Positive: I haven't reach the breakfast as I was sleeping late... I loved the atmosphere and surroundings of the property. I woke up feeling refreshed and inspired, and I slept very well. Overall, it was a very relaxing two-night stay.
Negative: However, I had several issues during check-in and with room access. I had to change my key card three to four times. When I first entered my assigned room, it was not clean or ready—the bed had not been changed, and it felt as if someone might still have been occupying the room. This happened after I had already returned to reception once because the key card was not working and I could not open the door. There was no staff present at the reception desk, and I had to wait quite a long time on the phone to reach someone. When I was moved to another room, the key card did not work again, so the same process of calling and waiting was repeated. The next day, even though I had already extended my stay for another night, a staff member attempted to open my door while I was still in bed sleeping, likely to clean the room. Fortunately, I had placed a chair behind the door. Despite these issues, the overall stay was pleasant and good value for the money. One thing worth noting is that there was no staff to welcome guests upon arrival, and there was no clear explanation in the booking information about the self check-in process or what to expect when arriving.
Summary: Great relaxing inspiring stay...

Positive: Everything about it: the concept, the ambiance and the room. I just love the quietness of the room so I did write a lot. I’m an author so I love the setting having my room floating on the sea. https://substack.com/@ambianceofchaos/note/c-188376070?r=6ngc7y&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action
Negative: When key cards are not working and have to be put on in a card reader to reactivate again and again. I went literally 6 times to open two different rooms… First room was not ready, when I finally managed to open the door with the key, then the second room: key not working twice. The door in the room should have key chain, I put chair in front of the door so no one can just walk in or open it while I’m sleeping: the morning, housekeeping just almost burst in without knocking. No information that I extend my stay. All in all, everything is good and what a pleasure to stay.
Summary: Relaxing, worth the money, healing.

Positive: The “Viking Ship hotel” was a great experience and learning the ship’s history made it even more enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic, very extensive selection of hot and cold food. The location was excellent. A relatively short walk from the central station and you could walk to most of the cities attractions.
Negative: There was no floor mat or hand towels in the bathroom and the two bath towels provided were old. The TV was a bit of a challenge to operate and there were no English channels that we could find (this is not a real problem)
Summary: A great short stay on the waterfront.

Positive: Being on the boat was a fun experience. The location was perfect with easy access to the center of town on foot, bus and tram.
Negative: Unfortunately the plumbing was not very good and the shower would flood the entire bathroom. The ceiling was also very low for those sleeping in the upper bunk bed.
