Fantastic experience. Lovely small ship. Cabin is very spacious with lovely views. Only slight drawback is no USB charging in cabins, but there are plenty of sockets.

Loved it!

Had a great time staying. Such a unique and classy hotel. Really feels like you are on a yatch and cabins are excellent, very spacious. The bar area has lovely views, as does the breakfast restaurant - breakfast was lovely and with lots of choice. Great service from staff.

Excellent visit

Really pleased overall with only one minor issue.There is no reduced lighting in the bedroom so when it’s pitch black, going to the loo is a challenge! So a bright light had to be left on which affected sleep. That aside, the ship is spotlessly clean, the staff are attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back.

This yacht hotel is outstanding. We stayed on the Sunborn as we were going to a concert at the O2. We were checked in by a lovely man called Alex! Great sense of humour and fun. Our room was stunning, so spacious, comfortable bed and a beautiful view from the window. Breakfast the next day was delicious! I would definitely stay here again, it was perfect from start to finish!

Pros: Staff were friendly and welcoming. Rooms are clean and well maintained though they are a bit dated. The location is fantastic, can get to all the attractions near by very easily. There is a pleasant vibe to the place among guests, I think due to the novelty of being in a boat. Cons: I'm definitely not a fan of the beds, found the mattress very uncomfortable and had a rough two nights sleep wise. Couldn't get room service - attempted to call the line specified on the phone both nights I stayed to no answer so eventually went through the pain of installing the app, I made an order and nobody actioned the request - was unable to reach front desk, bar or restaurant from room phone, either unable to connect or just constantly ringing, which was annoying. In the end decided to not be lazy and walked the 5 mins to a store nearby. Impressions are overall positive despite the beds and room service. Very good staff, just wish they'd answer the phone! 🙂
