Fantastic venue such a beautiful yacht the staff were incredible and went all out to make a difficult day more peaceful for my partner and I. I would come back again for sure

Location and ease of transport links around it, also cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Food was very nice.

All very good and ideal for my visit to the passport office. Excellent breakfast!!

We enjoyed the whole Christmas Package .lt was brilliant.

The breakfast was ok a bit cold. The var staff were lovely but one of the reception staff was not very helpful

Everything, the best experience I had ever from staff to food unreal, we will 100% be going back and cannot wait.

Location and the novelty of staying on a cruise liner

Overall, this was fine accommodation for London with good access to the metro system and numerous restaurants. It's located in a fun area and staying on a boat is always a unique experience. We liked waking up and looking out our window to see the people kayaking and swimming in the river.

room was fantastic, room was very hot even with the AC on full, however it was very hot outside that weekend. breakfast was fantastic, views off the rear of the boat were lovely especially sipping a nice cold beer whilst watching the watersports.

The breakfast was a nice touch. The rooms were quiet. Overall, it was a fun experience, but I would not probably book it again just because it felt a little confining with no window to open, and the rooms were only accessible by elevator.

Great location!

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

• Politically sensitive comments
• Promotional content
• Illegal activities
• Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
• Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
• Spam and fake content
• Animal cruelty
• Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
• Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Floating Fancy: Sunborn London Yacht Hotel Review

Finding the perfect hotel for a London stay can be tricky, with countless options and locations available. Sunborn London offers something a little more unusual, as it’s not your standard bricks-and-mortar establishment; pick the Sunborn, and you’ll be staying on an extravagant yacht. But while it stands out from the crowd visually, does the rest stand up to scrutiny?

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel, to give it its full title, is located at Royal Victoria Dock, an area of east London that has undergone extensive regeneration and is home to the Excel exhibition centre. Despite its Docklands location, the Sunborn yacht is easy to get to, thanks to the new Elizabeth Line that runs through the city, with stops at Heathrow Airport, Paddington, Bond Street and Liverpool Street, to name just a few, where you can connect to most other London underground lines. Arriving by car isn’t too much of a chore either, and with ExCel next door, ample parking is available just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Arriving at Sunborn London certainly makes an impression. The vast open space in front of the floating hotel allows you to take in the size as you get closer to the riverfront. There’s a lift at dock level – one of few signs that the yacht was indeed built specifically for this purpose – which takes you directly to the stylishly designed reception level, where you are greeted by friendly staff, ready to check you in for a stay.

While the purpose-built yacht might not have sailed the Mediterranean, it still has all the features of a sea-going vessel, with heavy doors and raised sills. There’s even an impressive cruise ship-esque double staircase in the middle of the reception area, which is finished off with a crystal chandelier, adding a touch of elegance.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: The Room

We spent the night in a mid-range ‘Yacht Executive’ room with a balcony overlooking the surprisingly blue waters of the docks. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized desk area should you combine business with pleasure. There were a good number of plug sockets dotted about the room and at each side of the bed – something often overlooked – with a mix of UK and European sockets, which was a nice touch. Everything you would expect was there, including tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge and a safe, should you need them.

The bathroom was a reasonable size, with a spacious enough shower. Confusingly though, rather than having a simple shower control, there was a bath mixer tap with a shower attached. Once the water was turned on, a toggle needed to be pulled to direct the water through the shower head. With no bath in sight, this seemed rather odd.

Unlike the smaller rooms on the lower two levels, our room had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, with a double-glazed door leading out onto our little balcony, complete with two chairs. While it was a nice little bit of outside space, it wasn’t well designed in that once seated in the chairs, the view was of the solid steel safety barrier rather than the river. Perhaps some safety glass would be a better bet.

Despite that, it felt like a well-thought-out space, with considerate touches ranging from the surfeit of power sockets to the welcome bottles of water. Between 19 and 23m3, the rooms aren’t huge on paper, but clever use of space and light makes them feel far more generous than they could.

Throughout the cabins and the public areas of the yacht, there are lots of mirrors, reflective surfaces and warm coloured wooden panelling, which adds to the character of Sunborn London, and adds to the sense of space, leaving you in no doubt that you are onboard a vessel.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Lands End Restaurant

The onboard restaurant is located at the vessel’s rear, with an outside space providing views towards The O2 and Canary Wharf. Like the rest of the public areas, it is adorned with warm-coloured wood and reflective surfaces, making it feel both welcoming and light and airy.

We began by perusing the wine list and decided on a bottle of prosecco – such glamorous surroundings deserved a few bubbles! The bottle arrived at the table, was opened and poured, only to find that it had been served at room temperature. Our waiter did try to rectify this error, but the second bottle had also not been chilled. A cold bottle was eventually found from the Sundown Bar on the deck below, but two bottles had been wasted by this stage. It’s an amateur mistake to make and set a low bar for the rest of the evening.

Nevertheless, we put this mishap to one side and checked out the food offering. The menu had a good selection of options, with meat and seafood dishes available. However, the choice for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet was very limited.

I selected the mixed marinated olives as my starter, and my dining companion opted for the Gazpacho. Both arrived quite quickly and were tasty and fresh.

The main course was more of an issue, as I suffer from lactose intolerance. My only option was wild mushroom risotto with vegan cheese and grated truffle, with a seasonal house salad on the side. My companion had more choice and opted for the ‘Sunborn’ fish ‘n’ chips, which consisted of beer battered haddock, pea puree and chunky chips.

When the food did arrive at the table, it looked well presented, and while the fish fillet did look relatively small, the risotto was somewhat more substantial.

The wild mushroom risotto was well cooked, the risotto rice was tender, and the dish was well seasoned and tasty. The side salad, however, did leave a little to be desired. There was little or no dressing to add flavour, which was disappointing.

The fish and chips were fine, if unexciting. It’s a dish that’s difficult to get wrong but also difficult to impress with. The kitchen managed to stay in its lane, offering something perfectly acceptable, with fresh chips and tasty mushy peas, although portions were a little meagre.

Dessert was again lacking in options for my needs or those on plant-based diets, with fruit and sorbet being the only, somewhat unimaginative, options. I reluctantly opted for the three flavours of sorbet, while my dining companion opted for the much tastier sounding Bakewell tart with ice cream.

The Bakewell tart arrived without a hitch, but the lack of attention to the order in the kitchen meant that I was served two scoops of sorbet and one scoop of ice cream instead of three of sorbet. Luckily I noticed before I started to eat it, and I immediately notified the manager of the error. My issue is an intolerance rather than an allergy, but had it not been, this could have been a more significant problem.

With few guests in the restaurant the night we dined, there was little excuse for the multiple errors. While a long way from fine dining , the food was perfectly acceptable, but the lack of imagination in the menu and the lack of care in serving the drinks and meal tarnished the experience.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Sundown Bar

After dinner, we headed down a deck for a nightcap at the Sundown Bar. As you enter the bar, lights and reflective surfaces surround you from every angle, making it just a little overwhelming against the dusk outside. We decided the sensory overload was a little too much, so we chose a seat on the outside deck with views along the docks to The O2 beyond.

The overall environment and vibe of the place were pleasant and lively, with most patrons spending their time either gazing into each other’s eyes or gazing at the myriad lights of the city twinkling away in the distance. A surprising amount of time can be wasted simply watching the Emirates Air Line cable cars crossing the river, their red lights floating across the skyline in contrast to the blue and white lights of the city.

There is a good selection of drinks available, but they are a little pricey, even allowing for London prices. A Diet Coke and a double Woodford Reserve bourbon came in at £20. The service was swift and friendly, recovering from the faux pas at dinner and rounding off our evening well.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Breakfast

Breakfast the following day was on the outside deck of the Lands End restaurant and consisted of a cooked breakfast from the kitchen alongside a self-service buffet. The mix of table service for the hot food and self-service for the rest isn’t that unusual, but it was also self-service for tea and coffee, which, for a luxury hotel , is much less common. Disappointingly, there was hardly any hot water left in the urn to make tea, and what was there was lukewarm at best.

The breakfast was perfectly adequate and served quickly, suggesting that it is precooked in the kitchen and then plated up when ordered. While that’s not a significant problem, it is disappointing to be served fried eggs that have been kept warm a little too long when a fresh egg takes only a minute or two to cook.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: The Verdict

With countless highly-rated dining options within just a few minutes’ walk from the Sunborn, it’s a surprise and disappointment that the restaurant can’t match the standards that the rest of the hotel sets. With those other options available, though, it’s not something that should put you off, as it’s the hotel that holds the appeal.

Sunborn London

Docklands, London, England, United Kingdom

• Full Review
• A floating super yacht hotel with serious novelty factor
• Moored right opposite Excel conference center
• Minutes' walk from DLR train station
• Easy access to London's City Airport
• Relatively spacious rooms, most with water views
• In-room Lavazza coffeemakers and Sony tablets
• Restaurant and terrace bar with water views
• Far from tourist center
• No fitness facilities

Bottom Line

The 136-room Sunborn London is an upper-mid-range hotel in the form of a 394-foot super yacht moored in London's Royal Victoria Dock. Rooms are pleasant, surprisingly spacious, and most have views over the water, though decor is more cruise liner than luxury yacht. Some rooms have spacious decks and big soaking tubs; all have coffeemakers, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. Eating and drinking options are solid though lack of fitness facilities feels like an oversight. Overall, for maritime enthusiasts with business in the area it's perfect, but tourists wanting to explore the capital's attractions should look elsewhere. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Oyster Hotel Review

An upper-mid-range floating hotel set on a super yacht .

The Sunborn London is not only the capital's only floating hotel, it's the only one occupying a 394-foot super yacht. Built without an engine, however, it was towed from its native Finland and opened as upper-mid-range water-based lodgings in 2014. From the outside -- with its sleek marine lines -- it looks every inch the luxury vessel. Inside , however, the look and feel is deliberately more traditional, with polished brass railings, teakwood paneling, and the occasional nautical touches across all five of its floors. The resulting vibe is certainly more cruise ship (albeit an attractive one) than billionaire's playground. There's plenty of outside space on deck for enjoying the surrounding docks -- if not the most attractive of views -- accompanied by the sound of planes taking of and landing at the nearby City Airport. A solid pick for the novelty factor and for guests with business at the nearby conference center, this hotel is a bit far from main tourist attractions.

Moored in Royal Victoria Dock to the east of London's Canary Wharf

The hotel is permanently moored in the London ’s Royal Victoria Dock in the Docklands area in the east of the capital. The city's largest conference and events venue -- the Excel Center -- is located right opposite while the DLR (Dockland's Light Railway) station of Custom House is just minutes away on foot. From here it's just about 15 minutes by train to London's business district of Canary Wharf. While it's not ideally located for tourists, public transport links to the city center in around half an hour. City Airport however is right nearby and takes less than 10 minutes by car. 

Relatively spacious rooms with Sony tablets and Lavazza coffeemakers

The hotel's 136 rooms are certainly a lot larger than your average cruise ship cabins, but all follow cruise liner styling with plenty of polished teak, brass trim, and maritime touches. Unlike a cruise ship, all rooms are outward facing and most have large picture windows overlooking the water (some have small furnished balconies too). Amenities include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs plus sitting areas, and a Sony tablet for web browsing and ordering room service. Lavazza coffeemakers and minibars with free water also come standard. Clean, well-maintained bathrooms provide wall-mounted hairdryers, walk-in showers, and Molton Brown products. The top-end Yacht Executive Suite we saw had its own private sauna and large balcony.

Restaurant and terrace with water views, free Wi-Fi, and a small spa with massage treatments

The hotel's Lands End restaurant provides a pleasant space awash with mirrored glass and teak paneling with large windows overlooking the water. A la carte and set breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are served with British, Asian, and Mediterranean influences. The adjoining bar provides house cocktails, snacks, and meals as well as an outdoor terrace with views of Canary Wharf and the O2 arena. A small spa also provides a range of massage treatments though there are no fitness facilities on-site. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Sitting On A Dock Of The Thames: The Sunborn London Yacht Hotel

Gina Baksa enjoys an overnight stay and afternoon tea at the luxurious Sunborn London superyacht hotel, moored next to ExCel in London’s Docklands.

During visits to the ExCel London conference centre, I’d often admired the gleaming white Sunborn London superyacht moored below on Royal Victoria Dock. This splendid yacht hotel first arrived in Docklands in 2014 and has become a highly popular business and leisure venue offering 136 spacious bedrooms and suites across its five generous decks.

The O2 and the City are both a short cab ride away, while the DLR Custom House station is just a five-minute walk away – a perfect location to capture both the leisure and business markets.

It was a sunny-blue-sky day, but wintry cold, when I arrived at Sunborn London yacht hotel. I was glad of the warmth in the reception area from the point of the view of the heating, and the genuinely friendly welcome from Victoria and the team on the front desk.

My executive suite cabin was on the fourth floor, reached via a spectacular circular staircase with an enormous gold chandelier at the centre. Somehow the effect managed to look refined and elegant rather than 80s disco ball. And I loved the mirrored ceiling that reflected the light and gold around the stairwell. It was a very glamorous beginning to my overnight stay, and other guests thought so too as they posed for selfies on the staircase.

The new dark blue carpet and teak accents, alongside the high-ceilinged corridors with white and gold doors, made me feel we were about to set sail for the French Rivier. Alas, the Sunborn London doesn’t have an engine (it was pulled into Royal Victoria Dock by two tugs), and its erstwhile engine room is now the staff canteen, while the bridge is home to the offices. But I could always dream…

Sunborn London Cabins & Suites The Sunborn has a total of 136 rooms, which include two junior suites and two executive suites. The latter is at the front of the yacht and face forward, offering dockside or riverside views. At a very generous 45 square metres, these executive suites are divided into a bedroom, bathroom, lounge and work area. Best of all is the Jacuzzi bath which healed my sore muscles after a stint in the fabulous private sauna. What a suite!

Full-length French windows opened out on to a spectacular decking area with sun loungers, and needless to say, it was too chilly to linger too long. However, in the summer, this suite would be an incredible entertaining space. Guests will also find their complimentary mini-bar refilled daily, while an early check-in and late check-out are available.

My gorgeous king-sized bed was heavenly (thank you blackout curtains), and I especially appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities, plus the iron and ironing board. And the Wi-Fi I’m happy to report was fast and responsive throughout the yacht. The carpeted executive rooms also looked inviting, thanks to the king-sized beds and all the other amenities alongside a walk-in shower. There were iPads in every room too, each with two USB ports and information on the yacht, dining and the spa, plus Google Maps listing London attractions and shopping.

Sunborn London Restaurant and Bar Arriving at lunchtime, I decided to snack at the Sundown Bar since I had a dinner reservation at the Land’s End that evening. The service was welcoming and friendly – and I ordered a smooth glass of Laurent-Perrier before enjoying my falafel and fries.

The bar is bustling at night, though thankfully it was peaceful when I arrived. I took advantage of the calm, and simply stared out at the river, and the City and O2.

I took a window seat in the Land’s End restaurant – handily on the fourth deck and just a few minutes from my cabin. The seating is well laid out, so everyone gets a window view and space to hear each other chat. Executive Head Chef Paul Hegley is at the helm here and curates a tasty British menu using mainly seasonal produce. Fish is sourced from the UK, and all the meat is said to be from a rare breed, coming from independent farms. There are gluten-free options and well as veggie meals to cater for all palates.

I chose the smoked butternut squash velouté with pecorino and hazelnut to start. It was a perfect precursor to my delicious and very festive Ballotine of Norfolk bronze turkey, chestnut and cranberry stuffing, smoked pancetta, seasonal vegetables, roasted Parisienne potatoes and pigs in blankets. Turkey can often be dry, but mine was delicious, and the vegetables perfectly cooked. Alas, I had to forgo the tempting Sticky toffee pudding with spiced rum with vanilla ice cream, but it looked amazing.

Other mains options included duck, steak and fish, as well as two vegetarian choices of mushroom risotto, and goats curd with pumpkin. There’s also a superb wine list, and my Malbec Bodegas Santa Ana was full-bodied, and my friend loved his Via Nova Pinot Grigio. If you don’t feel like company for supper, you can choose in-room dining, which is available 24 hours a day.

Tested By Us

What did you get up to? We visited the Sunborn Yacht Hotel for an overnight stay and 3 course meal, as part of my wife’s 40th birthday celebrations. We travelled into the city by train and jumped on the underground to Custom House, where the boat is moored on the Thames. On arrival at the quayside, you get the instant sensation that this is not going to be your average hotel stay, as you are greeted by the 120m Sunborn super yacht in all its glistening glory! Once on board, we were welcomed by friendly staff and given the keys to our room. The inside of the boat is just as spectacular as the outside, with a grand staircase and chandeliers dominating the main reception area. Our beautiful king-size room had its own private balcony overlooking the Thames and the city, which gave us an opportunity to relax and take in the sights before dinner. Dinner was booked for 8pm, so once we had changed into our glad rags, we made our way to the bar for a pre-dinner drink. The restaurant is situated at the top of the grand staircase, which gives you a great opportunity to take a few snaps next to the chandeliers on your way up! Our 3 course meal was absolutely lovely, I had the steak and Emma had the corn fed Chicken, accompanied by a few glasses of fizz! We have 2 kids, so we took advantage of a full night’s sleep in our super comfy king sized bed! In the morning, we decided to explore the boat and as the evening rain had cleared we were able to get out onto the sun decks and have a coffee. Our stay also included a full English breakfast, which was fantastic and filled us up for our planned day in the city. Overall, we had a great restful break away and could not fault the staff, accommodation and food. The Sunborn offers a unique way to stay in city and offers a bit of the wow factor, especially when celebrating a special occasion. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return! What did you enjoy the most? Our favourite part of the experience the 3 course meal. The restaurant setting was amazing overlooking the city lights and the food was top class, which made Emma’s birthday celebrations extra special.

Top Tip 1. Bring a camera! 2. Remember your glad rags! 3. Take advantage of the sights and lights of London, why not take in a west end show during your stay!

Moscow Price for Near-Moscow Quality - Vania Rooms Hotel

Moscow Price for Near-Moscow Quality

The first and most important thing to address about "Vania Rooms Hotel" is that it is just another wing of the Klyazma hotel. I'm not entirely sure what the marketing scheme is here, but I suspect that it has something to do with trying to escape the stereotype/stigma associated with the Klyazma as a Soviet sanatorium. The hotel achieves limited success with this ploy. The Vania/Klyazma is located outside of the city, but there are buses that go there from Uspensky Sobor, and a taxi to the center should run you only about 150 roubles. As a result of staying a bit farther out, you're surrounded by nice pine trees and fresh air - definitely a plus. Our room, located on the first floor even had a balcony that would have been nice to use had the weather been a bit warmer. Also as a result of being located on the first floor, the water pressure in the shower and the availability of hot water were both shockingly good. (In general, it's probably best to get a room on the first or second floor). A wilting towel swan awaited us on our (slightly hard) bed, and was dismayed to find that the "free WiFi" existed only in name as the signal did not reach our room (again, on the first floor - you would think it would be within range). I wouldn't say that the woman at the front desk... The first and most important thing to address about "Vania Rooms Hotel" is that it is just another wing of the Klyazma hotel.

A wilting towel swan awaited us on our (slightly hard) bed, and was dismayed to find that the "free WiFi" existed only in name as the signal did not reach our room (again, on the first floor - you would think it would be within range). I wouldn't say that the woman at the front desk was unfriendly, but she was strangely defensive. Also, my husband opened his supposedly new house shoes to find two left ones. Lastly, there is little to no sound isolation. Granted, our neighbors were fairly noisy, but we could hear EVERYTHING that was giong on in the hallway and the rooms next to us. This may be something to consider if you are travelling with children or need a good night's sleep. There were a few options for breakfast, which is prepared upon your arrival in the hotel restaurant. Both my husband's and mine were decent, although they never brought his coffee. Probably one of the most important points in evaluating a hotel is cleanliness, and the Vania/Klyazma passed this test. It's not the cleanest place I've ever stayed - I moved an end table out from the wall and uncovered quite a bit of dust - but both the room and the bathroom were sanitary. In the end, I feel like I paid Moscow prices for something that wouldn't pass the test in the capital, but I also feel like it's probably the best thing going in Vladimir, so, we'll call it even, I guess?
