Hébergement tout à fait original :-) C'est un moment d'aventure de dormir dans ce bateau. Une expérience à vivre vraiment.
Demander une chambre avec hublot...même si on ne sait pas voir grand chose ;-)
Bonne insonorisation, par contre pour la douche, c'est comme à l'époque...il n'y a pas d'eau chaude!! Mais bon, ça fait sans doute partie de l'expérience et on est bien en forme du coup.
Petit déjeuner très bien et très copieux pour une auberge de jeunesse.
Servi dans une grande salle de 6h30 à 10h.

Hotelli täysin minun makuun. Siisti, ihana aamiainen, rauhallista, mukava henkilökunta. Kodikas tunnelma vaikka onkin laiva.

Kesähelteellä melko kuuma kokemus, mutta kaikenkaikkiaan varsin viehättävä paikka yöpyä.

Hinta kohdillaan, yö tuli nukuttua kakaran kanssa asiallisesti. Aamupala ihan ok. Ilmanvaihto voisi olla parempi - ainakin hytissä, jossa nukuin, oli aamulla melkoisen tunkkainen haju ja nihkeä kosteus heti herätessä. Kokonaisuutena tosi jees.

When it says "hostel" right on the label, it's reasonable to expect a spartan environment. The S/S Bore is exactly what it says; a private room really is a narrow cabin in a retired Baltic steamship. That said, there *is* a private bathroom and shower (extremely small but it's your own.) The biggest issue was the stagnant air in the room. My stateroom was in a lower deck and really hot. Upper decks were cooler. It was unseasonably warm in Turku during my stay, and the room never dropped below 80F / 27C. The porthole (not a window, a real porthole) could not be opened, and the solid door did not allow any air to enter the room when closed. Even though the air extractor in the ceiling and bathroom were both running, there was no place for cool air to enter. It was stifling.
Other things to know: bedding is provided, but you make your own bed upon arrival. There's no traditional room cleaning. Overall the room was clean but the carpet was better without close inspection. There was only one electrical outlet in the room and one in the tiny bathroom, so hopefully you only need to plug in one device.
Breakfast is included and serviceable in the scandanavian/make-a-sandwich kind of way.
Would I stay there again? Well, I needed to be close to the Turku castle for a music festival so the location was ideal, and the price was right even when all the traditional hotels were ridiculously overpriced, so well, yes, maybe I would. But I'd really want a fan in the summer.

Great for the retro-kind-of-stay. This ship has probably been beautiful in its days. We stayed for three nights, which is a bit much for my taste and a place like this. The location is great (2 km from the center of the city) and along the pier that one would like to walk along anyway. Many restaurants for drinks along the way, also. The breakfast is basic, the coffee good. The rooms are small and will not serve for much more than a good night's sleep. The night was much more silent than I anticipated. The bathroom is so small you will not be able to have that shower you probably are used to.

La experiencia de dormir en el barco es interesante, la habitación es limpia y un poco estrecha, las camas son cómodas, el punto negativo es que tengas que hacerte tú mismo la cama. El desayuno es básico, pero estilo buffet. La ubicación está a unos 10 - 15 minutos a pie del centro de la ciudad y muy cerca del castillo, parking gratuito para los huéspedes.
