Eastern Comfort - The Swimming Hostel

Moored on the River Spree in the heart of Berlin, 2 boats make up this charming hotel. Shipotel Eastern & Shipotel Western sit amid the vibrant Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg districts, just 10 metres from the remains of the Berlin Wall. The Shipotel Eastern features cosy cabin rooms with their own bathrooms and there is a spacious deck area with great views of the Oberbaum Bridge. The Shipotel Western features budget cabins with shared bathrooms. It features a roof terrace (not open in winter), with a great view of the Berlin skyline. Bed linen and towels are provided in the price. "Children 0-4 years are for free. 5 Years and older need to pay full adult price, so please make sure you give the children's age in your booking or consider this when making your booking." Guests can enjoy a drink on the Floating Lounge's deck in the summer, or next to the fireplace in winter. Central heating allows guests to stay on board all year round. The main reception, reception room and lounge are located on the Shipotel Eastern. The Floating Lounge offers english standup comedy every Tuesday and Thursday. Friedrichshain offers many bars and clubs, located within walking distance of the Shipotel Eastern. Warschauer Straße S-Bahn (city rail) station is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Our Shipotel unfortunately does not have its own parking area for cars. There are two park houses, one in EastSide Mall on Helen-Ernst Straße, which is open 24 hours and is 500 Meters from us. The prices start at 2.50 € for one hour and 14 € for 24 hours. The other one is near Ostbahnhof, just 1000 Meters from us: Contipark International, Stralauer Platz 14, 10243 Berlin, and it’s open 24 hours. The prices start at 2.00 € for an hour and 9 € for 24 hours. We are located just a four-minute walk from the Über Arena and the Über Eats Music Hall. So if you're planning to attend a concert at one of these venues, you've come to the right place.
