This is my second stay at Ahoy London. And it was just a great as my first trip. The boat is cosy and homely. The hosts are warm, welcoming and accommodating. The location is only a short walk from tubes and buses.

It was a very unique stay, and we had much more room on the barge than we thought we would have. It was an excellent location, and it was actually way more quiet than I anticipated given the location. We felt very safe and there were plenty of restaurant options nearby.

We had a gorgeous stay on "Princess Lucy". Loved the quaint and cozy atmosphere of staying in the boat and lovely furnishings.. Prompt and helpful communication with the host. Loved the proximity to Little Venice and lovely local food offerings, particularly the Bridge House. One of the highlights was our tour down the cana into Camdenl provided by the host.

Beautifully boat in a great location, layout & design style were just what we were hoping for. Check in was smooth and easy. Holiday lighting added to the charm. Excellent transport links, wide choice of nice restaurants in all price ranges nearby - Tesco Express just around the corner. Overnight stay so didn’t get to enjoy the deck or use the bikes (or boat in season). Would definitely stay again.

    The room was lovely, very clean, definitely would stay again, it was really great value for money, kitchen was equipped well, although it could do with a couple more forks (but that is a very minor thing) definitely will recommend. Lovely place to stay, only 30 min canal walk away from Camden Market. Me and my daughter really enjoyed a walk down by the canal, 5 minutes walk away from the room, to see the house boats that were moored there. Overall felt very safe and cosy. 10/10

    Fabulous! We had a lovely time on this, yacht in the marina, Mark met us at the gate and showed us around the boat. He's very friendly and helpful and the boat was very well kept. It's in a great location, lots of bars and restaurants very close by and Tower Bridge is just a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended!

    The houseboat has been renovated incredibly well and has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The facilities inside the boat were perfect so that you could really settle in as if it was home. Everything was super clean, the bed was perfect and the person who greeted us was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

    Fantastically novel stay in central London. We are used to living on boats, yachts etc, and therefore found the nautical quirks of this converted fishing trawler to be normal. The space of both the two bedrooms and the lounge area made it so much better than any reasonably priced hotel could provide, and a perfect place to relax between visiting what London offers.. The location close to Battersea Power Station, and tube and river connections made it very easy to get to and from.

    Location was great! There was a free hotel boat over to Canary Wharf which you could then hop onto the Uber boats from and go pretty much anywhere in 20 minutes! Complimentary warm cookies on arrival was a nice touch. Room was air conditioned on arrival which was great in the heat. Clean room with a lovely bathroom. Nice and modern. Very comfortable stay. Even parking was easy and car park was never really full.
