Superb stay on the water

The staff showed amazing attention. They decorated the room with hearts and petals since it was our anniversary. They gave us complimentary drinks at the bar. This special touch set this hotel apart for me.
Our room had a small port hole window near the waterline, and it was bit dirty.

Adequate Experience at the hotel

convenient locationwell trained staffgreat barmandirty windowsnoisy pipeorange juice
The location was convenient. It was easy to access the tram service at the end of the road. The staff were cute and knowledgeable about the boat's history. The barman mixed great cocktails, WHICH i appreciated.
our room was below deck. small porthole windows just above the waterline, were dirty. a bilge pipe right outside the window, sounded like a cistern that wouldn't stop running. breakfast could have been better for the price.

The room design included rope detailing around the frames. A very large comfortable bed helped me sleep well. The bar offered comfortable seating and great views night and day. The breakfast area mirrored this.
The tram to the city center requires using transportation.
