About

Shipotel Eastern has a total of 25 cabins in 1st class ( large cabins for 1 or 2 persons ) and 2nd class categories ( for 1,2,3 or 4 persons), all of which have en-suite bathroom & shower. Except our 4bed dorm that has a shared shower and toilets. Shipotel Western is located directly next to Shipotel Eastern, it has 18 private 1, 2 or 3-bed cabins with shared bathroom/shower facilities and tents on top of our rooftop available to rent during the summer.
All cabins have two large windows, however Shipotel Eastern 2nd class have two portholes in each cabin.
Half of our cabins have a river view while the others face the colourful Berlin Wall; waterside cabins are on a first booked basis.
Feel free to follow-up with us, but we cannot guarantee the river side.

Services and facilities like reception and our lounge are on Shipotel Eastern and are of course available to all of our guests.

You need to stay 1 night here while seeing the east wall gallery - there are some great places like monster Ronson karaoke and AvA which is sometimes free before midnight if you get an online ticket

If you are looking for a unique hostel experience this is definitely the place for you. Surprisingly quiet and very well staffed. It is an older (but well maintained!) boat so size your expectations accordingly. It's not a luxury cruise but actually nicer than I expected. Quiet, and warm in the winter!

Really interesting and unique place to stay. Central location and easy to get to. Great staff. Rooms are a little dated but very comfortable. Was very quiet when I stayed so not much social atmosphere, but very enjoyable never the less.
