sites

This historic ship hotel offers a truly unique experience, appealing to sightseers and budget travelers seeking a quirky stay in a central location. While many guests appreciate its good value and the novelty of staying on a vessel, feedback on breakfast and self-service check-in is mixed. The hotel's charm lies in its maritime setting, providing a memorable alternative to conventional accommodations. To ensure a smooth arrival, guests should be prepared for the self-check-in process and be aware that the ship's design means some floors and beds may have a slight tilt, adding to its distinctive character. Despite some operational quirks, the hotel remains a popular choice for those prioritizing location and a one-of-a-kind stay.
