"Wir haben zu viert (zwei Pärchen) einen fantastischen Urlaub auf diesem wunderschönen Hausboot verbracht. Der Platz ist ideal aufgeteilt: Jedes Pärchen hat einen eigenen Schlafbereich und es gibt einen gemütlichen Wohnbereich zum Essen.Die Ausstattung hat uns vollkommen überzeugt: Küche top eingerichtet, Dusche/WC einwandfrei. Highlights sind die Terrasse und die großen Fenster mit traumhaftem Blick aufs Wasser – man ist mitten in der Natur! Schwimmen kann man direkt vom Boot oder vom nahen...

"Pros: Das Ambiente ist traumhaft. Für uns ist es klar, dass wir nächstes Mal wieder ein Hausboot mieten werden, wenn wir nach Hamburg kommen. Cons: Mit dem ÖV (spricht mit dem Bus ab Bahnhof) kamen wir nicht wirklich zurecht. Wir sind keine Stadtmenschen und sind uns überhaupt nicht gewohnt mit dem ÖV unterwegs zu sein. Für uns war es am Einfachsten mit der Regiobahn zu Fahren und dann zu Fuss zum Hausboot. Die 15-20 Minuten zu Fuss war für uns kein Problem."

Top Northern Europe Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

8/10 Good

"The room was small. The SPA for exercise had limited equipment. The breakfast was excellent as was the location. The staff was exceptional and very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and obtaining taxis."

CABINN Copenhagen

10/10 Excellent

"Although the room is very small it has everything you need, TV, shower, plenty of plug sockets. The beds and bedding is comfy. The only thing I really could have done with is a fan as it was warm in the room and a hairdryer. The breakfast was good although more fruit needed especially bananas. Thank you for a great stay. Will return."

Clarion Hotel The Hub

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great choice for my Oslo break Read a few negative reviews and can’t understand what people were on about It’s a big hotel and yes is very busy for breakfast if you arrive at peak times…but choice at breakfast was superb way above 4star standard Lifts amazingly efficient and pool area lovely Only negative for me was lack of wardrobe space in standard double room and had to leave a lot of clothes in cases Will recommend hotel So convenient to train station Staff lovely and knowledgeable"

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good

"Solid hotel convenient to Dublin airport. The breakfast was the highlight, paying for parking was the lowlight. Including parking in the price or letting customers know ahead of time would be more transparent. It was crazy crowded, so having only three elevators complicates things when checking in. The fitness center is way too small (with no air flow) for the amount of folks staying there. That said, beds were comfy, shower had great water pressure, rooms came with a fridge. Overall, a reliable choice for the night before a flight."
