Absolute stunning experience! Maybe it is because the hotel is fairly new, but the staff were amazing and very nice! The hotel is modern/fancy, has everything needed (except perhaps 1 thing: I was missing power outlets in the bathroom). Tea and coffee are good quality, as well as the equipment (hair dryer, ironing board, etc). Rooms are cozy, beds are comfy and really clean. (There is a common bedbug issue in the UK, but definitely not in this hotel!) There is a nice bar downstairs that offers welcome drinks at 5 pm. I think there is no breakfast option but there is a kitchenette in the room so you can prep your breakfast and store food in the small fridge.

The hotel is located in a ship with a varied history - used during wartimes, but also for trade, then for a playboy‘s party life, it had been left unused for many years before the current owners restored it. Hotel rooms are designed as cabins with en-suite bathrooms, breakfast and drinks are served in the upper deck. We loved the design of the rooms and common areas - high quality and nicely classic without any kitsch. Service was impeccable, and while breakfast was rather simple, the bar served very creative cocktails. Certainly a very unique experience!
