“Staying aboard this yacht hotel, permanently moored at the docks between the Excel Exhibition Hall and the Novotel, offers a unique perspective on London. The views toward Canary Wharf and the O2 are indeed spectacular, especially from the bar and restaurant at night. The well-maintained cabins, with their teak features and comfortable amenities, provide a quirky alternative to traditional hotels.”

the dock area near the yacht had some litter and i noticed a few people lurking around at night. this made walking back to the hotel a bit unsettling.

the location was convenient for getting to the excel centre.
Check-in took over 20 minutes. I watched as other guests who arrived later were served first (it was frustrating). the double bed was two single mattresses pushed together. the duvet had what looked like mold on it.
