A bit hot in our room at night, unable to lower the temperature. Small cabin but ok for 1 night.

ErittÀin hyvÀ hinta-laatusuhde. Kiva vanha laiva ja laivan tunnelma. Edullinen yöpymishinta ja siihen kuului vielÀ aamiainen. KÀvelymatka sekÀ satamaan ettÀ sataman juna-asemalle. Ainoa miinus oli sekava logistiikka lÀheisen parkkipaikan suhteen, ennen kuin tajusi, mistÀ kohtaa laivalle pystyy kÀvelemÀÀn ja miten ne eristeaidat menevÀt.

Hieno palvelu. Itse vÀhÀn sÀhlÀsin avaimen ja hieman sokkeloisten kÀytÀvien kanssa. Mukava henkilökunta auttoi. HyvÀ aamupala.

Yöpyminen yhden henkilön hyttihuoneessa oli mukava kokemus. Kaikki toimi mainiosti ja nukuin hyvin. Ikkunasta oli nÀkymÀt Turun linnan suuntaan. YhteisissÀ oleskelutiloissa katselin mm. kymppiuutisia. Aamupalalla oli tarjolla superhyvÀÀ riisipuuroa, yrttileipÀÀ ja paljon muuta maistuvaa. Bore on edullinen ja mielenkiintoinen majoituspaikka Aura-joen rannalla. Aamusauna jÀi vielÀ kokeilematta, mutta ehkÀ seuraavalla reissulla. Suosittelen laivamajoitusta lÀmpimÀsti!

Todella natiseva sÀnky, luultavasti tiensÀ pÀÀssÀ. SisÀÀnkÀynnillÀ jyrkkÀ ramppi ja sisÀllÀ paljon kapeita portaita. Ei ole esteetön majoituspaikka.
