The boat is well located but there are some things that are worth mentioning. The staff is ‘just doing their job’ to the minimum, on the boat you hear all the noises of other guests and staff and our cabin was leaking water (condensation) which is normal at a boat but not comfortable when it’s above the bed…
Breakfast is good but also to the minimum. All together a little overpriced but the location makes it a ‘okay choice’ after all.

Check in instructions were incorrect - the front desk team were on another boat. A fault on board led to Intolerable noise from pumps at night meant I had to leave and find another hotel at 01:00

The service was great and the stuff was very kind. The beds where a bit dirty, it was loud outside (because people on the boat are dorectly above the windows) and the breakfast is very simple.

We were booked for two nights here, the room was small and dirty with a window in the ceiling that looks down on your bed. The toilets don't work and the room did not lock. There were people who weren't staying on the boat until 4am shouting and running around. Two of them broke into our room and when we looked for staff there was none. We booked another hotel for the next night. I don't think I'm over reacting when I say this was the worst place I've ever stayed we left because it's not safe.

Cool staff, young people. Small point of criticism is only that you could perhaps set up a fresh scent and a small shelf. Otherwise perfect 2-3 days stay.

Rory and Donnie were very friendly and great hosts, they provided all the necessary information and were very approachable, my only complain is the Wi-Fi, I had to come and sit in the lobby to use Wi-Fi because signals weren’t good in the cabin

Was great to be in the city centre and on the water. Had a very nice breakfast with a pretty view.
My room was very airless and stuffy due to no window and a very stinky shower/toilet cubicle. The staff said it was the pipes smelling like that but it was unpleasant.

Loud noises during the night (banging) room felt like we were in a tin can with light only from a ceiling porthole.‘the most minimal breakfast possibly.

Good location; friendly staff; clean; safe; but there was zero WiFi in the rooms and it was incredibly noisy as there were a lot of young people making a lot of noise so make sure you take earplugs!!!

Gets my Boat .
The cabin was compact and comfortable, with a fully functioning ensuite. I had hot water when i needed it .
The breakfast was extensive and tasty ...really set me up for the day.
The towels were too small to dry with and the rooms are not soundproofed so you are reliant on considerate guests late at night.
I loved my stay and would go back

enjoyed my stay in mid September (summer would not be good because of poor ventillation). The space is small but bright and clean. Strongly recommend room with ensuite bathroom. Shared main cabin is a delight with panoramic views of harbour and a great social space for breakfast. If you need wifi, the shared main cabin is the best place with its tables and ample seating. Staff were young, polite, helpful and made our stay relaxing. Bike hire was 5 mins walk away and reasonably priced.

We had a really nice one night stay. Our cabin was comfortable but it lacked adequate ventilation. During the night significant amounts of condensation collected on the roof window and then dripped on to the floor and part of the bed. The cabin ideally needs a dehumidifier or air ventilation system to prevent the build up of moisture. The staff were friendly, the breakfast was enjoyable. Great location.

The light did not work at room and it was told that it cannot be fixed, raditor could not be turned off and the it was like a furnace, when asked they had suggested to keep the windows open, it was on a boat so you could imagine people being able into look into the rooms, I would not really stay again at this property
