It's low value for money. It smelled toxic, bathroom was upstairs and the mattress was horrible. So, yeah. Staff was cute.

Have to say I was a little disappointed with my stay here. The location was great and was the best thing in my option. The atmosphere was very disappointing in my opinion. There weren’t many younger people out and about and mainly was just older couples on vacation. Nothing wrong with that just not what I was looking for in a hostel. It was also hard to sleep with a window that could not be closed and loud speakers right outside until 4am.

Great atmosphere and nice people. Super location ! But the room on the top floor feels more like a room in a bar rather than a hostel with a bar. I guess this problem is not really there for all the other rooms but this one is not so great. And sharing toilets directly with the bar was really unpleasant, being looked at weirdly by the customer getting drunk when I was brushing my teeth...

Wir hatten eine Doppelkabine mit Badezimmer zur Kaiseite hin - weil knapp gebucht. Wir waren super zufrieden mit dem gesamten Ablauf. Gute Anbindung in alle Richtungen. Die Kabine war sauber & schön gestaltet - eine Kajute halt. Und da gibt es die eine Einschränkung, dass man sowohl mit der Länge des Bettes als, auch der Höhe der Dusche als großer Mensch (>188 cm), Probleme hat hineinzupassen. Die Rezeption ist jederzeit besetzt. Es gibt Kaffee und Tee in der Lobby ohne Bezahlung. Gerne wi...

We had a Double Cabin with Bathroom to Kaiseite - because it was just booked. We were super happy with the whole process. Good connection in all directions. The cabin was clean & beautifully designed - a cabin stop. And there is a restriction that you can fit in both with the length of the bed and the height of the shower as a big man (>188 cm), no problems. The reception is always full. There is coffee and tea in the lobby without payment. Gerne wieder!

Great place to stay when visiting Berlin, excellent location close to the East Side Gallery, good transit links, and Kreuzberg neighborhood (funky with lots of restaurants and bars). The boat/hotel is clean, well kept, and the staff are excellent. Very good value for the money. Only note: bathrooms are a bit small, but this is a boat, after all, so just a "characteristic" not a "fail" (I was fine with the bathroom space.) The next time we are in Berlin, I will definitely want to stay here again.

We only stayed one night, but really enjoyed the property! Super easy to head to all the tourists destinations and across the bridge were really great restaurants! Great size rooms and lots of amenities they offer such as blow dryers. Beds were comfy. could get a little loud at night if you were facing the shore, but nothing too disruptive. Will be back for a longer stay!

You need to stay 1 night here while seeing the east wall gallery - there are some great places like monster Ronson karaoke and AvA which is sometimes free before midnight if you get an online ticket

If you are looking for a unique hostel experience this is definitely the place for you. Surprisingly quiet and very well staffed. It is an older (but well maintained!) boat so size your expectations accordingly. It's not a luxury cruise but actually nicer than I expected. Quiet, and warm in the winter!

Absolutely loved our stay on the boat. If I could give the staff 10 stars I would they were absolutely amazing and the location was unbeatable. I was slightly worried bc it was further out but East Boston is where you wanna stay. Lovey stay! (Two female travelers. Stayed in a double private room)

Location was great, east side gallery is right outside the door and the main train station is right up the street. Lounge looked like it would have been nice, but it was closed…on the weekend. It only opened up for a comedy show, and that’s not an environment for meeting fellow travellers. Wifi worked 50% of the time, and didn’t work at all the rest of the time. Bathrooms were nice, showers were okay, but the communal hand towel in the bathrooms is kinda gross. Overall good stay.
