We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, a floating hotel which is a unique idea, and it really is perfect for a special treat. Take this into consideration when planning your trip to London. The location is ok for exploring central London too but can take a little while to get to other areas via the DLR. Rather than paying the expensive bar prices at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, we bought a bottle of wine and some snacks from here which we enjoyed in our room! There are restaurants in very close proximity to the hotel and also a Nisa local and Tesco Express. We discovered that you could save money on all transport if you used a contactless bank card, paying cash was always more expensive, so if you have one use it. The ExCel is literally next door and the O2 arena can be reached easily either by the Emirates Cable Car or DLR/Tube to North Greenwich. We had a superb night Bruno Mars certainly knows how to put on a show! If you are visiting the O2 arena the location of the Sunborn Yacht Hotel is ideal. The purpose of our visit was to see Bruno Mars in concert at the O2 arena and the location appeared perfect, and it was. Get off at Royal Victoria (Custom House was closed) and take a short walk towards the ExCel. How to get there to the Sunborn Yacht Hotelįrom Paddington it was easy, change at Canning Town on the DLR and take the service towards Beckton. WiFi was excellent and available throughout the Yacht. We chose to eat out and bought snacks to have with the complimentary tea and coffee before we went out for the day. There is also a restaurant where you can choose to have breakfast at an extra cost. It is a large bar area with a extensive selection but drinks are very expensive, as you would expect on a yacht in London. The views from the outside area look over to the O2 Arena and the Emirates Cable Car. The Sundown bar lounge area is directly behind reception and leads out onto a deck area with seating. The Sundown Bar on the Sunborn Yacht Hotel We were very happy our room, do have a look around… The wardrobes were a decent size with ironing facilities, the only criticism would be that there were only 4 hangers, not a huge problem but what is it with the majority of hotels and the lack of hangers! There was a good size digital safe which was big enough for a laptop too. The desk area was a decent size, with multiple plug sockets both English flat three pin and European round two pin all around the room. There was a sofa and coffee table with a TV opposite and there was also a selection of books available. The shower was a good size too with complimentary Molten Brown toiletries which was a real treat! As on cruise ships there is a lip and step into the bathroom, do remember this, unfortunately we didn’t which resulted in a few stubbed toes. The room was bigger than we had expected with a really comfortable queen size bed. The window was decent size looking out onto the dock, not a spectacular view, but enough to watch the world go by. We booked a Classic King room with Dockview and were not disappointed. This enabled us to start exploring the yacht. The staff were really helpful, we were able to check in and and our bags where looked after until our room was ready. As you walk out of the lift a pretty impressive large chandelier and two curved staircases greet you.Ĭheck in time is 3 pm, and we arrived early. The entrance to the hotel is actually two lifts that take you up to reception. The welcome and booking in at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel If you have visited our blog before you will know that we love cruising, so we were very excited to stay on a yacht. We stayed at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel for 2 nights on a trip to London. Sunborn Yacht Hotel, London – Paul and Carole’s Review
