    The atmosphere on the boat is really nice. Sleeping a night there makes your city trip feel immediately longer and more exotic. Rooms where really authentic oldschool boat cabins - I liked that. Breakfast was good.

    The location. If you turn to the port or the destination of Turku that's a hotel very close to them. Also you can take the bus easily to the city center or Helsinki. The equipment is good for a boat. Living in a museum is very interesting.

    Very nice old ship. Exceptional atmosphere of good old times. For us, it was an excellent location. Right in front of Forum Marinum Museum. Good breakfast.
