史威艾威旅馆

It was a unique experience to stay on a tugboat. The room and bathroom were teeny tiny which is to be expected on a boat but the beds were clean and comfortable. We had a sitting room adjacent to our room which gave us more space. The host was friendly and the breakfast was excellent. The host also recommended a Moroccan restaurant run by his wife which was 3 blocks away and which was excellent. The problem with our visit was that it was chilly during our stay and there was no heat upstairs in the boat where our accommodation was situated. Also, the window to the bathroom would not close. I was way too chilly to shower and the sitting room was also too cold.

Sehr spezielle Unterkunft auf einem alten Boot. Man darf keine 5-Sterne-Unterkunft erwarten und man muss sich darauf einlassen. Die Zimmer sind quasi Bootskabinen. Wir hatten eine kleine Kajüte mit Etagenbett. WC und Dusche waren auf dem Gang. Wir fanden es sehr spannend und außergewöhnlich. Es hat uns supergut gefallen und der Besitzer hat uns meganett empfangen und betreut.

I booked for a double bed room and was provided with a 2-twin bunk bed room. It was freezing cold at night. Before you choose this place search about sleeping in crew rooms in a tub boat.

My friend and i could not have been more pleased with our visit to Swept Away. We met some terrific people and made long term friendships with two of them. What more could we ask. Thank you.

What an amazing experience to sleep on a boat! Highly recommend staying here. The hosts are wonderful and the breakfast was delicious!

It was a nice quiet evening on a tug boat. Tight room but excellent breakfast and hosts

Fantastic experience!

The location was spectacular, we saw dozens of bald eagles on the water and the trees around the property. I was unable to read at bedtime because the light was not working so the only light was the overhead one.

Such a great experience! By far one of the most unique stays Ive done. Super friendly hosts. Highly recommended

This was a fun and unique option for accommodation in Port Alberni.

I felt so uncomfortable being there. Nothing as indicated on hotels.com website is how the property actually was. It was not mentioned that you would have to shower a bathroom and shower with guests in 5 other rooms. The rooms were tiny with no AC and some of the most uncomfortable bunk beds I ever stayed on. The doors have no locks. The hosts ask you to go to your room at 1030 and not make any noise. I had to leave as I felt super uncomfortable especially with half naked people going from shower to rooms and since doors can’t be locked or closed everything was visible. On top of it town closes at 7pm with nothing to do afterwards plus highway is closed for next few years making it impossible to access property. Booked two nights asked owner for a refund of 2nd night and he said I had to discuss with Expedia and then he pulled out his machine to charge me. Extremely disappointed with this property as nothing from website is realistic of property. They offer breakfast so we mentioned we were leaving early just to get on highway before they closed and never offered anything to bring with us.

The Tug boat is such a neat experience to try, with amazing food and cute cabins to stay in. Daniel and Bouchra are outstanding chefs, and very accommodating. If you have any motion sickness, this is not the adventure for you. Even docked, I did not have the sea legs for this lovely boat. My husband and son did very much enjoy the stay!

We were made to feel right at home form the first time we stepped onboard. Daniel and Bouchra are friendly and gracious hosts. We enjoyed a relaxing evening and a excellent breakfast. A complete experience we strongly recommend to anyone.

Don’t expect luxury, it’s not a cruise ship. was totally fun, the food was amazing, and it’s birthed in the most interesting part of town.

Excellent, in every way. Great dining experience. Wonderful hosts.

Bouchra and Daniel were amazing hosts. Staying on a tugboat was quite the experience. It was well decorated, clean and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious! We will definitely stay there again.

Het is eenvoudig, maar comfortabel. De gastvrouw en gastheer zijn geweldig! ‘S-avonds met hen en andere gasten ervaringen uitwisselen op het achterdek. In de ochtend een heerlijk ontbijt.

Amazing experience. Fantastic dinner and breakfast. Wonderful hosts. Truly unique and excellent stay.

Probably in the top 10 of unique lodgings in western Canada. 2nd visit, this time I brought my 70 yr old mother. She loved it. Leave your 5star hotel comfort and yacht expectations behind for this 100 yr old Tug boat. Rooms are as pictured.. tiny and not a lot of space. Shower and toilets are clean and shared. Breakfast is deliciously local produce and unique. The hosts are gracious, accommodating and eager to make your stay comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back for a third stay and you shouldn’t hesitate to experience it for yourself. Re: the review from Elaine.. this reads like someone who had unrealistic expectations, constructed a fantasy in her head and failed to review any info of the accommodations. When she discovered her fantasy was not matched with reality, instead of adjusting her expectations she took it out on the hosts. Having stayed numerous times, I find her review ridiculous, petulant and absurd.
