Off Paris Seine

13th Arrondissement

"Really unique and special place to stay in Paris. Stunning location enjoyed in the bar and pool area. Lovely place to relax and enjoy the views. We were upgraded to a fantastic suite and offered complimentary bubbly to celebrate a big birthday. Very comfortable and well appointed. Really kind and sweet staff. Location near to the metro so very convenient. Be aware of the slight rocking when larger boats go past! A great, fun place to stay where they made us feel special with superb service....

The Amsterdam boat Zaandam

Zaandam

"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

Enjoy the liberty and tranquility on the water. Close to Amsterdam

Amsterdam North

"The houseboat was comfortable and our host was so friendly and accommodating. While we loved our stay, it's worth noting that the location is further from the city centre than we had expected and amenities like the washroom are not what we expected (cannot flush toilet paper and very small shower). We did not mind this being avid campers, but figured its worth noting for other people who may want more comfortable features for their vacation. "

Top Europe Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza County Hall London

8/10 Good

"Housekeeper accidentally rolled up the bedsheets with my daughter’s favorite stuffy inside (that we purchased in Japan). Hotel was going to contact laundry facility but never followed up after we left. Otherwise, everything was great."

Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin

4/10 Poor

"We were made to wait for check in(understandable) but the service was cold. When we then checked in at 3pm and went to room it had yet to be made and was filthy from the previous guests. What is most annoying is what happened/didn't happen next. No customer care, no management, pretty poor all round. The lack of service or care ruined the experience. Would never book again"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Birmingham

2/10 Terrible

"Absolutely shocking. The air con had stopped working but this information wasn’t given to us. We checked in and overhead another guest talking about the lack of air con so we asked and were sheepishly told we could either have a refund or a fan. We went to the room to assess the situation and it was awful. We received about 8 emails prior to check in, asking if we wanted to upgrade our stay but no one thought to pre warn us of the biblical temperatures. We were told that the air con in the building wasn’t sufficient to service all the rooms to the degree of heat we’ve been having which would seem to be a massive oversight for a chain as big as Radisson. As it was so late in the day, we couldn’t find alternative accommodation so had to return home instead which ruined a birthday weekend that we had planned. Luckily we managed to find alternative accommodation the next day but I feel a lot more could have been done by the staff and hotel. Surely there is a sister hotel they could have contacted or at least tried to fix the situation but they couldn’t have cared less. They very much gave the air of just trying to get away with it as best as they could and were trying to keep as much business through omittance of truth. Absolutely diabolical way to treat customers."

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

2/10 Terrible

"Booked a twin room and given a king. Messaged while out to get sorted, message not reads. They did send housekeeping in at 11pm when we got back but I ended up covering the duvets to speed things up. Shower has black mould - room 306. No excuse for that - park plaza / radisson have enough guests and should do the basics right. Not good enough"

Strand Palace Hotel

4/10 Poor

"The hotel is great good location, good rooms, excellent restaurant for both evening meals and breakfast. Unfortunately check in is an absolute joke, arrived at the hotel around 3.30 pm to be told the rooms we’re not ready and would not be ready for some time, after waiting for an hour we decided to eat in the restaurant, which was excellent, as we need to be at the theatre for 7pm and would need to shower and change first. Before entering the restaurant I went to to reception to enquire how much longer the rooms we’re going to be. I was told six minutes for one, and no time forecast for the other room. After eating back to reception to be told one room was ready but the other still was not, I asked to see the manager who told me it was my fault as I wanted the two rooms on the same floor, not great customer service and at no time was I offered a room on a different floor earlier,I told her if they could not for fill my booking they should have not taken the booking in the fist place, I just got sorry as a response , this is such a pity as the hotel was good on all other levels"
