THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING WELCOME 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5* Couldn’t Recommend Enough. Plus made great allowances for my disability!”

We booked the Sunborn Yacht Hotel as a surprise for my dad’s 50th birthday. Even before we arrived the staff were so lovely, we called ahead to ensure the hotel could cater to me being in a wheelchair and they were very helpful. The check in process was easy and we were given all the information we needed. When my dad arrived to his room he had a cake, balloons and bubbly waiting as we booked the Birthday Arrival package which was way worth the money it looked great and he was so surprised! The rooms are absolutely stunning just as was the whole of the hotel - it didn’t disappoint in the slightest it was perfect for the special occasion! The staff were super helpful and upgraded my room due to needing some further upgrades due to my disability and illness. They were so understanding and catered to my every need. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough the rooms were beautiful, the whole hotel was beautiful, the bar and restaurant was lovely, the staff were so helpful and kind and we all had the best time! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Exceptional and very unique experience ”

It is not my first time at this amazing hotel. Absolutely love this hotel, very unique, with an amazing views and close to transport links and attractions in east london. The highlight of this place is the staff, very kind, friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. Food is very good as well. Very clean hotel and rooms.

Good location ”

Other than the staff member saying they couldn't find our booking and not telling us about needing to use our room key to access the elevator we had a nice stay there.

Something Different ”

Something out if the ordinary staying on the Sunborn. Great location, and throughly recommended.

Afternoon tea at a 5 star hotel, count us in. Since Gibraltar is under British control English is their spoken language. Our bus driver Shannon took us completely around this little island before bringing us to the stop for a snack and tea before returning us to the port drop off point. I'm glad we chose to book a shore excursion, get off the ship, learn about the history of Gibraltar and drive past The Rock. Little Sandwiches of ham, rolled tuna, cucumber, plus some sweets. Definitely not a fancy high tea like at Boston Library or my favorite white hotel with columns in Waikiki. This was a simple choose your own tea bag, pour your own hot water, help yourself to the two layer items split between 4 people. My favorites were the ham sandwich the bread was super soft, the ham sliced so thin. The scone or crumpet like a biscuit to cut in half to add some clotted cream and jam from a mini jar of jam. Shannon was knowledgeable and the kindest tour guide who helped whoever needed assistance onto a collapsible stool onto and off the bus.

Hair there. That's right, I found a hair on the wall near the hair dryer in the bathroom. I went to the lobby desk told them about it and requested a new room. The person told me all the rooms were booked that night which is amazing because she never looked to see. Clearly she is Psychic. She notified housekeeping and told them to do a double cleaning in the bathroom. They showed up, wiped off the hair, found a couple of spots on the floor, wiped that up with a hand wet towel thing and that was it. They told me this happens all the time because the girls clean fast. I should note I told the GM about this via their post stay survey. They responded by saying they did a thorough cleaning job. If that's thorough, I'm FDR. The room is ghastly. Totally dated as in 80s. I was afraid to use rhe shower which the bathroom had tiles, and old days decor. I mean it screamed 50s in appearance. The bed is hard, and basically just a mattress like thing on top of two blue bases. Mine nearly came off. I did have a water view. Room food options via service is poor and good luck getting into the restaurant. They will make a made to order omlette for breakfast, but the spread is poor and you have to go early, as I did for one day, to have hot. I note one day, because I checked out of that dump and went to the Novotel next to it, which is 1000 times better. Let me put it this way. 3rd class on the Titanic would have been better. The Posiden Adventure with you hanging on a Christmas tree upside down would have been better. Dump.

This is a different way to stay in a hotel, a dry docked boat. Overall the service was not bad and the rooms are decent. There is a restaurant and bar which is not bad. I was there for a party and they did a good job hosting the party. They are friendly and helpful. the rooms are a bit pricy so get prepared for that. Overall I would recommend and would stay again.

See the table in the picture? It has a nice view right? And it was empty when we arrived, and still empty when we left 1.5 hours later. But there were only 2 of us so we weren't allowed to sit there. Jus watch it from the middle of the room. They made accommodations to find space for other people outside, even though we'd requested this at booking time. Not for us though. Pretty poor service experience all 'round really.

Beautiful yatch in docks at East London. I attended and was playing music for a birthday party on the top deck. Place looked amazing and the staff where very friendly. The look of the boat is very plush. Didn't try the restaurant but we had warm canapé which was nice and presented well. Would like to spend a night and eat at the restaurant to access this hotel better.

We stumbled across this yacht while looking for somewhere to have a drink before heading to the O2. It was a really beautiful day and so the deck looked like a perfect place to sit for a couple of cocktails! The setting is really lovely, especially in the sunshine. Very dramatic views of the Thames all the way round the boat, and on a sunny day the water even looked appealing. The service was friendly & attentive. The cocktails were OK (a little on the pricey side, but to be expected). You're definitely paying for the setting though, which I would say is worth it! A really great place to come for something a little different.

Colourful cocktails!

View from the deck

Great location, good service, and nice venue. This is still a "hidden gem" for those who are needing hotel rooms or meeting space near the ExCel Convention Center. Docked permanently across the grass park from ExCel and Hotel Novotel, the Sunborn's impressive profile welcomes guests up its gangplank entrance aboard a unique yacht venue that can accommodate overnight guests or double as meetings/events space. Opened recently in the summer of 2014, this venue is quick to catch up to speed with the service and support of the most seasoned hotel properties in the area...and has worked through most of the learning curve issues that most brand new most of the learning curve issues that most venues painstakingly take awhile to work out.

Sunborn Yacht...great location for hotel or meeting space if you are attending the ExCel Convention Center

Just okay, but honestly not as nice of a hotel as we anticipated. The view from our room (the side opposite the water) is pretty disappointing. Our room tablet says the hotel bar is open until 2am on Saturdays, but late Sat night when we planned to order service, reception at the front desk told us those are old hours and it actually closes at 1am; staff said these hours were valid a year ago. Not sure why this hasn't been updated? Very well-made cocktails in the bar, but pricey. The queen bed in our room is actually more like two beds pushed together (there is a gap in the middle) which makes it a bit more uncomfortable for my fiancé and I to sleep closely. We can frequently hear very loud footsteps outside our room reverberating through our room, and there is no ventilation in the bathroom which has made our room stuffy. Service in general has been decent.

I wish I had the same experience as everyone else here but I did not at all! We arrived and were put into room 1030. When we got in, we noticed it was quite warm and stuffy so we turned the air down. We had plans so we left our stuff and came back, and it was still warm. I looked at the temp and it was 25* when we had turned it down to 15*. We tried dealing with it, turning it off and on, etc and nothing worked. My boyfriend and I don't like complaining so we just went to bed. I woke up an hour after falling asleep drenched in sweat, the temp was now 26* and I am mad and sweaty. I call down and they switch our rooms. SAME problem at 1046! The air is like on 23 when we get in, we turn it down to 16, and it has stayed above 22 all night, ranging from 22-26! SO annoying! I feel like others have had this problem before in these rooms and they put us in these rooms anyways! The carpet has huge brown stains, couch had brown stains, bathroom was tiny, everything is so outdated! Not worth the money I spent at all! When I told the staff at checkout, she said that if we paid for another night they would upgrade us to the water view! As if that was any kind of reconciliation. Ugh will not be back ever ever.

Brilliant idea having a luxury hotel and gourmet restaurant in a yacht landed in Thames. Everything is well organized and friendly stuff is there to warmly welcome you. My experience refers to the restaurant and the sea food menu. The sea food buffet had a huge variety of really fresh sea food and the desert at the end was also excellent. The most amazing thing while being on yacht is of course the view you can have while on deck with a glass of wine!

All aboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel London

• Stef Bottinelli

With beautiful cabins, stunning views and delicious food, the superyacht moored by the Excel in East London is not just a four star hotel, but a veritable experience.

Moored by the Royal Victoria Dock, right next to the Excel, Sunborn Yacht London is the only first floating hotel in the capital.

The superyacht arrived in the UK in April 2014 and opened to guests in the autumn of the same year. It’s been very popular ever since, thanks to its beauty, interesting concept, proximity to the Excel and the city and the fact that it has a marriage licence.

The 128 metre-long, five storey craft boasts 136 roomy and elegant cabins and suites, spectacular views of Canary Wharf and central London, fine dining in the form of the Lands End Restaurant, the Sundown Bar, meeting and conference rooms, an auditorium and for those in need of pampering, even an Elemis SPA.

With its grand central staircase, spectacular crystal chandelier, teak wood panelling and brass railings, staying at the Sunborn feels like being on a luxurious cruise ship (albeit one that doesn’t sail, as this yacht does not have an engine). And with kingsize room prices starting at just under £140 per night, this is a cruise that won’t break the bank and it’s certainly cheaper than buying your own yacht or chartering one.

We visited Sunborn London on a splendid autumnal Sunday. We were immediately impressed by our spacious and stylish room (a term preferred by the management rather than cabin, which conjures up a cramped space), all wood and clean lines with  a comfortable double bed, sitting room area, an all white bathroom stocked with Molton Brown products, mini bar, tea and coffee facilities, a large TV, free WIFI, a tablet and stunning views across the Thames.

After settling in, we headed for the Sundown Bar, and enjoyed a glass of wine on deck, watching the sun setting over the London skyline – a very relaxing way to spend the end of the weekend.

Post  aperitif  we headed upstairs to the Lands End Restaurant, were dinner was fine indeed. The menu has a modern British/European feel and is well thought out, with simple, classic and delicious dishes. Starters include mouthwatering scallops with spring onion, pea purée, soft shell crab (£13), octopus tranche, red pepper & onion confit, avocado, lime & chilli (£11.00) and chicken and leek mousse and Shimeji mushroom & honey roast ham, chive beurre blanc (£11.00). Mains feature duck leg confit, celery root, roasted plum, watercress soubise (£22.00), sea bass, fennel textures, Polonaise sauce (£21.00) and pickled & slow braised pork belly, buttered savoy cabbage, carrot purée, beetroot with cider jus (£20.00). Vegetarians are well catered for too with at least two imaginative and tasty options per course, such as an entrée of cauliflower and ginger pudding, spinach shortbread, Parmesan foam (£10.00) and mains of vegetable roulade, spinach, goat cheese with tomato fondue (£18.00) and gnocchi, Stilton cheese, roasted almonds and herbs (£16.00).

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel doesn’t just offer a luxurious stay, but a real experience. Its proximity to the Excel and the city and its connections to central London by public transports or boat, make it an excellent alternative to standard accommodation, whether you are in the capital for pleasure or for business, or simply want to spend a relaxing weekend pretending you are indeed chartering a yacht, sailing away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Luxe Review

All aboard this luxury superyacht hotel in London, open for you to stay right now

Our plans to sail the French Riviera for the summer may have been somewhat derailed this year. But thankfully, it turns out we can live out our superyacht dreams closer to home – and we can book in to stay, right now. 

The luxury Sunborn Yacht Hotel, London is a floating hotel – so it’s also the perfect option for those who would rather avoid any choppy waters. Seasickness is so passé. 

Moored at the Royal Victoria Docks, by the ExCel centre, the Sunborn London Yacht Hotel is the city’s only superyacht hotel, and one of the most unique luxury experiences in London. The yacht hotel had its grand reopening this weekend, as the UK hospitality industry opens back up.

Each room and suite of the 136-room floating hotel boasts beautiful river or dock views, while the plush Yacht Executive Rooms have their own private terrace or balcony, too. Every room is stocked with high-end Prija toiletries, and offers a new in-room dining experience, with an extended menu, Grab & Go wrapped breakfast items and snacks – all ordered through the rooms’ tablet.

Along with the stays at the hotel beginning again, comes the reopening of the yacht’s gorgeous Sundown bar: arguably the most elegant place in Canary Wharf to enjoy an aperitif. The third-deck dining venue offers panoramic views across the water, exclusive wines and spirits from high-end distilleries, and a sumptuous menu of bar bites, too. Guests must pre-book their place in order to regulate numbers, while seating at the restaurant and bar have been adjusted to safely social distance, too. 

The hotel’s Land’s End restaurant is also back open for bookings. The high-end restaurant promises to take your tastebuds on a ‘voyage of discovery’ with a refined menu of European and Asian fusion, a sumptuous setting and enviable views. 

For its reopening, the hotel has had a deep, hospital grade sanitisation of all rooms and public spaces. It’s had months to learn and perfect its safety measures: during lockdown, rather than closing its doors, the hotel acted as a place for NHS staff at the nearby Nightingale Hospital to stay, and served breakfast and dinner in the yacht’s Land’s End restaurant. 

More of the new precautions on board to protect guest and staff wellbeing are a digital system for checking in and out, protective screens on reception and sanitiser stations every 2 metres. 

We thought we wouldn’t be back on the water for a while – but a luxury superyacht break in the capital has sailed to number one in our staycation wishlist. 

Sunborn London offers nightly rates from £109 In a Classic Room. Booking details at sunbornhotels.com/london
