About Sunborn London Yacht Hotel
A hotel built inside an actual yacht is not something you find often in London, and the Sunborn London Yacht Hotel makes the most of its unusual setting on Royal Victoria Dock. The 136 rooms lean toward the spacious side and come with dock or water views, air conditioning and free WiFi, though a number of them show their age rather than feeling freshly refurbished.
On board there's a restaurant and bar serving a breakfast that guests rate highly, along with an indoor swimming pool, gym and spa for anyone wanting to unwind without leaving the ship. The property also handles meetings and weddings, backed up by porter and concierge services, laundry facilities and a garden space on deck. Free on-site parking is a useful bonus in this part of London.
Staff are consistently described as attentive and welcoming, which helps smooth over the slightly tired decor in places. Royal Victoria Dock puts guests near bars, restaurants and entertainment nearby, with the wider city easily reachable, making the Sunborn a genuinely different base for a London stay.

What guests say
A real find! Not only is it unique but the location is perfect, especially if you have an event to go to at the O2, London Stadium, Excel London, anywhere in that vicinity. We arrived with welcoming, friendly service. We were unable to check in but taken to a changing room to freshen up and leave our bags safely. We then came back very late from a concert and could still check in. Room was clean, incredibly quiet, bed was super comfy and we both had an amazing sleep. Bathroom is clean but dated. Shower could be modernised to improve the facilities. Room had good lighting, air con, plenty of space and storage. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Varied choice of foods to fill you! Loved sitting on the deck with a coffee and enjoying the view of canary wharf area. Highly recommend. Wish we had more time here.

I took my mum here for afternoon tea as a birthday treat and it definitely was! The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, I had trouble finishing it but I had a good go! The cocktails were so lovely, I definitely recommend the Sunborn special. The yacht itself was luxurious and had a be very calm atmosphere, we felt very relaxed there. I would definitely recommend this as a gift for someone, couples getaway or general experience.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Sunborn London. Such a unique experience staying on a luxury yacht right in the heart of Canary Wharf. The room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable with great views over the water. The staff were friendly and professional, and the whole place felt calm and relaxing despite being close to busy London. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and the bar area was perfect for an evening drink. Great location for transport links and nearby restaurants. If you want something different from a standard hotel with a touch of luxury, this is a fantastic choice. Would definitely stay again.
