Editorial Summary

The creator explores the Sunborn London, which is described as the only super yacht in the United Kingdom that has been converted into a four-star floating hotel. Located in the London Docklands near the Excel Exhibition Center, the vessel is permanently moored and offers views of the city and the river. The creator reviews a double room that includes a lounge area and a balcony, noting that while the interior feels somewhat dated, the wood is well-maintained and the bed is comfortable. The review highlights several practical aspects, such as the need for power adapters due to European sockets and the lack of control over the air conditioning. The bathroom is described as basic, with the creator expressing disappointment regarding the quality of the fixtures. After touring the ship's amenities, including the Land's End restaurant and the bar area, the creator concludes by discussing the value of the stay. They suggest that paying extra for a river-facing view is worthwhile to enhance the yacht experience. Despite some minor inconveniences, the creator finds the stay to be a unique experience.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I've always wanted to stay on a luxury yacht and now I have the son born in London

the room was really nice it did feel a little bit dated I was quite surprised about the bathroom

the bed was nice and comfy however I couldn't control the air conditioning so the room was quite warm

I definitely want to check out the sunborn in Gibraltar to compare because I know that's got a casino and that's all also a lot bigger

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a European plug adapter as the room may have limited UK sockets
