The views of the river were breathtaking. However, the room felt cramped and lacked adequate ventilation.

The key details you’re looking for

The location places you right by nightlife and key transport options. Cozy rooms provide privacy at a reasonable price, making it an excellent value.

Rooms can feel tight and quirky may not suit everyone. Shared facilities require some renovation attention for a better experience.

Staying on the Shipotel was a unique experience. The view of the Spree from my private cabin was stunning, especially during sunrise. I appreciated the cozy vibe created by the decor and furnishings. The staff was really helpful when I needed assistance with my luggage. I enjoyed the riverside terrace. it was a great spot for relaxing with a morning coffee. However, the room size felt cramped, which I expected but still found limiting at times. The shared bathrooms could use some updates. better ventilation would really improve comfort. Also, late-night noise from nearby parties disrupted my sleep a few times. Overall, the location was excellent, with easy access to public transport and nearby attractions.

Amazing views by Eastside Gallery.

The room had a nice vibe, but the boat was a bit cramped.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to Warschauer Str. station, offering many transport options.

The bathroom was really tiny and not very well-ventilated, which made it feel a bit uncomfortable at times.

rooftop terrace, riverside views, unique hotel concept

Shared bathrooms need an update!!! Blackout blinds for complete darkness would be ideal, as the curtains allow too much light in during the morning. The room gets really hot, a fan would improve comfort significantly!!!

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to Warschauer Str. station, offering many transport options. I enjoyed free coffee every morning and relaxing on the upper deck with beautiful views of the East Side Gallery.

Bathroom ventilation could be improved.

Enjoyed the calming atmosphere of the cabin with lovely views of the river. The staff were genuinely friendly, creating a welcoming vibe. Whole experience was enhanced by the spacious common lounge with unlimited free coffee. Just a note, the plug near the mirror was inconvenient for hair styling.

The room was so practical it screamed ‘just here to sleep’—quite the bore. The only extra excitement was me counting the train passes at night. Who knew that would be my entertainment?

The location is fantastic with stunning views of the river Spree. I enjoyed friendly service from the staff, who made my stay comfortable and pleasant. I loved relaxing on the beautiful outside deck, taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Berlin.

Room could use better ventilation.

beautiful waterside views, friendly staff, and peaceful nights at this unique floating hostel

Staying at the Shipotel-Berlin Gmbh, Shipotel Eastern & Shipotel Western felt like a dream! The outstanding views of the iconic Oberbaum bridge were breathtaking. The friendly and welcoming staff truly made me feel at home during my entire stay. I also loved that the ship is conveniently located near great local bars and clubs, making it easy to immerse myself in Berlin's vibrant nightlife.

The room was decent but could use some upgrades. The carpet felt old, not the wooden floors I expected. The bed wasn’t the comfiest, and noise was an issue from nearby parties. However, it was super close to the East Side Gallery and had good transport links. The staff were really helpful, which made things a bit better.
