Clean comfy and quiet.
Pros:

Very quiet and peaceful

Cons:

Sadly our arrival was delayed- and it was wet, and the after hours reception was somewhat blunt. Maybe it was a language thing. It’s also a bit removed from the city centre which the rainy-weather didn’t help us to appreciate. Lack of tea and coffee making facilities in the cabin detracted a bit too.

Pros:

Easy 12 min walk from boat to old town centre. Helpful staff gave directions for this walk.
A great point of difference to stay on a boat compared with hotels and apartments.

A different experience at unbelievable prices
Pros:

- The interiors, storage spaces, washrooms and heating.
- There was no breakfast (or I did not choose the option with breakfast).
- Wifi was functional and stable.
- Staff were very polite and helpful.
- The facility is well-maintained.
- Beautiful view from the room.
- The room tariff was far cheaper than expected, probably due to the off season.

Cons:

- The room heats up fast and feel stuffy. Only a minor drawback.
- Gets difficult to access the city during rains. The staff were very helpful in calling a cab which came in a matter of few minutes. Just a minor hiccup in an otherwise wonderful stay.

Pros:

Страхотно място с отлична локация. Храната и обслужването в ресторанта бяха на много високо ниво. Целият персонал е изключително любезен, отзивчив и усмихнат.

Cons:

Цяла вечер се включва и изключва някакъв агрегат ли, какво е не знам, но пречи на съня.

Pros:

De verrassende locatie voldeed aan onze verwachtingen, het personeel was vriendelijk en de maaltijden goed. Sommige kajuiten zijn wel wat krap.

Klimat '80, jest ok!
Pros:

Kajuty skromne, ale w klimacie. Wszystko zatrzymało się w latach 80, ale też za takie pieniądze nie oczekiwałem cudów. Fajnie, że jest spoty parking darmowy.

Mal was anderes-wir würden wieder buchen!
Pros:

Am Schiff gibt es ein ausgezeichnetes Speiselokal. Sehr gute Küche, große Auswahl (auch vegetarisch) Die Preise sind gut, nur die Getränke teuer. Aber auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Cons:

Da das Restaurant lange offen hat, die Schiffswände sehr dünn sind, ist es ziemlich laut.

Pros:

Die Möglichkeit auf einem Schiff zu übernachten fanden wir einmalig toll.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns absolut wohl gefühlt.
Preis Leistungsverhältnis war hervorragend.
Am besten hat uns der Abend im Restaurant bei sehr leckeren Essen und toller Atmosphäre gefallen.
Tagsüber haben wir uns auf Deck im Liegestuhl entspannt
Wir waren begeistert.

Cons:

Wenn die Kabinen etwas besser ausgestattet wären, könnten wir uns dort einen längeren Urlaub vorstellen.
