Located at Mühlenstraße 73, 10243 Berlin, Germany, the hotel offers an excellent base for guests looking to immerse themselves in the local culture, history, and nightlife. Just a short 6-minute walk from an U-Bahn station, Shipotel-Berlin provides easy access to all the major attractions of Berlin, including the Brandenburg Gate, which is just 6 km away. The surrounding area is known for its lively techno clubs, such as the iconic Berghain, along with Soviet-era buildings and the East Side Gallery, a must-see conservation of graffiti covering part of the Berlin Wall. The hotel’s design features functional, cabin-style dormitories and private rooms, making it a cozy and affordable option for travelers. The vessel itself offers a relaxed, casual atmosphere with modern amenities, ensuring that every guest enjoys a comfortable and enriching experience. With free Wi-Fi available throughout the ship, guests can stay connected while enjoying the tranquil riverside views. The hotel's seasonal campsite on the deck provides a unique experience for those looking to sleep under the stars during warmer months. A bar is also available for guests to unwind after a day of exploring the city. For those looking to explore Berlin in style, the hotel offers bike rentals (for an additional fee), allowing guests to pedal through the city's diverse neighborhoods and iconic landmarks. Breakfast is also available to start the day off right, adding to the convenience of the stay. While Shipotel-Berlin does not offer a fitness center, spa, pool, or hot tub, its focus on comfort, affordability, and a friendly atmosphere makes it a highly recommended choice for those seeking a laid-back Berlin experience. Guests of the hotel have praised the excellent service provided by the staff, the relaxed shipboard ambiance, and the opportunity to stay in a one-of-a-kind location on the river.

A unique hotel in a unique place. I recommend it, it's not often you can spend the night on a ship in the city center

There is more space in a 1-person room than in a 3-person room and both have 3 beds. That just doesn't make sense. All rooms are much too small. Still very nice staff and very cool terrace.

Forget about sleeping a little longer, if someone speaks in the aisle it is like they are speaking in your room.Check-in can take time as it is 4pm and people waiting in the reception will make a small group eventually.Staff is friendly

The boat is extremely well placed, near the metro, the Berghain, the wall, and the kebab area for when you return with the slab.The room is small but functional, it's not 5 stars but everything was clean and with character.Impeccable service even if I didn't need it.The mood of the boat was extremely cool, I loved hanging out on the balconies and terraces with a beer and/or coffee.I will definitely go back

I was a little skeptical at first, but looking back it was really cool. Were a group of “boys” who were in Berlin to celebrate. On the boat you meet people with whom you can have a quick beer on deck. Staff very nice and hardworking. The rooms are of course not particularly large or spectacularly furnished, but are sufficient for sleeping and sobering up. The sanitary facilities could probably be renovated. If not, I can ignore it (unlike my girlfriend). You just can't expect the Ritz. Pleasant stay in a great location. Of course you notice the hustle and bustle outside, but that's what you're there for. Gladly again
