    Due to bad weather , it was very uncomfortable to rich the boat, or to rich the old town.

    We were a bit puzzled about where to find the property, specifically, what to look for! We thought it is a normal hotel, but it was a ship. Although later we noticed it was mentioned in the comments on booking.com, but IMHO it would be better to point it out in the main booking page as well.

    The fact that this was a ship/boat on the river, with a window opening to the Rhein river and the rooftop sitting/smoking area + a small jacuzzi. The view was great and the crew were professional and friendly.

    I wish I'd paid better attention to the booking options and, if possible, chosen a room that looked out over the river, instead of the riverbank.

    Staff was friendly and professional, instructions regarding parking were clear, breakfast was very good, location was excellent.

    I thought everything was perfect! I confess that when I booked it I didn’t pay attention to the fact that it gives a boat and I was completely in love with everything. From the service of all employees to the accommodations! It will certainly be a place that I will come back a lot and recommend to all my friends!

    Floating business day :)

    • Solo traveller
    • Double or Twin Room with River View

    The parking is far for someone with a few luggages for someone with kids. If you are coming for a few days and you have a few luggages, just make sure to stop your car where the boat is stationed and then you will need to go back and park it. Also, Waze and Google Maps made me go to the closed parking side... Thus, I must say that for the parking and the best way to arrive it was not very clear. Also, make sure you receive the confirmation email with the reception phone number, because the phone number on the initial reservation is for the offices and they close at 5PM.

    The hotel is a boat! It usually is a cruise boat during summer time, and during winter it stays on the deck. I must say I was extremely surpised when I found myself where I was going, as in the description I had not realized, I was booking into a boat! I liked the hotel, the cleanliness, the staff was so friendly! The location is beautiful from the inside. I had the room with the river view... I had the feeling that I was floating. It was really a quite surprising and beautiful experience.

    My one and only complaint is that we never had a working safe in the room, after repeated requests to have it fixed over our 6 night stay. The engineer came once to our knowledge, but before 8am and we were still in bed.

    This was an amazing place to stay, only steps from the Alt Stadt and a few minutes walk to major transit. Staying right on the river, watching the current go by, was so peaceful. Though the room was small for comparable hotel standards, we didn’t need more when we had the various dining/lounge options to hang out in. For the first time in many years of travelling, the air exchange units did what they were supposed to! The bathroom fans were efficient, the AC and the heat BOTH worked. I can’t tell you how impressed I was by this one thing. :) Breakfast was superb every morning, with something for all of us with different diets. The service was wonderful, the staff were amazing, especially Wolfgang, the bartender/porter who treated our friends so well. They had the best time!
