The ship was the best ever. The breakfast was something to write home about.

Keith, United States of America

The experience about spending the night at a real boat is amazing. You have to have that in your mind, dont expect luxury since is boat adapted to ber a hotel, but is pretty clean, the staff is really nice and helpful and the breakfast is fantastic.

Isaac, China

The real feeling of a big old ship and actual sounds from the water outside especially in the base cabin

Jonas, Sweden

Sleep in a ship is a nice experience. Good buffet breakfast and free fruits.

Theerawood, Thailand

Nice experience but seemed over priced for what it was. An old steel sailing ship and important to remember that fact. However, for the price it should have been better. onelight in the room did not work. No bath mat and the towels were about motel 6 thinkness. No special touches which might have justified the price. Again,it was nice and we enjoyed our stay but not as special as I had expected.

Grayhawk33, United States of America

Great unique spot to stay on an older large shop on the water. Walking distance to everything you need including the Central Train Station.

S, United States of America

Location is fantastic. Close to city centre. That's the biggest plus. Considering it's a ship, the facilities are decent.

Siddharthagupta, India

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.

At first night fire alarm unexpectedly activated. After that ventilation in the room stopped functioning, most likely because of fire alarm. Windows are tightly closed, not possible to open, so the only way to get fresh air is ventilation. It was really difficult to breath in the room. During next day we talked to receptionist 3 times, got promise that it will be fixed, but second night was nightmare, nothing was fixed. Before fire alarm it worked really good, we even were afraid that it would be too cold.
Original hotel, ship is really interesting.

Walk from central station means crossing a not very scenic main road (but there's a bridge overpass) - not a big deal and definitely still worth it
You get to stay on an incredible, historic ship. You can take your breakfast to eat on deck and enjoy the view. Very clean. Good location a few minutes walk from central station and within walking distance of all the main sites, sightseeing boat tours leave from opposite the ship.

One of the twin beds in our room was a little uncomfortable.
Breakfast was excellent, the staff were friendly. Our cabin was a good size and was clean, as was the bathroom. The boat is secured so there is no movement and it is in a quiet location. Staying on a boat is cool.

The cleaning wasn’t quite what we expected - there was a bad smell from the pillows and floors and chairs were dusty. Wished there was more interest, smiles, contacts from the staff.
The location is great. It’s close to the City and the central station.
