Although there was no 24hr reception, there was a phone which put you straight through to a very helpful person. All good. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah J 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Unique and characterful ocation. Stay was much better than anticipated from reviews but place needs better mattresses, human on site at reception (we only saw staff there once) and an arrangement for guests to be allowed a visit to the deck: it is a real downside - and a miss-selling of the location - that guests are forbidden access. Breakfasts need more variety and fruit. ##### Sarah J Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Noel 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities My room was in desperate need of updating it was very tired, bed was not comfortable bathroom was very tired too towels looked stained toilet seat was loose. ##### Noel Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda 14 May 2024 Everyone is helpfully Everything is perfect We like it so much ##### Brenda Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities AMAZING!! Love the decorations, cabine/boat vibe, cosy and very clean cabine/room. Great and very functional bathroom/toilet. Breakfast was great and good variety of food. Easily accessed location and short walking distance to the main areas. The only thing is that I have not seen anyone at the reception but they have a phone at the entrance for any issues. ##### George Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaimie 7 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We stayed here for two separate nights, enjoyed both stays very unique experience, other than on second night there was a broken flashing light outside, i slept through it but my husband struggled, there is lots of unique features to this ship that you can go round and explore, we even went up on top deck and had a walk around. Beds are comfy, Great location for everything in gothenburg city, near to shops bus station and train stations, what more could you ask for ##### Jaimie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gina 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Nice big room and bathroom, and breakfast was included. Not a bad walk to central station, but navigation helped, a lot of construction. Not much going on around it, probably because it was Monday ##### Gina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hans 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Try something different for a change Very Pleasant experience. I chose it as it was different from al other luxury hotels in the area, and I was not disappointed. I would recommend this to all who want to try something different. They will not be disappointed. Check in was done over the phone but went smoothly. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/944FE1E314AB51780B60D1B2AE58880241C3425D1730996094157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/402574FC361A83D868A47A0FEED32255C9A892D81730996102518.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B861418B4FA43670CF767E5FC1CB16CC7F8E9C721730996101690.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6DAE0BC810A253231B5E9ED9362824437839F7501730996094058.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hans Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elsa 3 Jun 2025 Nice hotell. Little shabby but charming. It is a big boat, but sturdy and safe. Comfortable. Carpets in the corridors need to be cleaned or better changed. I wish carpets were removed from the rooms, I am allergic to wall to wall carpets ‘cos they collect dust and produce a tiny fractures of synthetic cells in the air, and I don’t want to breathe that. Breakfast is simple and boring, I stayed there from Wednesday to Monday and it was same boring breakfast every single day, no sausages, no bacon. Cold eggs from yesterday, jams, 3 types of bread, a toaster, old stiff cucumbers and tasteless tomatoes, one cheap cheese. But hotel was very quiet and relaxing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d02642e-0e56-4b69-8023-346c27406a30-1748932776088.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51f822a2-41c4-4a9f-9936-5eaa29757b0e-1748932776163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/db19946b-6d40-43cf-974f-adecd2cbab8a-1748932775590.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3183ad67-8f5e-4650-a8ec-80a2cc4485c6-1748932776137.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elsa Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marilyn 15 Feb 2025 #### Budget but fine for me Here’s what you need to know: -the price reflects that this is not a fancy place -the ship lists hard to the side, which can be jarring -there is a decent basic breakfast -the shared bathrooms don’t look great; pay a little more to get your own bathroom I’ve stayed here several times because it’s a budget place I can stay while I’m in Gothenburg alone or with a friend. I expect that if the price is significantly lower, there’s a reason, and I accept that. Check in is weird the first time because you’ll do it via their land line, but it’s actually pretty easy. The breakfast person was super nice and attentive, too. ##### Marilyn Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Salomon-Ivan 11 Jul 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Our light in our bathroom didn't work, the shower head also kept falling off because it wasn't the right size for the holder. Cool to say in the ship worth what we paid for the fun experience. ##### Salomon-Ivan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sanja 26 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness One of the standout features of this hotel is that it is actually a ship, which adds a unique charm and a touch of adventure to the stay. The location is superb, as it is within walking distance from the city center, making it easy to explore all the local attractions. Additionally, being right next to the ferry terminal made it incredibly convenient for us to get around. The breakfast was okay and provided a decent start to the day, though it didn't stand out as particularly exceptional. However, there was one significant downside to our stay. Despite placing a request for room cleaning on our door, our room was not cleaned for the entire three days of our stay. This was quite disappointing and impacted our overall comfort. ##### Sanja Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Steven 2 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I am not one to complain and have stayed at the Barken hotel multiple times over the years and it has really taken a dive. I had to wait for several hours for my room to be available. They only had one person in the house keeping staff for the whole hotel. I felt really bad for her. The new management of this place is atrocious and they clearly don’t care at all about running a decent operation. There front check in is non existent and you will need to call someone to get your room who has no clue what is happening at the hotel. The key card the past two times I was there didn’t open the front door and I had to stand outside and wait for another hotel guest to go outside to get back in. Despite waiting for hours to get in my room this last trip, the house keeping staff barged in on me one minute after 11 to demand I leave. They said they would give me a partial refund when I talked to their remote staff but it was never provided. It’s really sad because this used to be a great place to stay. AVOID at all costs and stay at another hotel in Gothenburg, otherwise you’ll just be dealing with waiting around or stuck outside which will ruin your trip. Do better! ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stuart 20 Sept 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice easy check in room was clean and tidy this is an old boat , but I did think most things were just ok , there is heating in the room pity it’s not on , the boat is lovely and well lite up at night pity the curtains dont block the light out , there is no bar or restaurant available, and you are not allowed to walk on the upper deck , I bet this place was fantastic a few years ago but definitely needs an upgrade , shops and restaurants are not far away ##### Stuart Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### kyle michael 17 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Check in was bad, staff only present for short time then it’s all done through a phone call. Room and shared bathroom felt like a jail cell. The bed was an awful cot. Literally left and went to a different hotel the next day. Would not recommend this place at all ##### kyle michael Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Magnus 15 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Ok frukost ##### Magnus Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### joel 1 Sept 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Slecht onderhoud stinkt muffig in de gangen de patrijspoorten kunnen niet goed open voor frisse lucht konden niet op het dek komen wat ik wel verwacht had een op een papiertje stond dat je 10.000 kronen bekeuring kon krijgen als je op het dak kwam alles moet via de telefoon omdat er geen personeel is alleen 's morgens bij het ontbijt die totaal geen Engels spreekt kamers zijn redelijk de douchen zijn goed beddengoed was schoon en handdoek ook. ##### joel Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martin 10 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Zuerst das Positive in Kürze: - 4-Mast Schiff mit schönem Ambiente - Bus + Straßenbahn + Linienboot Haltestelle in der Nähe - Altstdt ca 20 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar Nun das Negative: - Zimmer war bei Ankunft nicht komplett aufgeräumt - Decken Paneele waren kaputt - Absturzsicherung am Etagen Bett oben hat gefehlt - Frühstück war okay, aber Eier schmeckten seltsam - Etagen Toilette war schmutzig und Klopapier hat gefehlt - öffentliche Parkplätze in der Nähe sind sehr teuer ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Dåligt utbud och kvalitet på frukost. Lampan på rummet blinkade hela tiden.

I ga handdukar på rummet, fick ringa och fråga var vi skulle få tag i det. Stod att det skulle finnas både bar, och restaurang, stängt!?!? Detta ställe var som ett sämre vandrar hem. ##### Stefan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Omar 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Omar Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stefan 1 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fuktskador i tak både i sovrum och toalett ##### Stefan Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025
