- Machev (10/5): - Стаята на Стоичков. Храната на кораба (една част от нея)беше не топла за обяд.
- Krasimir (10/5): - It's an amazing place if you want to stay in Ruse in a bit untraditional setting. The hotel offers cozy and well maintained rooms overlooking the river. There's a free parking nearby, and the location is easily accessible both when coming from Romania or Bulgaria.
The staff is very friendly and the check-in and check-out were a breeze.
I'll definitely stay there the next time I visit Ruse.
- Serge (10/5): Een ervaring rijker met op een boot te slapen, met fiets - Supervriendelijke mensen, fietsvriendelijk
- Dimitar Georgiev (7/5): -
- Robert (6/5): - The food was excellent, the manager and waiting staff who could speak English were fantastic. The location was all I could ask for. Parking was a struggle. Access to the boat is nigh-on impossible for anyone with mobility issues. Anyone around 2 metres in height risk damage to the top of their heads from ceiling fittings that don't even hang down very far!
Even for a cabin on a boat, I found the room size too small.
The beds were too short for me, and the mattresses offered no support.
- Roman (10/5): -
- Kristina (10/5): - Да спиш на кораб си е страхотно преживяване! Съотношението цена - качество е чудесно! Каютата беше доста тясна за двама души, но това го знаехме още преди да резервираме, защото е добре комуникирано. Имаше паяжини в стаята.

- Daniel (10/5): - Изживяването беше хубаво, човек се наспива добре чувайки вълните на леко люлеещ се кораб. Не мисля, ще имаше нещо, което да не ми е харесало.
- Yoana (10/5): - Чистотата!!!
- Seppo (9/5): Nice and personal way to accommodate in Ruse. - Nice and personal place. Very friendly staff. Good restaurant. Room, or should I say cabin as it's a river cruiser, was small but practical. It had everything needed. Wall to wall carpet everywhere gave me little sniffy nose, as I'm slightly allergic. Not any real problem.
- Efrem-Loke (8/5): V Ruse na lodi - Toto bolo naše prvé ubytovanie na lodi. Kajuta bola síce malá a pohyb v nej niekedy problematický, ale dalo sa to vydržať. Zariadenie obsahovalo všetko potrebné a pohľad z okna (boli sme ubytovaní na prvej palube) na zapadajúce slnko nad Dunajom čarovný. Priamo to nesúvisí s kvalitou hotelu. Pri pontóne, cez ktorý sme sa dostávali na loď bolo naplavené drevo a rôzny odpad, ktorý nepôsobil práve vizuálne inšpirujúco.

- dHouse (8/5): -
- Yoana (10/5): - Спокойна обстановка!
- Ginka (8/5): - Студио със спалня.Като за каюта е направо лукс, с 2 тоалетни и 2 бани , спалня две малки масички и една голяма под телевизора. С много гардероби. И гледка към реката - като на круйз!! Рецепционистката я нямаше когато пристигнахме и трябваше да ни настанят от ресторанта. Диспенсърате за сапун - 4 бр.бяха празни , купихме си.
- Giorgia Iv (10/5): - Наистина беше едно прекрасно изживяване престоят ни на кораба-хотел в Русе. Каютата ни беше чиста, поддържана, предлагаща всякакви удобства. Локацията е много добра и се намира на пешеходно разстояние от центъра на града. Ресторантът предлага вкусна храна. Служителите бяха много мили и отзивчиви. Огромно благодаря и до нови срещи. 😊
- Антон (10/5): -
- Cyril (10/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): Не пропускайте! - Мястото е чудесно и го препоръчвам горещо!
Разположен в реката създава усещането за пътуване и постоянно движение.
Персоналът е изключително любезен и усмихнат!
Закуската - забележителна и специално приготвена!
Чувствахме се като у дома си и като скъпи и ценени гости!
- Alessio (7/5): Il Boat Hotel Sofia è un bell'hotel, confortevole, ben localizzato, in una bella e accogliente città - La posizione è centrale, si raggiunge facilmente a piedi dalla piazza principale, il lungofiume è attrezzato e molto tranquillo. C'è un supermercato Lidl a due passi. Non c'è colazione (nemmeno a pagamento), ma esiste una macchina del caffè a disposizione in zona bar: compratevi una brioche e del pane al supermercato la sera precedente e potrete fare comodamente colazione nella nave il mattino seguente, con caffè, cappuccino, ecc. Le camere e i bagni sono puliti, così come le lenzuola e gli asciugamani forniti. La vista dalla 'finestra' della camera è notevole. Lo staff è cordiale e amichevole. L'ambiente è generalmente molto silezioso, a meno che... Le informazioni contenute nella pagina booking andrebbero aggiornate: chiedono di fare il check-in entro le 16 perché poi la reception rimane sguarnita. Il fatto che non vi sia qualcuno alla reception dalle 16 alle 8 del mattino seguente andrebbe specificato prima che si effettui la prenotazione, visto che è solo parzialmente rimborsabile. Oltretutto considerando che la porta d'ingresso principale rimane sempre aperta. Così come il fatto che non è prevista la possibilità di fare colazione, nemmeno a pagamento. Una reception sguarnita significa inoltre che l'eventuale presenza di ospiti rumorosi (alle cabine o al ristorante al piano superiore) può creare problemi. La prima delle due notti, purtroppo, un gruppo di bambini senza educazione (i cui genitori evidentemente ne sono totalmente sprovvisti a loro volta), a quanto pare ospiti del ristorante, ha corso per i corridoi e strillato in modo incessante ed infernale dalle 19 alle 23 ininterrottamente, rendendo impossibile stare in cabina e svolgere qualunque attività: impossibile dormire, impossibile chiacchierare, impossibile guardare la tv. La presenza di una persona alla reception avrebbe permesso di tenere la situazione sotto controllo. La sera successiva invece regnava la pace celestiale; c'era pure una receptoinist del ristorante all'ingresso. Ancora un paio di segnalazioni: dopo la prima notte non ci è stata rifatta la camera: normalmente chiedo che sia così, in soggiorni brevi; ma dovrebbe essere l'ospite a decidere, non lo staff. Infine: dovrebbe essere una struttura in cui è proibito fumare, ma evidentemente da quelle parti fumano tutti e odore di sigaretta, magari leggero, è purtroppo sempre presente. Questo andrebbe senz'altro migliorato.
- SILVIA (10/5): - Nehir manzarasına uyanmak harikaydı, odamız yeterli büyuklukte, temizdi. Çalısanlar çok kibar, kahvaltı yeterliydi
- Carlos (9/5): Algo diferente - Camarote de barco, sin lujos, con baño propio. Muy tranquilo y limpio. Nada que destacar

- Irina (10/5): Best hotel stay in a long time, also get the river view room - The location is perfect, right at the dock, on the Danube, it is very quiet and calm, but also the city center is very close. As you exit the boat hotel, there is a lovely promenade along the river which is very well lit and maintained.
The hotel staff is amazing, extremely polite, they never bother you, they are not rushing you with anything. The room is way better than I expected: after walking in the sun for some time, the cool AC in the room was like heaven, everything seems new and well maintained, the river view is perfect and serene, and the best part: they have two separate bathrooms, one for each guest.
Also the restaurant, Crazy Fish, which is on the deck of the boat is a very good restaurant with an elegant design.
I just want to add that I had forgotten a shirt in the room, and not only that the cleaning staff found it, but the management kept it for over a week until I contacted them. They communicated very efficiently, and exactly as they promised. Thank you again! The only thing that is missing is a mini-bar or a small fridge in the room. The food everywhere in Ruse is very good, so you will tend to order more food than needed, it would have been useful to be able to take the food to go and keep it in the fridge.

- Radostina (8/5): -
- Ghiocel Marius (10/5): Rămâne printre primele opțiuni pentru viitoarele excursii la Ruse. - Micul dejun foarte ieftin (10 leva), bun și suficient. Personalul este foarte amabil. Nu am de reproșat ceva anume.
- Vladislav (9/5): -
- uguraktas25 (10/5): - I really liked the vibe here before anything else. I’m happy with the price for what you get. I pass by this area all the time and this is my first time staying here. The staff is friendly and speaks English. The restaurant is nice and clean. I haven’t had a bad experience overall, this place is nice. The room is just super tiny and the bed ain’t that comfy. Also, let’s not forget this is a ship, so it might creak a bit. Thanks for everything!
- Robert (9/5): Short fun stay on Sofia Boat Hotel - Cool room on a. boat overlooking the Danube!
Amazing to wake with a river outside your window
Hristo Stoitchkov shop was a bonus! Boat Restaurant did good food and drinks
The staff were great. All good
- Невена (10/5): -
- Lidiya (10/5): - Всичко! Мястото, местоположението, разпределението, всичко ни хареса. Персонала беше много любезен и отзивчив. Честно казано много мога да разкажа за това място, макар само за кратък престой и все хубави неща.
- CRISTIAN JULIAN (9/5): - Ubicación, instalaciones y el servicio del personal
- Krasimira (10/5): Отново ще посетя мястото за по-дълъг престой. - Прекрасно място с прекрасни хора!

- O Bernst (5/5): - Lage, Ambiente und Service war sehr gut. Speisen waren gut und vom Preis her angemessen bis günstig. Ausstattung der Kabine war gut und sauber. Der Blick aus der Kabine auf die Donau ist unbezahlbar. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Einchecken lief problemlos. Bei Auschecken war keiner da. Schlüssel auf den Thresen und Tschüss. In der zweiten Nacht war das Personal nach Schließen des Restaurant der Meinung eine Privatpartie zu veranstalten. Bis kurz vor 02:00 Uhr war die Musik so laut, dass man das Gefühl hatte in einer Bassbox zu schlafen. Nachdem wir dann vorstellig wurden und gefragt haben, ob es eine Veranstaltung sei, oder ob es ein Privatvermögen sei, wurde die Musik dann leiser gestellt. Das Personal hatte kein Verständnis dafür, dass auf einem Stahlschiff der Schall bis in die letzte Ecke übertragen wird. Das Frühstück wurde uns im Speisesaal früh morgens hingestellt. Bis wir um 09:00 Uhr im Speisesaal waren, schmeckte es halt nicht mehr frisch. Wir waren wohl die einzigsten Übernachtungsgäste.
- Золкова (10/5): - Тишина, спокойствие, уют!

- Красимир (10/5): Красимир - Страхотна локация. Чисто и уютно в каютите. Усмихнат и вежлив персонал. Страхотен корабен ресторант с добра храна. Надхвърли очакванията ни. Ще посетим отново това прекрасно място, но за повече време.
- yulia (10/5): Хорошо - Очень необычная гостиница.номера- каюты.маленькая каюта с видом на реку.большая кровать ,телевизор и шкаф.туалет маленький с душевой.центр 15 минут.мы были одну ночь,более чем достаточно..рядом еще корабль с отличным и недорогим рестораном. Нет чайника.деспенсеры для мыла были пустыми.оба.
- Svilen (10/5): Както написа съпругата ми в социалните мрежи: "Яж, пътувай и обичай!" - Много добро усещане за нещо, по-различно от това, на което сме свикнали (хотел, СПА, апартамент и др. ) Атмосферата и емоцията са невероятни. Ресторантът е луксозен, храната е добре приготвена, персоналът е отзивчив. Ако сте решили да пестите, това място не е за Вас! Но ако искате приятни емоции, качествена храна и обслужване горещо Ви препоръчвам Boat Hotel Sofia. Град Русе също ме изненада приятно.
- Tihomir (10/5): Чудесно - Мястото е уникално ! Препоръчвам с две ръце ! Кухнята в ресторанта е на страхотно ниво ! Задължително си поръчайте десерт ! Закуската ,която се предлага може да се подобри ! Кафето обаче е едно от най-хубавите на пазара Julius Meinl ,препоръчвам !
- Ltd (10/5): - Уникално място, просто трябва да се посети, за да се усети атмосферата. Кухнята на ресторанта на кораба е на отлично ниво. Няма да съжалявате!
- JAQUELINE (10/5): Diferente opção de hospedagem, com custo-benefício excelente. - Amei essa opção de hospedagem. Muito bem localizado. Foi nossa primeira vez num barco-hotel. Gostamos de tudo. Nossa hospedagem não incluía café da manhã e fomos brindados com um café da manhã, sem custo adicional. Muito bom. Recomendo. Limpo, confortável e muito silencioso. Pessoal muito simpático e atencioso. Jantamos no restaurante que tem no Barco-hotel e gostamos muito. Não tenho o que reclamar. Excelente localização. Nosso quarto tinha dois banheiros, o que foi maravilhoso. Toalhas macias e cheirosas. Excelente localização e equipe bem atenciosa e gentil, o que mais poderíamos querer? Só agradecer à equipe que nos atendeu e ao hotel. Com certeza recomendamos.
- Elizabeth (7/5): -
- Karen (10/5): - This is a fantastic place to stay, all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and had a huge window overlooking the river. Very relaxed atmosphere and a good breakfast. Easy walk into the centre and a nice top deck bar to chill out on in the evening. I highly recommend this accomodation.

- Crystal (3/5): NOT RECOMMENDED - Location is good. Firstly the 5pm check-in - 10am check-out policy, with no facility to leave luggage is ridiculous. The self check-in (instructions received by google docs just before 5pm, and on condition of ID to be sent via message) was extremely impersonal and the yard we had to navigate was full of construction materials, puddles and gaping workers. The rooms are all in a basement with windows looking out onto the tyres of parked cars on the street above. No hot water, no aircon or fan in the stuffy room. Kitchenette was actually a shared space and very ill equipped. Please keep scrolling, I sm sure there are nicer places to stay!

- Rosemarie (10/5): Es war ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt und ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Wir werden sicher noch einmal w - Eine herausragende Lage an der Donau und ein wenig Flair einer Kreuzfahrt-Reise. Die Studio-Kabine bietet ausreichend Platz, sogar mit 2 kleinen Toiletten und Duschen👍😊❗️Fantastisch ist der Blick aus einem Panoramafenster auf die Donau, auch vom Bett aus😉. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und umsichtig. Das Schiff ist unweit vom Zentrum der Stadt entfernt & liegt an einer sehr schönen Stadt-Hafen-Promenade. Das Frühstück war einfach continental. Es sollte sich ein Toaster angeschafft und über einen neuen Kaffee-Automaten nachgedacht werden😉.
