We thought that the overall vibe was a little chi-chi with non-essentials taking up a lot of the worktop space. There was a lack of several items which could have improved the stay: no television, a coffee machine would not work for us, swallowing a pod, but dispensing no coffee. No hand towels in bathroom or kitchen. No drainage rack for washing-up. No corkscrew, despite several bottles of wine provided. No bathmat. We could not use the projector, as we brought only an i-pad. We found we were running short of water (on the gauge) quite quickly and it had to be topped up.

The property was attractive, warm and comfortable, great location, with excellent access to outside amenities. Excellent introduction by Boathouse staff.

Cob webs in the boat Heating wasnt very warm Toilet facilities were a challenge at times Water pump was noisy therefore had to be turned on only when using water

Location was good the outside Area was clean and well maintained

Nothing - slight glitch with managing heating (temps had dropped quickly) but we able to resolve via quick phone call

Beautifully boat in a great location, layout & design style were just what we were hoping for. Check in was smooth and easy. Holiday lighting added to the charm. Excellent transport links, wide choice of nice restaurants in all price ranges nearby - Tesco Express just around the corner. Overnight stay so didn’t get to enjoy the deck or use the bikes (or boat in season). Would definitely stay again.

Nothing everything was faultless

Very difficult to actually convey how exemplary and unique this hotel boat is! It truly is a luxury retreat in a fantastic location perfect to self cater or dine out with every possible eatery and supermarket literally on your doorstep You feel so elevated and special in this location with a massive private pontoon area in the evening The interiors are immaculate with a full service kitchen and luxury bathroom This place really needs to be experienced at least once Normally ready for home after a short break but saddened to leave this beautiful resort Cara and the management team are so proactive and available to help anytime

Downsides, it’s a boat and as such has limited storage, so little space to hang clothes if you were staying for more than a few nights, also nowhere to plug hairdryer in near a mirror, so I used my iPad. However, these are very small flaws in an otherwise a perfect place to stay!

Location was perfect, just a short walk from Paddington station along the canal. M&S food hall, greggs and Tesco all very close by. Several good places to eat without having to travel, but sometimes you had to book first. Romantic and special! An area with a good community feel with big screens around that people could meet up in. Boat very comfortable and special, so much more than just a hotel room.

Bathroom facilities took a little getting used to 😊 but to be expected staying on a boat.

I travelled with my daughter, my sister and my nice at the age of fourteen-and for four adults is the second bed very small- for a family with small children would it be fineFor a very special stay

The Boathouse is situated near Tube Edgware Road-its easy to go from there in any direction, it is very stylish and clean ab the stuff is nice

The boat is really central in a very public area and we felt quite exposed initially but soon got used to it by our second night.

It was quirky, fun but really clean and well equipped. Loved the terrace on the top.

The water pressure but understandable that’s a boathouse.

The environment and atmosphere made us really relaxing.

Although its a closed area, first night some kids where running on deck of the boat. After turning on some lights they went away.

Ran out of water late at night and Cara helped us out real quick ! Thx 🙏

Everything from the communication before the stay, right up to checkout was great.

The boat definitely needs better 'Private' signage, twice we had to kick people off that just boarded for a photo op. Could also put a lock on the outer deck door. The directions were also not very clear on how to reach the boat, we thought it was the dining boat closer to Paddington, also called the Boathouse. Please update directions to include the Floating Pocket Park at the far east end of the canal as a foot bridge blocks the view of the actual boat and we had trouble locating it. The boat also needs many minor updates as the wear and tear of the years are evident (counter edges falling apart, black out curtains not functioning due to missing velcro and broken pull string attachments, pull out couch sagging and collapsing, mismatched wine glasses - total of 3 due to breakage?). The bathroom also needs a bathmat and face cloths, and dishes need to be inspected for cleanliness. Breakfast amenities were ok, but it said milk was provided but this was only a small sample for coffee, not enough for the cereal provided.

Loved the location and the novelty of staying on a boat. The bed and bedding was exceptionally comfy although the pull out couch felt like it was going to fall apart. Loved the upper deck sitting area and the amenities in the bathroom (hair straightener and products).

Cleanliness could have been better, sofa bed, kettle, and bar stools at breakfast bar all need work as they were damaged when we arrived.

Very cool design, great location, lots of light and an unusual quirky stay.
