This place is ridiculously awesome. Such a fun place to stay and such a short walk from the Viking line terminal. They have free breakfast, a museum, great space on the deck to go outside and a dance floor and bar that probably operates during non covid summer season.

This boat carries some history. Now a hostel. And serve lunch...its beautiful place for those who like cozy....small rooms.. wonderful staffs ... If you are alone or with friends this place is for you...
Good value for money. Located around museum ships. She's old ship, thus patina of time can be seen in everything. Clean and everything works. You need to make your own bed. Very basic Continental breakfast, only bare essentials :)
Nicely restored old passenger vessel. Partly a good quality hostel and partly a museum ship included to Forum Marinum.
Fantastic location. Tasty and fresh croissants. Experience of then current time and even a museum. Not sure I would stay over night though.
Fine for a night, not for anything longer. Really dissapointing, we were trapped in here for a week for our summer school accommodation. Someone thought it would be an immersion experience into the maritime past of Turku. But really its not a real hostel, it just feels like a mental hospital ship, with tiny rooms with no ability to get fresh air, artificial ventilation is extremely poor. The kitchen has no stove, oven or any view to the outside world, there is a constant drone of the artificial ventilation system. Cleanliness is certainly not their strong point, floor surfaces look like they are barely vacuumed let alone washed. The while facility is extremely dated, and I question if it is even safe, while we were there it was flooding. No refund or any form of compensation was offered. "Common rooms" are inadequate and certainly not attractive to people to hang out, what space could be somewhat suitable closes early, around 20:00 everywhere there are signs telling you what to do. Mostly the place smells of wet dog, and while I was there were petroleum fumes in the ship from painting of this wretched ship. It would be more suitable as a dive wreck at the bottom of the Baltic than as accommodation. It is a terrible blight on visitors impressions of Turku.
When you do like special places to stay, this one is definitely something you shouldn't miss! As accommodation it is somewhere between hostel and hotel, of cause you can not expect the luxury of a star-hotel, the cabins are small but fine, have everything you need, could be a bit cleaner, but the service generally was very friendly and helpful! Worth mentioning here is the very good breakfast buffet! Also the museum next to the hotel with it's impressive collection of ships creates a nice atmosphere :)
One of Turku's Icons. You have not visited turku before visiting there.
