i arrive early and the staff at the hotel let me store my bags. the tram stops only a short walk from the boat, so travel was easy. the standard room was beautifully decorated, and very nautical, that was so nice!
the room i had felt too expensive compare other rooms. i felt we were squeeze in a cupboard. i wish there were an option to change the room, because it looks much smaller.

A Unique and Romantic Stay

heated floorsafe boxdirty window
The breakfast service impressed me with its attentiveness. I was pleased with the complimentary toiletries and the heated bathroom floor in my room. I found a safe in the room, which gave me peace of mind . The tram stop is nearby. A quick walk made exploring very easy.
The small porthole window was a bit dirty, and it faced the waterline. This restricted the view. I would have liked better natural light.

The area is quickly evolving, with modern apartments, diverse bars, and charming cafes dotting the landscape. I walked to the Royal Yacht Britannia in about fifteen minutes. A tram line is also only a brief stroll away.

The King Room provided a lovely space, complete with tea and coffee facilities for a comforting touch. The bed was comfortable, contributing to restful nights. The bathroom featured a heated floor, a welcome addition.

Breakfast requires a reservation, given the limited seating on the top deck that has very nice views. The continental breakfast includes various options. I enjoyed watching people while drinking a pint on the top deck in the afternoon

My room had individual climate control. It also included a safe for valuables, so I felt secure. The bathroom had a heated floor, very cozy on cooler mornings. The provided tea and coffee making facilities were useful for a quick refreshment.
Parking near the ship cost extra.
