Spacious room. Very quite, which we attribute to the steel hull construction. Nice balcony wit river views. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location relative to Excel London and the tube station.
The entrance to the (boat) hotel is a it confusing. One needs to take the elevator up to the right floow for reception. But the elevator is dimly lit so it is difficult to figure out where to go. Once you know you know, but this could perhaps be fixed by better signage.

Pleasant
The room had enough bright lights and lots of mirrors.
Everything. The hotel is not clean, the room cleaners washed my tea cup in the bathroom without caring that l was there, so imagine what goes on when I’m not there. There was a faulty elevator when l arrived then the only working one got bad as well. Taxi’s cant not come near the hotel, so be ready to drag your luggage like you’re in Venice. The don’t have laundry service, I couldn’t get my clothes ironed professionally, you have to iron yourself. The breakfast was the same all through my stay no change. The same boring and cold food. The only hot thing was the coffee.

Wonderful
They upgraded me to an Executive Family Suite. It didn't face the river but I had a balcony so I was really pleased with my overall stay and the size of the room. The staff was really helpful at all times and I didn't have to wait for service. I asked for extra milk and a sewing kit for the room which was promptly supplied. Ironing board and iron in the cupboards was a bonus.
It's the first time I haven't slept on a mattress but on what appeared to be only a mattress topper? I slept well but I think the bed could have been a tad more comfortable. I couldn't access certain parts of the boat as they had rope everywhere so it felt a bit "small to explore". Overall, I would still recommend the experience!

Stunning property with elegant communal areas and lovely en-suite rooms. We very much enjoyed the breakfast and bar, both of which had outside deck seating areas with views of London. Short walk from public transport (Elizabeth line and Docklands railway).
Nothing.

Exceptionally clean, well kept and spacious rooms. Excellent security. Hotel rooms lively and peaceful.
Cooked breakfast in the overspill area was cold, this had been fed back to the hotel and they have taken these comments on board.

Fair
Great location, and the yacht itself is magnificent In check in the gentleman who checked us in was lovely and chatty and made the check in process quick and easy.
Unfortunately on level 5 where we stayed they are doing up the sky lounge so that was an eye sore. We also had to call staff up at around 1am as our air con wasn’t working and the room was at 28 degrees, someone eventually came up with a fan and said the air con was working however it wasn’t and the room remained at 28 degrees we had to end up resting on the balcony to try to cool down, at some where that’s more high end this was a shame. We also had drinks at the sundown bar around 9pm, after ordering our second round of drinks the waiter came over and demanded we paid our bill now, we was taken a back as we was planing on buying more drinks however it felt like they was pushing us out unsure why as we had ordered mocktails so wasn’t drunk or anything so that was a shame. This was my second time staying here, we was planning a third stay but have decided not to go a head.
