Pros:

It's an amazing place if you want to stay in Ruse in a bit untraditional setting. The hotel offers cozy and well maintained rooms overlooking the river. There's a free parking nearby, and the location is easily accessible both when coming from Romania or Bulgaria.
The staff is very friendly and the check-in and check-out were a breeze.
I'll definitely stay there the next time I visit Ruse.

Pros:

The food was excellent, the manager and waiting staff who could speak English were fantastic. The location was all I could ask for.

Cons:

Parking was a struggle. Access to the boat is nigh-on impossible for anyone with mobility issues. Anyone around 2 metres in height risk damage to the top of their heads from ceiling fittings that don't even hang down very far!

Even for a cabin on a boat, I found the room size too small.

The beds were too short for me, and the mattresses offered no support.

Pros:

Да спиш на кораб си е страхотно преживяване! Съотношението цена - качество е чудесно!

Cons:

Каютата беше доста тясна за двама души, но това го знаехме още преди да резервираме, защото е добре комуникирано. Имаше паяжини в стаята.

Pros:

Изживяването беше хубаво, човек се наспива добре чувайки вълните на леко люлеещ се кораб.

Cons:

Не мисля, ще имаше нещо, което да не ми е харесало.

Nice and personal way to accommodate in Ruse.
Pros:

Nice and personal place. Very friendly staff. Good restaurant. Room, or should I say cabin as it's a river cruiser, was small but practical. It had everything needed.

Cons:

Wall to wall carpet everywhere gave me little sniffy nose, as I'm slightly allergic. Not any real problem.

V Ruse na lodi
Pros:

Toto bolo naše prvé ubytovanie na lodi. Kajuta bola síce malá a pohyb v nej niekedy problematický, ale dalo sa to vydržať. Zariadenie obsahovalo všetko potrebné a pohľad z okna (boli sme ubytovaní na prvej palube) na zapadajúce slnko nad Dunajom čarovný.

Cons:

Priamo to nesúvisí s kvalitou hotelu. Pri pontóne, cez ktorý sme sa dostávali na loď bolo naplavené drevo a rôzny odpad, ktorý nepôsobil práve vizuálne inšpirujúco.
