As always, its the people who are important and make for a decent stay. Although there was no 24hr reception, there was a phone which put you straight through to a very helpful person. All good.

Staying on a ship with an interesting history was a refreshing change for us. It was an easy walk from central station, and an easy walk into the city centre and old town.

The place is not as advertised on Expedia, and they either need to update the description to properly reflect what is on offer, or stop offering this place all together. For a start there is no toilet or shower in the room, it’s all shared, and that was not what I wanted in the slightest, again, not mentioned once throughout the booking process. It’s a really old ship internally, and is in desperate need of an update in all areas. The toilets absolutely stank, and the showers were old, filthy and rusted. The check in process is done by using a really old phone, and the person on the other end needs a lesson in the basics of customer service. This is without a doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, and it should be closed down for serious updates and repairs.

Loved the authentic Viking ship experience. Loved that they let us go to the top of the ship. Staff seemed a bit brusque and didn't speak any English, pushing us to leave exactly 11am when ill, having made us wait to change to the new room for the longest possible time. Very late check-in compared to the early check-out

Well where do we start , first of all on arrival check in is a joke , no one speaks English and just about speaks Swedish. Had to wait for our room to be ready for us, staff unhelpful and lack of staff working. When we booked our stay we see that there was supposed to be tea and coffee in communal areas and there's nothing. Not even a vending machine to get a drink. There is also supposed to be a Bar and restaurant, but that was closed without any signs. The upper deck outside is closed to guests. The whole ship is dirty and in desperate need of renovation it just looks like a complete mess. The so called breakfast buffet is a joke, very limited to what you can get. Please do not book a stay here , you will be very disappointed, we were 😡.

Great hotel for my short trip. Only downside was being unable to get into my room on the second day. A quick call got the card reactivated so only a minor problem. Room was comfy and a good size, clean and tidy. Breakfast options were very good, from meats, cheese ect to cereals and yoghurts. I'll definitely return to Gothenburg and I'd definitely stay here again.

Unique hotel!

Such a unique and cool hotel! Room was big and clean. Location was good too, with a short walk to the city centre. Check in after hours was a little tricky but got there in the end!
