Ivelina 10/10
Bulgaria 🇧🇬

Pros: I loved the view and the location! It was a clean, renovated and pleasant as well as a warm and cosy room.There is a nice shower cabin and a small sink in the private bathroom adjacent to the room.You can find all you need in the shared kitchen which boasts lovely interior, a lot of greenery and an aquarium with two funny lazy turtles. Wifi is available and the staff is really polite and helpful. It's worth staying there- a place which definitely exceeded our expectations! It is both comfortable and cheap hostel -a way better than many hotels. I strongly recommend it!

An Unforgettable Stay at The Boat

Pros: From the very first moment, my stay at The Boat – Hostel & Chill was truly exceptional. The kindness, friendliness, and genuine warmth of the staff were outstanding — always smiling, helpful, and ready to make me feel at home. One of the absolute highlights was the boat experience on the river. Gliding along the water was magical and offered a unique and peaceful perspective of the city. It made my stay feel special and unforgettable. I was also pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a room with a river view. Waking up to the calm movement of the water right outside my window was a wonderful touch and a clear sign of the care and generosity of the place. The Boat – Hostel & Chill is not just a place to sleep, but a real experience — unique, relaxing, and made exceptional by the people who run it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something truly special.

Nice boat stay for excellent price!

Pros: Very clean and well taken care of. The cabin and the toilette were spacious for a boat. I’ve stayed in other similar boats in other cities and this boat comes on top. There is also a nice panoramic glass view at the end of the corridors.

Cons: I have no complaints. I’m satisfied what i got for the price paid.

Interesting place to stay, not expensive and convenient location (apart from the parking)

Pros: Great idea for something a little different, location good, walkable to the historic centre. Bar on the top deck was a great bonus. Lounge area with free hot drinks a nice touch.

Cons: If arriving by car the parking is difficult due to the confusing road layout and heavy traffic, but when I finally found the car parking it was ok, about 5 minutes walk to the 'boatel'. A small parking discount is available (get the hotel reception to stamp the parking ticket). No breakfast available although you can make your own hot drinks (free) and use a communal fridge.
