Super cozy room with the nicest view! We slept very well and it was a very unique stay

Could have been cleaner, the bedsheets were moldy and some of the dishes were not clean (probably from other guests but they should double check). It’s a bit annoying that the bathroom is far away but it wasn’t a deal breaker

Sleeping in a boat is a good idea, but this quality/price ratio is really bad, go somewhere else!

4.0

Sleeping on a boat is a great experience in itself. But this boat is far too expensive for what it is and for the services (cf bad points below).

Firstly, if you come by car, it's difficult. The marina car park is reserved and we are not allowed to park there. Finding a parking spot close to the boat is therefore impossible. When you go outside of the Marina park it's already more than 10 minutes by walk from the boat. And finding a parking spot there was complicated: almost all private space. Secondly, the boat wasn't clean: there were cobwebs, with big spiders on them, and it smelt bad (like if you never open the windows for months), so I even wonder if they clean regularly... Thirdly, none of the lights worked apart from one on one side of the boat. Therefore, on one side it was dark, and on the other it was a kind of a building strong exit light, far from pleasant, far from the cosy atmosphere presented on the pictures. Fourthly, the dining table was broken. So, as you can guess, it wasn't practical to eat there. But the worst thing was the mosquitoes. There were far too many. We didn't open the windows though. We tried to kill as many as we could (we spent an hour) but there were always more. We got really eaten up all night. I can understand that there are one or two mosquitoes, but this was way too many... It would be good if the boat was maintained/cleaned and therefore disinfected of the mosquito nest. Additionally, the public toilets are not far away, but there is no light on the path, so be careful, take a torch, as you risk falling into the water!
