.. nice locations and concept, hospitality 0..
Decent breakfast and located walking distance to Central station

We would like to have a possibility for a diner on board. In some areas a little bit of renovating would be fine.
A very interesting place and we slept very well. The breakfast was very good with a lot of local meals. Cosy bar and restaurant.
