"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten.

"Schönes gemütliches Hausboot in einer kleinen Marina. Einrichtung war alles da was man braucht - sogar WLAN und zwei Fernseher. Bett war frisch überzogen und Handtücher lagen ebenfalls bereit. Wasser wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt. Am Tag der Anreise habe ich morgens die Nachricht bekommen mit Adresse und einem Schlüsselcode. Völlig unkompliziert. Eigentlich ruhig gelegen - aber gegenüber der Marina geht eine Landstraße vorbei , ab und zu hört man mal ein Auto. Alles in allem eine coole...

Top Europe Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Trafalgar Square, London

10/10 Excellent

"A great location for central london. The room was very clean and we have stayed at the hotel multiple times. We would highly recommend this for any Londo stay."

The Grand at Trafalgar Square

10/10 Excellent

"The location by Trafalgar Square was great, close to everything that we wanted to see and less than 5 minutes walk to 2 London Tube stations to get anywhere else. Easy walk to Covent Garden, across the Thames, Picadilly or south to see the sites. The amenities including easy access to sundries, refillable water bottles and water dispenser were indispensable. There is a lounge on the ground floor with all day available tea or coffee, expresso service which we very much appreciated after a long day out. We would definitely stay here again."
