Eastern & Western Comfort Hostelboat

Very good receptionists at day time

The egg's freshlyness at breakfast should be checked more often. I trhow up once because of this

We stayed on the Eastern Boat, which was a very special experience and the whole place had a fantastic ambiance overall. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The cabin was cozy, maybe a little chilly during our stay in February, but definitely not too cold. The beds were comfortable and warm. Our cabin had its own tiny bathroom, which was enough for our needs. The boat doesn't sway or rock in the river, or at least we didn't feel it, so don't worry about getting sea sick. The location of the boat is fantastic, directly next to the East Side Gallery, with bus and S-Bahn stops nearby to make getting into the city centre easy (Alexanderplatz only 3 stops away). There were also some great breakfast/lunch/dinner options within walking distance. If you are lucky, you can get a cabin with a view of the river, but the other side of the boat was lovely as well, especially with the resting places for river birds directly in front of the window (we had some cute coots greet us every morning). A big highlight for us was the lounge on the top floor of the boat, with affordable drinks and some snack options in the form of cakes and soups. We were also lucky enough to attend a stand-up comedy event hosted on site, which was a ton of fun and free for guests of the hotel.

The bathroom floor was very cold. The river had quite some litter in it in plain view from our cabin. Breakfast seemed a little overpriced for what they were offering, so we opted for the nearby bakeries instead.

An amazing experience. We loved it. Staff really friendly and helpful.
