Start with the positives. The guys are very nice and the facility is clean, especially for being in the water. And the location is good for those using the train station.
But we checked out early at substantial expense.
You have a choice when sleeping. Heat or noise. The boat is adjacent to a heavily trafficked bridge and there is no air conditioning. Surprisingly, unlike other boats, it absorbs heat very well. So, even with outside temperatures in the 18-19C range the room will get up towards 27-28. Even being from a desert climate - that's not sleeping conditions.
So for two nights we did the open everything to cool the room (the bathroom area has no windows and stays warm), then close to sleep. That works for a couple hours before things are too warm. Even with the windows closed you will hear heavy vehicles on the bridge - the low rumble isn't something that is easy to block. They do provide earplugs. I'm also hearing impaired and was woken up by sound multiple times during the night. The pillows also aren't. Literally, folded in half mine started to resemble a bath towel.
The west side of the room (all the windows) has floor to ceiling blackout blinds. The east side has a window above the shower and in the door. There is no way to block that light coming from the east.
Lastly, it is a nit, but when housekeeping they appear to have thrown out our luffa that was hanging in the shower.
My wife agreed to a 10% discount against all three nights, meaning we paid for three and only stayed two and got an adjustment that covered the luffa and a token for the aggravation and literal lack of sleep. It's what she agreed to, but with a fully booked place they certainly should have done more.
If you decide to stay, have dinner at Cafe Alma. Excellent. And bring your own pillow. read more
