This is a 1920's ship turned into a hotel just minutes walk from the Goteborg Central Train/Bus Station and Nordstan. We were the only guest for our one night stay. Room is clean, well appointed, small (as expected) with a porthole window. Breakfast was served. This is a refreshing change if you are tired of same-old, same-old hotels. More

Took my family with me on a business trip to Gothenburg. Thought the kids would like sleeping on a ship. Kids loved it, and so did I. Good service, nice rooms. Okay breakfast. And great location. I have stayed here several times before, and I like it because it is a little different (yet same good service) from other regular... More

I traveled to Sweden with a good friend of mine, and because of the uniqueness and history of the Barken Viking, we decided to splurge and stay on the ship for our last night in Sweden. It was one of the best decisions I made on this trip and was a great way to end a great vacation. The staff... More

I was planning a trip for me and my four year old to Göteborg and my husband told me about an old ship that was converted into a hotel there. This type of thing is right up my alley and we weren't disappointed. From the moment we walked into the lobby, the charm of the place just made me giddy.... More

This Ship Hotel is fabulous. The rooms are very cool and although small with the bunk beds rolled down, it just keeps adding to the charm of the ship. On the top deck, there is a Bar with outside tables and a marquee....it was great to sit and watch other older and newer ships sailing in and out whilst having... More

I was in Gothenberg for a wedding (August 2003) and had no idea where to stay. The bride recommended this hotel due to the affordability. Turns out I would have paid triple for the experience! The staff was amazing... courteous, knowledgeable and always smiling and friendly; the continental breakfast was superb (don't know about dinner as we chanced different restaurants... More

The Barken Viking is great value accommodation. Its only a five minute walk from a very large shopping centre, and around ten to fifteen minutes walk from the avenue (main tourist area). The accommodation is clean and tidy, and the staff are very helpful. Don't be put off by the shared bathroom/shower facilities. During our stay I never saw any... More

Gothenberg is an unextected treat! We landed there because of an air fare deal, but loved the hotel, boat tour, Liseberg ( pronounced Lisa berry) and city. The Barken Viking Hotel is a boat sitting in the harbor. We stayed in crew's quarters. That meant we shared the bath across the hall and a shower room . We never saw... More
