Summary of traveller reviews

Laivahostel S/S Bore in Turku offers a unique shipboard experience. Guests praise the friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and the fun, nostalgic atmosphere. The location near the castle and port is convenient. Some find the cabins small and note thin walls, but overall it's highly recommended for a memorable stay.

Nice old ship, retro 1960-90's, partial museo lounges, atmosphere authentic. Tiny cabins with shower and toilet, 70/190 cm bed. Breakfast basic but fresh. Bus 1 and 1A (from Market Square) to Forum Marinum.
