Reviews of Hotel Barken Viking 3 stars

The beds where comfortable staff was helpful and friendly

Bring a heater with you if you stay aboard very cold in my room .not very comfortable staying in the room with no heat Rooms weren't cleaned tell I asked on the 4 rth day for clean towels . Upper deck was closed when I was there no restaurant for dinner in the evening no bar . couldn't go and lay around in the sun something I was looking forward to ..waste of a ship if customers can't go see the whole ship

What a unique experience! Centrally located and good value for money. Couldn't ask for more!

The location is great, we loved being near the water but also right in the city centre

It is such a shame that you can't access the deckare or any outside parts of the ship. The lack of a bar or restaurant also means there's nowhere to hang out in case of bad weather etc. There's nowhere safe to leave luggage either.

Great location

One of the rooms (102) we booked felt quite like a prison, no windowns, all white, mold on the ceiling.

Very quiet place but close to the city

Kind of old and dusty

The boat concept is fun and original, and it’s not too expensive! Nice to try for a one time experience

The hotel wasn’t so clean, breakfast wasn’t great, and there was a whole group, if not multiple, spread in multiple rooms, shouting and blasting music in the next room and in the corridor until 3/4am. Could barely sleep!

Unique hotel

No staff at the hotel, all contact including check-in is only via telephone. Room was missing towel, phoned ‘help desk’ and was told nothing could be done until next day; told to “try some cupboards, to see if I could find some yourself”. Dirty public areas. Old furnishings, worn carpet. Public bars, lounge, outside ‘deck’ were all closed to access. Very basic breakfast, not worth the extra paid.

Nice room.on a cool ship

An extra of 250 SEK per night for my dog

Location

Universal floor steep

my stay we great as always at this place, recommended

We wanted to try sleeping in a boat cabit:) The equipment is a bit retro but stylish. Everything was clean. Good breakfast.

Breakfast was good. Location as well.

Smell from Toilette.

The room was lovely and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It was quite easy to check in - the instructions they sent were easy to follow.

The breakfast was lacking a bit, even for a continental breakfast and the shower in my room needs fixing a bit.

Gorgeous old ship, decently clean cabins, decent to average breakfast buffet. Check in was quick. Close to Liseberg.

Cabins smelled stale, windows wouldn't open, found a used tobacco pouch next to my pillow on the windowsill. Check in was handled by someone on a phone that doesn't speak any western language. Our two cabins were far apart. Albeit designated space for a fridge, there was none. Small things like soap holder, shower head holder and waste bucket was broken, but partially functional. Expensive parking at P-arken next ship down. No bar, cafe or restaurant on board. Only one place on the pier nearby. Street works makes it impossible to navigate by car using GPS.

I liked staying on the boat but one problem was the lack of staff when I arrived

See above

This is historical place...tail boat from 1907y. What to say more

Extermal personel which make a service after working hour. Its a stresfull when you like get in to hotel and someone in intercom told you that yout reservation and your room dosnt exist.
