Unique experience to sleep on a ship. You have to deal with a shower and toilet outside of your room, but after all it's a ship. Water plenty and hot however, everything is clean and I liked the sleeping experience a lot. Quiet, but it can get cook a bit. Excellent and very reasonably priced breakfast buffet, bicycle rental on the ship. Call before you book, the staff was very friendly, to say it in German: "rauh aber herzlich". Clear recommendation if you get the room for a reasonable price and if you don't expect the four seasons it's worth spending one or two nights there.

We stayed on a boat. My kids loved it. Everything was clean and as expected.

We visit Schiffsherberge Pöppelmann repeatedly and are always very satisfied.

I really enjoyed staying on the boat, breakfast was superb, walking the river side into town was nice, however the boat does not have views of the river, it is on an inlet and therefore the views are not particularly interesting. There is a lovely family atmosphere on the boat and staff were help and friendly.

Our room for 3 was really narrow and very low in height; briefly seriously uncomfortable. The number of toilets and bathrooms were very few, so were dirty after a while. I would not stay in this hostel again although it is close to the city center.

We had a great visit enjoying friendly helpful staff as well as conversation over beers with other guests. We enjoyed a concert in a park 500m away which enhanced our short stay. Never having stayed in a boat like this it was a fun experience, one we would try again!

We stayed for just one night, and it was comfortable and pleasant! Nice boat with a history. We were in captain’s cabin, which was really cool: spacious, clean, and nice. A little upset with being charged €4.50 for parking in a lot marked as “free parking” in google maps. (In fact, the receptionist asked us where we parked. Wondering what would happen if we said we don’t have a car and gonna use Uber?) staff could learn a little about hospitality ...

It is an interesting experience to stay on the boat. When I wake up, I saw a swan swimming from my window.

It’s a bit hard to find with all the construction work going on in the area, but once you find it, it’s a cute little boat placed perfectly well in Dresden. We walked to the city center and didn’t feel like we needed to use the car while being there. It appears slightly rundown and of course there’s the issue of not having your own bathroom, but for the price I doubt you’ll find anything better than this. The only thing we were a little displeased with was the breakfast, which was a little expensive since the selection wasn’t that impressive. Other than that, everything else was good.

The staff were very friendly, everything was always clean, and I felt safe traveling as a single woman. The area itself could be perfect because it's close to the river and park but there's an establishment close by that plays very loud techno music for most of the day and night. The loud bass kind of makes it hard to enjoy the river or nature.

Unusual hotel boat 10 minutes walk from the Neustadt station. Friendly helpful staff and clean rooms. ***warning*** you need a torch after dark as the path/road in poorly lit

Really enjoyed it. Liked the opportunity to which with other guests because of the confirmed nature of a boat

This is a great site and a bit quirky which makes it fun. Its an old training ship and we took a family room with two sets of bunk beds - the room was spacious (for a ship) and had sinks for washing teeth but we had to use the common bathroom and shower facilities down the hall which was no problem. There is wifi but only really in the office/dining area but it was no major hardship. We had the breakfast which was great - bit of a grazing experience and tried a few new things but overall it was worth the money. The staff were great - we were met by Alex who explained how everything worked and then provided us with a recommended itinerary and maps for our visit. The ship is located on the bicycle path next to the Elbe river and a 10 minute walk can take you up to the tram line and from there you can easily get around the city - we bought a day (24 hr) family ticket for 9 Euro so its not expensive. So far so good - the downside is that you are on a boat and noise travels. We stayed over a weekend and were kept awake by other occupants who enjoyed a night in town and then partied when they got back to the boat - there are no staff onboard overnight and we just hunkered down and tried to get some sleep. Additionally the ship is moored close to a nightclub which is active at weekends - depends on your view/age but it was noisy. Therefore would thoroughly recommend the experience but perhaps avoid weekends if you are not a party animal.
