Welcome to the virtual home of the Shipotel-Berlin Boat and the Floating Lounge. Our hotel is moored directly between Berlin´s lively districts of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, and we´re proud to be regularly named as one of Berlins best hotels.
Both of our hotels are open all year round for booking. Get to know our friendly Shipotel Crew and discover the best that Berlin has to offer.
Sleep on the waves of the spree: That´s what Berlins boats, Shipotel Eastern and Shipotel Western offer. We´re moored in a perfect location at Oberbaumbrücke between the two coolest districts in the city, Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. It´s easy to find trendy bars, famous clubs, and cool galleries within a couple of minutes walk from our boats.
Just twenty meters away, the East Side gallery stretches out for over a kilometre, the longest remaining part of the Berlin wall. We are plonked directly in the previous dead mans land border between east and west. There are hardly any areas in the capital with such historical value as our location.
Capt´n Edgar and his crew are looking forward to welcoming you to our very special atmosphere here onboard.
We´re open all year round, and even in the colder seasons, we´ll still warm you up. In summer, our spot is a proper hit in the city. On our deck terrace, you can enjoy the light breeze of the spree river with a cold drink in your hand and the sun in your face. You can also romanticize under the stars for your stay on our open air tent deck.
Altogether, we´ve got 43 available guest cabins, from our first class variation with panorama river views, to the most economical dorm beds with shared bathrooms. We´ve got an option for all budgets and tastes, from backpackers, couples, families, or groups.
You don´t have to worry about See-sickness by the way. At night is the Spree as still as a pond, and the boat floats perfectly still. Sometime the boat may move slightly as river traffic passes by, but this will only rock you in your sleep as if you were in a cot.
