"Quite basic but centrally located hotel parallel to Gothenburg’s main high street. Around the corner from the famous Avenue shopping street with many restaurants and stores."

"Hotel Barken Viking is one of the few remaining four-mast barques in the world. She is moored in Gothenburg’s Guest Harbour only a stone’s throw from the Gothenburg Opera House."
Rough Guide
"Moored by the Opera House, this hotel on a grand, four-masted sailing ship built in Denmark in 1906 is a charismatic and comfortable choice."
Lonely Planet
