The location was well placed for us, and it was easy to jump on the main tram. I cannot emphasize this enough. We should have stayed more nights. For the same price as some central accomodations you get to sleep on a boat. Cleanliness was top notch, and everything on the ship was well put together and design wise spoke to each other. Staff was extremely friendly. The breakfast area is beautiful. The bathroom looks amazing. You will not see such tiling in real buildings.

The staff are so sweet, helpful and very welcoming from the moment you arrive (especially the cute girl when we checked in, who reminded me of Dakota J!) and best of all, the all-round feel is ultimately casual! The rooms are awesome - actually, a spacious fully furnished apartment with a supercomfy bed upstairs and all the perks and necessities : 2 TV's, a record player, a wicked sound box, a guitar (!) safety deposit box, full-sized refrigerator, hob, oven and a magnificent minibar plus the famous beer fridge in the bathroom! Everywhere is kept fantastically clean including the bar and dining area. Breakfast options are wonderful and graciously filling - at times we would have actually preferred lighter options but hey, we were in holiday mode! We dined a couple of times as well, having enjoyed great burgers and chicken wings, both which we highly recommend. Ah yes... and the beer... extensive selection, spoilt for choice... infact, I write this review whilst enjoying a Punk IPA which I just bought from our local supermarket 😁

Beautiful. Great breakfast, complementary coffee, great honesty bar. So helpful staff. Rooms well equipped. A little small if traveling with heavy suitcases. We had a big bathroom made for disable person. Floor a little slippery.
