This facility is spectacular! Right on the Thames in the heart of London, plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Couches, chairs, tables both inside and outside, this can accomodate a lot of people on the two levels. Bottom level is for sleeping, if you wake up early the upstairs will insure quiet, and entertain you. I would stay here again.
This was a fantastic place that was exactly what it said it was, and exactly what we needed. Even better: there had been comments that the WiFi and cell signals did not work in the bedrooms, but they did. And there were two TV available for use for presentations. The wharf area was wonderfully quiet with the Tower Bridge literally right next door. Plenty of restaurants right there or right across the bridge, making for a great walk around dinner. I will definitely try and stay here again.
Fantastic location and facilities. Check in was all on time and given a run down of all the facilities on the houseboat. Host was available 24/7 to answer queries.
We had a wonderful stay for my Mums Birthday. Boat was very clean and what a wonderful location. Letting company were polite and helpful all the time. Would definitely recommend and return xx
We had a very special time on Matrix Island with grandparents and teenage children. Superb location and very attentive hosts. We will return to this gem in the future!
The houseboat was everything we could want (except air conditioned, and we knew that going in). It was clean, chic and well located - perfect place to enjoy London. I had never visited the docks neighborhood before and it is charming - quiet, pretty and right next door to Northeasterns campus in London. Loved our visit.
Fabulous location next to Tower Bridge. Very accessible to Tube, restaurants and the marathon course. We are a family of sailors so staying at the marina was delightful! Boat had everything we needed and as boat owners, we were well equipped to settle in. Truly hated to leave!
If you can adjust to the close quarters on a boat, this is a great alternative to an apartment. There is always something to watch in St. Katharines Dock and the security and marina facilities are excellent. I wouldnât recommend the boat for young children but at 80 and 78, my sister and I managed just fine. The beds were surprisingly comfortable. The property management responded quickly and courteously to our questions. Thank you for a fun week.
Location is prime and it's fun staying on a boat. Had problems with water supply twice due to hookup/water supply problems, which were fixed within hours both times but still engendered some anxiety and inconvenience. Communication was quick with Altido, but sometimes confused and incomplete. Overall, would stay again but with awareness of things being slightly confused at times.
