Lock in a great price for Hotel Barken Viking – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

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

The bed was comfy and the bedroom very clean. Breakfast was excellent - and the coffee was good too. I ate in the bar the first night and my meal was OK, not exceptional but good to know that it is possible to eat on board. I like the whole shabby-chic look. My stay was in late August, so it was not at all busy. The nearby area is under construction now, but I think it will be great when it is done. And it was very handy for train/coach station and shopping centre.

Katrina, Iceland

Rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. I think it's cool to be staying inside a boat.

Boryan, Taiwan

The setting of being on a sailing boat. Friendly staff. The food choices for breakfast was good. Proximity to centre of Gothenburg.

Rob, Australia

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

Was novel to stay on a boat. Reception staff were friendly and helpful, and room was very clean. If you like quirky, this might suit. If it's peak summer and maybe the place is livelier then this might suit.

City, United Kingdom

If you travel a lot and get sick of the same hotels then this is a breath of fresh air. I love staying in a cabin, the whole hotel has bags of character. The room is comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Robyn, United Kingdom

A quirky type of hotel, well located. Interesting to look around the boat itself.

Stephen, United Kingdom

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

Sunshine, Ireland

“I had a very relaxing two nights here: quirky but comfy.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Economy Single Room without Window
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉My room had a separate shower and toilet. The shower was fine but the WC room had a bit of a smell which was unpleasant. Luckily the closed door kept it out of the bedroom area. I'm not keen on the US-style stars and stripes as decor. Something more Swedish or nautical would be nice. And I had not expected the boat to be moving quite so much - it took me time to get my land-legs back after two nights on the Viking!
눇The bed was comfy and the bedroom very clean. Breakfast was excellent - and the coffee was good too. I ate in the bar the first night and my meal was OK, not exceptional but good to know that it is possible to eat on board. I like the whole shabby-chic look. My stay was in late August, so it was not at all busy. The nearby area is under construction now, but I think it will be great when it is done.

“Rather odd place to stay, so I suggest look beyond simple review scores. It might be exactly what yo”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉All very odd here and has a distinct feeling of end of season, or maybe a business being run down. The room was very shabby in places (damaged wire casing around edge of room, drill holes that weren't covered or filled), and some maintenance issues (portholes that weren't possible to close, flush on loo a bit temperamental, sink very slow to drain.. you get the idea). Breakfast was also very odd. Nice spread laid out, but no staff on hand (which I needed to check allergen information). Or at least I didn't think there were any staff, until the only other two actual guests got up and left, and then the lady who was lounging with a coffee on her phone got up to clear the table. I had to ask and wait for a napkin/serviette. Yet same time lovely crockery specific to the ship. All quite bizarre. Bar was closed. We were allowed on the deck when we asked, but there wasn't really much point being on the boat without that open.
눇Was novel to stay on a boat. Reception staff were friendly and helpful, and room was very clean. If you like quirky, this might suit. If it's peak summer and maybe the place is livelier then this might suit.

눉You can get hot drinks etc in reception - sometimes they were out of coffee / milk. I would have preferred in room facility for this, or at least to make sure they always had the supplies available. Usually there was plenty, just a couple of times it needed refilling

눉Despite having emailed in advance our late arrival, we still arrived to find the boat completely shut up, and had to telephone for the access code. It would have been nice if this could have been emailed to us in advance, as we were tired and wet (it was raining) when we arrived, and our mobile phones nearly out of battery....!
눇A quirky type of hotel, well located. Interesting to look around the boat itself.

눉Our cabin was against the shock absorbers secured to the hull - so you could hear the hull flexing against the immovable shore.
눇The 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.
