    The houseboat has been renovated incredibly well and has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The facilities inside the boat were perfect so that you could really settle in as if it was home. Everything was super clean, the bed was perfect and the person who greeted us was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

    Fantastically novel stay in central London. We are used to living on boats, yachts etc, and therefore found the nautical quirks of this converted fishing trawler to be normal. The space of both the two bedrooms and the lounge area made it so much better than any reasonably priced hotel could provide, and a perfect place to relax between visiting what London offers.. The location close to Battersea Power Station, and tube and river connections made it very easy to get to and from.

    Location was great! There was a free hotel boat over to Canary Wharf which you could then hop onto the Uber boats from and go pretty much anywhere in 20 minutes! Complimentary warm cookies on arrival was a nice touch. Room was air conditioned on arrival which was great in the heat. Clean room with a lovely bathroom. Nice and modern. Very comfortable stay. Even parking was easy and car park was never really full.

Bed was really comfortable, rooms clean, view amazing! decor was nice and fresh looking.
