i was grateful for the convenient location near the excel centre. the dlr station was only a short walk away, a very convenient factor. the room was clean and the decor was beautiful. the bed provided great comfort and the quiet atmosphere was lovely.
the minibar was not complimentary, a bit disappointing considering the overall price point. i believe clarity on this would enhance guest expectations.

i found the breakfast quite sufficient. it included normal buffet fare. i also appreciated the prompt room service.. the food i ordered was very tasty. i also liked the clean facilities.
this led to queues when trying to move around the yacht. i also found the balcony quite small at just two feet wide. i could not see over the metal balcony wall unless i stood up.
