Miserable, cramped, cold. AVOID AT ALL COST.
Location of the boat was near Nordstan and Gothenburg station.
The boat was so cramped and small, if you are above 160cm your head will touch the ceiling. We spent the entire duration inside the boat crouching so we wouldn't bang our heads on the ceiling and walls. The toilet was built beside the main bedroom so it was very smelly. The entrance to the boat was a bunch of wooden planks taped together with duct tape, anyone could've just gotten into the boat, even strangers in the middle of the night. The listing is also inaccurate: Bedroom 1 Extra-large double bed was the size of a normal single bed. Bedrooms 2 and 3 don't exist because they're not rooms, just holes in the boat beside the engine with a thin mattress. You can see the picture for the "entrance" and the 2 bedrooms. The "bed" in bedroom 3 was covered with a vacuum and a mop. The "living room" is just the center of the ship and the "sofa beds" are just 2 thin mattresses that were probably 150cm long, my friends had to curl themselves just so they could fit on the "sofa beds". Good luck getting a single second of sleep in the boat. How on earth is this listing APPROVED by booking.com is beyond me, it's a health and safety hazard. Please do not stay here it was a miserable experience.

If you want to stay in an abandoned boat, that’s your chance.
It’s a rundown sailing boat, if you are familiar with simple boat life or camping you can handle it. The infrastructure of the port (power/wifi/toilet/shower) is ok.
The front door was broken and anyway not suitable for colder temperature. I had to fix it with tape so the wind wouldn’t come in. No one cleaned after the last guest and it wasn’t clear with bed linens were used. The boat isn’t isolated in the slightest, you can see trough holes at some places. You don’t want to stay there if it gets to freezing temperatures.

Maximum 1 night
It was cheap
- WiFi didn’t work - didn’t know how the toilet worked - everything was dirty - was smaller then the pictures seemed -one of us got a big fat splinter from the floor - there was a small leak in the top of the boat roof which made the sheets wet

Querky stay on a boat in the heart of the city
- If you like camping, you will enjoy the stay. If not, this may not be for you (making your beds etc) - Staying on a boat, in the heart of Gothenburg is pretty querky - The captain was always available 24/7 - The shower facilities are good
- Wi-Fi on the boat was a little hit and miss - Although it can sleep 5, if you have a big bag that takes up a lot of your space. Our second visit we worked out how to spread things out (first time we arrived after midnight so it was hard to get our bearings)

Very Bad Boat - Everyone Stay Away - The Captain is a Cheat
Nothing. The boat was located in the pier away from all the facilities. It is a very small boat
We had booked this boat for 5 of us. The boat cannot accommodate more than 2 people. All the information and photos given are not true although the picture of the boat Vega 2 is the right one. The boat had no electricity and the Captain was not willing to help other than pointing me to the info map. Very poorly maintained, the boat was dirty and not suitable for stay. Definitely not for 5 people. They have cheated us of the money and I would not recommend anyone to stay on this boat. After 1 hour when there was no help forthcoming, we had to book a new hotel and move out of the boat. We lost all our money.
9.0 / 10.0
Uncomfortable but adventurous
Exciting and unusual. You really sleep inside a small floating boat. It's not comfortable, but it's not meant to be. A good choice if you're looking for a camping-like adventure rather than a luxurious stay. For €17 I thought it was a great experience.
When I asked if it was possible to store my luggage a few hours before check-in, the host said I could do so for free if I gave them a 10-star review (or pay €30 extra). It's unprincipled to ask the guest for a review before the stay takes place.
