"Beautiful, comfortable houseboat in perfect location! Some internet problems so used my phone but not a big deal for me. Had wonderful weather, which made using the top deck ideal. Accessing the top deck a little tricky for seniors."

"We had a peaceful, lovely stay. Little Venice is an easy walk from Paddington Station, while also being a world in itself. The boat is cozy with a nice seating area near the entrance, a very workable kitchen, and room outside for two or three to enjoy drinks or a meal. It is a treat to see swans and other water birds out the windows. Rather than run the engine for hot water, we used the stove to warm up water for personal hygiene. The host left wood for heat, but we didn't need it. The...

"This is a fun place to stay in so much as my room had a massive outside area, the bed was great and I could look out over the water to watch the fun of Canary Wharf Its very very basic. I had no shower gel etc in the shower, the toilet is a marine toilet, no water offered (or available) so needed me to visit a local shop. Its near all the bars so quite noisy. I'd stay there again but not for that price. Its too expensive for what it is. "

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel, staff were very friendly. They allowed early check in at no extra cost with our plane arriving in the early morning. Its close to food, bars and a short walk to all the attractions and the big bus stop. Tesco is right down the block for food items and snacks."
