"My family stayed for four nights in July 2025 (parents, two teen boys) and we really liked the bunkbeds and layout and uniqueness of staying on a houseboat. It's in a gated boat community where lots of people live full time on their boats. It's about an 8 minute walk to Canary Wharf, which is convenient, but it is a bit farther away from a lot of tourist spots and closer to the financial district which is a different vibe. The place is quite new and very clean and well appointed and it's...

"Everthing good, well equipped. Nice neighbourhood. "

"What a great location! We were close to everything we wanted and had a great stay. There was plenty of room for the five of us. After two weeks of traveling, the washer and dryer were a welcome sight as well. Chris was very helpful in making sure our stay was perfect. Thank you. I recommend staying on the Dana "

"Something a little different for an event I attended at the Excel and it was perfect. A few stops from the venue and the boat itself if is 'as new' condition"

"This is a fun place to stay in so much as my room had a massive outside area, the bed was great and I could look out over the water to watch the fun of Canary Wharf Its very very basic. I had no shower gel etc in the shower, the toilet is a marine toilet, no water offered (or available) so needed me to visit a local shop. Its near all the bars so quite noisy. I'd stay there again but not for that price. Its too expensive for what it is. "

The Grand at Trafalgar Square

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location for a short visit. Walk to all the main tourist spots. Right off Trafalgar Square but on a nice leafy street with double glazing so we slept well. Staff are lovely. Room decor was a bit dated but bathroom has been modernised and the bed was very comfy. Room was huge. Very hard to find that in London. Good value for the area. Would stay again "

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent position for the theatres and very clean and modern. My fault for not looking into it better but no where to put your luggage and no tea and coffee facilities, this is stated on it but i didnt realise. There was also alot of noise possibly from a night till really very late which qas very annoying. But it was clean and the staff were fabulous. "
