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

to get started.

A novelty place to stay and quite fun. A good breakfast.

Trevor, United Kingdom

The location was great. It was clean, comfortable & the reception staff were very friendly & helpful.

Maree, Australia

For a start I Love boats. The fact that Barking Viking is moored less than 5 minutes walk from the Central Station and Bus Terminal, made it easy to get to from Landvetter Airport. Across the street from the main station is Brunnsparken tram stop, with trams constantly leaving and arriving to access all parts of the city. Likewise, walk for about 2 minutes up the harbour and you're on the main street, for shops and restaurants. All the staff were extremely courteous and very helpful. Couldn't ask for more

Michael, Ireland

myself and my sister travelled across Scandinavia over 2 weeks and this was probably our favourite accommodation. the rooms are cosy and quirky, good size. great showers too.

Geronimo, Ireland

The location was great with easy access to the airport bus and the city center. I loved the ship's atmosphere, but I think it had seen better days. Still, it's a good value for the money I paid.

Lita, Latvia

it is a hotel on what used to be a Viking ship. it was quirky, fun, clean. excellent selection of food at breakfast. showers were great, staff lovely and in great location excellent value for money- I loved it !!

Diane, United Kingdom

The boat is very cool. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was very good! Staff were very friendly and let us check out an hour later on request. Tea and coffee available from reception. Bar area upstairs is nice.

Claire, United Kingdom

It's a unique place to spent the night or having a drink at the bar or have a nice dinner in the restaurant on the deck. This the most amazing hotel with restaurant in Gothenburg. It's in the heart of this amazing Swedish city. Once you enter to check in, there will be a very friendly receptionist who will help you with all the information you need to know with a smile. Breathing the clean air what's created by the water makes you already a happy person. Public transport is close by: Tram, bus, boat and the central station is also very near by foot. Wanna paddle or rent a kayak? You will find it also in the same street. I recommend everybody who looks for accommodation in Gothenburg this hotel. ★★★★★

Charlotte, Belgium

It was exactly as I imagined a 110-year-old ship to be, warm, cosy and comfortable. It had a lot of charm and I found the room small but well-laid out. I loved the portholes, they just look charming and give a surprising amount of light and fresh air. The breakfast was a fairly average continental breakfast with plenty for everyone.

Bexxth, Australia

Fantastic breakfast, gorgeous deck to sit and relax on at the end of the day at the bar. Love the charm of the boat with porthole windows and rustic cabin. Good location to get around from. Would happily stay again.

눉Set aside the fact that you're actually on a ship and that you can't open the windows, you quickly forget that you're on a ship. I don't know if it was because of the bad weather but there was no way to go on deck and as far as I could tell when the bar is open it is also open to the general public.
