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 #### Stuart Sep 20, 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 Sep 17, 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.

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 ##### Raindancer Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alejandra Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Amenities Sleep on a noat ##### Alejandra Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Comfortable stay, quite.

No reception, no bar ##### Catherine Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Steven Oct 2, 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 ### 8/10 Good #### James Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helle Mar 20, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service Service does not exist. It's self-service even when you check in. But the boat is cosy in its own way. ##### Helle Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anders May 12, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Funny house Here you get a two for one deal! Both a room and amusement park funny house. Floor extremely sloping and no bother to adapt the legs of the bed. Feet 5 cm higher than the head and sideways slope far worse so that you have to struggle against rolling over. TV some very old stuff with a separate receiver - of cause not working. ##### Anders Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elsa Jun 3, 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sean Jul 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5e8fa411-cf93-4ea4-b6ec-c98f3e55af84-1751807358626.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b8b546d3-1ae1-4d2d-b505-b61599a10707-1751807358778.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marilyn Feb 15, 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Salt Spring Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Salt-Spring-Island-Hotels.d601381.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Copenhagen](https://www.expedia.ca/Copenhagen-Hotels.d178252.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Cypress Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Cypress-Mountain-Hotels.0-l6089631-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d178296-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sun Dek Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Sun-Dek-Motel.h5121598.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Jamaica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d88-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Wainwright](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Wainwright.h42507217.Hotel-Information) > > [Gothia Towers & Upper House](https://www.expedia.ca/Gothenburg-Hotels-Gothia-Towers.h24747.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lima](https://www.expedia.ca/Lima-Hotels.d178277.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Innisfail](https://www.expedia.ca/Innisfail-Hotels.d181741.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Wolfville](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels.d6058270.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Etobicoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Etobicoke-Toronto-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-n10207-0-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/tpa/buffalo-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Palm Springs (PSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/psp/ottawa-to-palm-springs) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/mex/montreal-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Chihuahua (CUU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/cuu/winnipeg-to-chihuahua) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/msp/vancouver-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to British Columbia (YZZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yzz/edmonton-to-trail) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Ladyville (BZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bze/montreal-to-belize-city) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Moscow (SVO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/svo/montreal-to-moscow) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Cranbrook (YXC) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxc/yow/cranbrook-to-ottawa) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Montreal.d178288.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Chicago.d178248.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit St. Helier](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Helier.dx4306)
