There were bright lights on the deck of the ship and the curtains didn't block out any light. The sauna also wasn't working which was quite a disappointment.

Staying on the S/S Bore was a really cool experience! I had a room to myself for a fantastic price, with a shower and bathroom in the room. The breakfast was absolutely amazing!

The bathroom felt a bit untidy, but still fine. The morning sauna was not working. And the room ventilation made some noise.

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.

My first room doesn't have a room but the bed is super. Only the bed is too low so you can not sit there. You have a only choice - sleep. When I found the bathroom can not be used they helped me to change a room. This time the room has the window and the space is better. But the bed is somehow one side up one side down. So I can not sleep so good. Whatever, the cost is good and I can not blame at it.

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.

Ok. There were a couple of moments: There is only one power outlet in the cabin. Quite small cabin. But I knew what before our stay and wasn't surprised. Anyway the atmosphere is great.

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.

Close with vikingline office and turku castle, give breakfast in early morning(6:30~).

Breakfast was a bit disappointing, very limited selection but great if you like salty porridge.

It's a novelty place to stay, and while it is a bit far from the city centre it is perfect for an overnight stopover if you happen to be arriving by the Viking Line Ferry. The room is small but more than suitable for solo travellers and my room came with a porthole. (It didn't open and only provided a view of the port customs but hey it was novel enough.) Good WiFi and very friendly and hospitable staff.

Lovely atmosphere! I really enjoyed. Location is excellent: free parking and well-connected by bus(5 min ride) to the city centre.

The cabin was very warm and I was not aware of any possibility of setting the temperature. If there is any, please indicate more clearly.

Its a ship!

The floor of the shower had a few broken tiles and the soundproofing could've been slightly better.

The location was great for the city vacation we had, the rooms were exactly as promised, the staff was friendly as well as helpful. The breakfast served had a good variety of foods, and everything tasted fresh. All in all, the hostel provided what it promised for a very affordable price, and we will be visiting it again in the future.

smelly carpet

breakfast, location, general vibe, affordability.

Well, the room was just a small cabin - I knew what I could expect but I was quite shocked seeing I was not able to close the toilet doors because it's been blocked by the bed. Also the bed was not very comfy. There was only one outlet and basically it made it not very comfortable to use the phone while charing

I chose this place to get some unique experience - it's the main reason why worth of consideration. I found some joy in exploring the ship as such. Nice surroundings. Breakfasts were ok - many options, nice dining room.

In my room, there was occasionally a bad smell (from sewer?)

It was close to the castle but far from the city centre.

It's a unique experience staying in a former war ship.

Stayed in August 2023

The cabin was the smallest ever and was located on the lower deck. Very narrow corridors and steep stairways; be aware if you have big suitcases.

A charming ”old school” cruising vessel. Close to the city, the castle and the harbour terminals.

Good location for the ferry to Stockholm.

PowerPoint was 5ft from the ground - luckily I had long cords and a stool I could sit everything on. Check out was 11am and someone started making grinding noises outside my room before that. Yes it’s late morning, but if I could have been sleeping for as long as possible. Shower is very awkward. No room to move and the shower curtain sticks to you.

Unique setting, reasonable pricing, good cold breakfast selection, friendly staff, they checked me in very early after I arrived from the 7:30am ferry from Stockholm, which was a blessing!

Rooms are small, no separation between toilet and shower (such as a shower cabine or curtains)

Cheap, good location nice idea of using ship as hotel

Stayed in August 2023

shower place is really very small but better than sharing with some other

You need more time for find your room in this big boat, but it was fun stay over night :) breakfast was good

No Windows, but that is normal in a boat cabin.

Nice atmophere staying on a boat. Good breakfest.

Fun place for one night and for just trying it out.

Only one plug to charge phone etc...

A very cool experience. Small cabins with all you need. Very comfortable beds and good lightning. Nice small sauna only in the morning between 6-10. The breakfast was nice and simple. Everything in walking distance along the sea side.

Stayed in August 2023

Lack of sockets in the cabin. There was only one. Otherwise you get what you have paid for.

Breakfast was neat and fresh. The room or the cabin to be more precise was tiny enough to fit someone with suitcase and a backpack. Bathroom and towels were clean and the personnel was really helpful and friendly. Location is perfect if you're planning on going to a ferry trip on the next day. It's a 10-15 walk.

Stayed in August 2023

Room was basic and had no windows. It might get stuffy there. Bed was too soft to me.

It is alright. We stayed there because of location. Viking terminal is nearby.
