We loved our time on this boat! It was a fun experience and something different than just a traditional hotel. Breakfast was good and good sized bathrooms and showers. What made it extra special was the staff. Both gentleman who we interacted with were super nice and funny, making the experience that much better. Plus we entered our rooms to find ear plugs and a small bag of gummy bears which was awesome. Would definitely stay again.

Unique experience to sleep on a ship. You have to deal with a shower and toilet outside of your room, but after all it's a ship. Water plenty and hot however, everything is clean and I liked the sleeping experience a lot. Quiet, but it can get cook a bit. Excellent and very reasonably priced breakfast buffet, bicycle rental on the ship. Call before you book, the staff was very friendly, to say it in German: "rauh aber herzlich". Clear recommendation if you get the room for a reasonable price and if you don't expect the four seasons it's worth spending one or two nights there.

Das Personal war sehr nett, die Zimmer natürlich erwas klein (immerhin ist es ja ein Schiff) und eher funktional ausgestattet. Die Heizung war im Winter absolut notwendig, zuerst hatte uch sie übersehen und das wäre tatsächlich sehr kalt geworden. Das Frühstück sah gut aus, ich hatte jedoch nicht selbst vor Ort gegessen. Es gab einen Wasserautomaten und man konnte auch Kleinigkeiten und Getränke kaufen. Die Lage ist natürlich auch nicht direkt im Zentrum, aber die Sbahn ist ca. Zehn Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Zum Boot führt auch ein schöner Spazierweg mit toller Aussicht auf die Altstadt. Und im Sommer kann man bestimmt schön auf dem Boot sitzen. Beu der Ankunft war ich mir bezüglich der Lage etwas unsicher, da es doch sehr dunkel war und ich alleune unterwegs war. Es war jedoch eine Wohngegend mit vielen Spaziergängern und Radfahrern.
