That was the exact same room we stayed in a couple of years ago! Room 4038. Just checked some old pics to confirm. How cool. The room has not changed what so ever though. Nor has that shower head :-) Still dated. That said we did enjoy our stay. Quite the novelty. Some fab restaurants nearby as well. Keep up the awesome content Tim!

I think it's beautiful, and not as expensive as I thought it would be. Especially for London. I loved all the polished wood and brass, made it look very 1930s

ps. apparently it has no engine been removed and she was towed over from the Netherlands a few years ago.

I think this is the nicest hotel I've seen you visit. It looked fancy but not tacky and looks incredibly clean. Even the price was super reasonable.

This ”yacht” was built to be a hotel. It doesn’t have engines or bridge or anything else you would need to operate a yacht. Before London it was located in Naantali, Finland in early 2000’s.

I thought the room and everything looked gorgeous! Bathroom was plain but can be overlooked as overall experience looked great!...
Tim how about staying in an accommodation in Leeds castle in Kent? Would make a good video!

Compared to a lot of hotels you've stayed in, I didn't think the room looked dated at all. Being in simple and classic colours (no ugly designs) it looked elegant, relaxing and very clean. I would have willingly taken that divan home with me. 😅You did well in paying extra for the view over the river, the sunset over the city was amazing. I wonder who the yacht belonged originally, they certainly didn't think about saving money when they started fitting it out. Great video! 🤩

It looks sooo posh! I would feel intimidated as I'm the opposite of posh. I once stayed in a luxury hotel for a work course and hated it. It had several restaurants and the waiters would walk around with silver trays and a towel over their arm. Give me a Travelodge any day! :)

I'd never heard of this hotel before, but it looks like a lovely place to stay. The main areas look so luxurious. What a unique experience and great for a plane enthusiast like me as it's so close to City airport. I'm envious of anyone who could afford to own a yacht like this!

I stayed there for a few days over new years- great spot and was reasonably priced, decent breakfast- even had Marmite sachets. It was very handy to the Elizabeth line (2 minute walk) which was a direct connection to Heathrow.

The jack flag (seen incorrectly flying at the stern of the ship) ought to be an ensign.
The jack is normally flown off a jackstaff which should be at the bow of a ship.

Haven’t watched it yet but I’ve been on that boat every day for about 5 years way back as used to work for the daily telegraph in Canary Wharf and we used to send free copies there . So I used to drive them there . Beautiful hotel on the water

That seems to be a finnish yacht of some sort. It screamed Finland; the locks in some doors are Abloy, the faucets were Oras etc.
Edit:
Sunborn is a finnish family business, so that answers my questions. :)

You and the family really should try an actual cruise, I went on Iona last July, loved it so much I’ve got 3 cruises booked for this year and two for the following year ☺️

I've watched a few of your videos and must say that they are always so honest, as this one is, too. I liked the room, though those problems you point out would irritate me as well, particularly if I were staying, say, three nights. Increasingly, people need sockets. I have sight problems, so those reflective ceilings would keep me out of the bar areas. Lovely room (cabin), as you say, but that balcony! They should have put a ledge with a couple of breakfast bar type stools out there. I don't know how they could use that as a selling point. You'd have to be over six feet tall to see over the side. A really entertaining film. Thanks.

They should melt down all the little gold bits and renovate their bathrooms. ⛵

[cathycooper]

Bathroom and balcony a bit of a let down

[JamesSale-qpsg]

Tim you should go to The Lagomar in Lanzarote. Used to belong to Omar Shariff and is like a James Bond set part restaurant and self catering apartment and quite unique.

[ForceFreeTrainergirl]

I'd definitely stay there. You might have thought it was dated but I loved it. I loved all that shiny polished wood. The balcony was a bit small and the side a bit high but still, on a nice evening that would be lovely. I thought the price was really reasonable. Shame about the air con, hope they fixed it for the next person. If I was flying out of the airport it would definitely be a place to stay.

One has to admit, it is really well maintained. No signs of chipped wood and furniture in the room is really something.
