This is the (a, there's more than one) Galaxy Hotel in Bali. Apparently it's a cruise ship that was retrofitted into a land based hotel, or maybe just a hotel built to look like a ship. It's largely derelict now and is apparently supposed to be "haunted," because credulous people worldwide just apparently can't resist branding any crumbling structure as haunted.

I was hoping it would be fake or modified. If it was actually a stranded ship it would be a deathtrap waiting to crumble due to rust eating through the hull and structure.

The ship name is "The Galaxy" and its in Koh Chang. Not important enough for a wiki article it seems, but a fair number of articles on it out there.

Is this the cruise ship that Kreosan was exploring that one time? Might be misremembering but it was full of bats

Herzog might give it context
