Difficult to find entrance no sign on street
Great food very comfortable and romantic. We had a problem getting on our luggage as the taxi man very unhelpful and was not able to take us down to the boat so had to drag cases through bushes down steps which was very uncomfortable.

Housekeeping was poor specially replacement/refilling of toiletries and tea/coffee pouches. Wifi was bit of a problem but the manager solved it personally for me. It reoccurred later.

Bästa hotellupplevelsen i Frankfurt
Fantastisk upplevelse på denna mysiga båt, med förstklassig service, allt man önskar till frukost, fräsch och fint. Jag är mycket nöjd och överraskad och kommer definitivt återvända när jag är i Frankfurt. Tyst och fint läge med promenadavstånd till både mässa (ca 30 min) och centrum (ca 10 min).

Overall enjoyed our 3 night stay on the Charles Dickens, the experience was marred by the location of the boat, it should have been moored within walking distance of Christmas Market but unfortunately was moved to a good distance outside the Christmas Market area, located in an industrial dock area. Paid for a river view, got a view of a cement works. We were advised that VIP cars would be laid on to transport us into town, that turned out to be 2 mini buses with limited availability

Para nosso espanto quando chegamos à morada indicada o barco não estava lá... tinha sido mudado para outra localização bem longe do centro. Manifestando o nosso descontentamento, falamos com o representante da empresa que no momento estava a alugar o barco, uma pessoa muito pouco gentil e diplomática, ao contrario dos restantes empregados que tudo fizeram para minimizar o nosso descontentamento. Esquecendo este incidente, as instalações do hotel são fantásticas em todos os níveis. E mais uma vez gostaria de realçar a amabilidade e profissionalismo de toda a tripulação do barco que tudo fez para nos proporcionar uma óptima estadia.

トラブルを楽しめる方限定ホテル。
このホテルはボートです。フランクフルト駅から歩いて15分のところに停泊していましたが、現在は車で15分程のところに停泊しています。到着時迎えの車を依頼しましたがフランクフルト駅前のマクドナルド前で一時間半程待たされました。4回電話しましたが、すぐ向かう、5分以内で行くとかなり適当な対応をされました。部屋は綺麗ですが、一日目は送迎のクレームをつけたせいかリバービュー、二日目は岸壁側でした。窓からは何も見えず光もさしこみません。こちらもクレームしましたが、船で停泊しているのだからしょうがないだろうと言われました。部屋を予約される方は確どちらサイドか確認して予約されることをお勧めします。因みに料金は一緒です。 さらに問題は続きます。2日間Wifiが使用できませんでした。(iPhone) あとはケトルが電源ボタンを押し続けないと沸騰しないとか、シャワーブースのドアのシールが悪いのか水浸しになるは清掃した後のベッドの上には長い髪が落ちていたりなどかわいいものです。5スターホテルとのことでしたががっかりしました。12日間オランダ、ドイツ、ベリギーを旅行したホテルの中では最悪でした。コスパ悪しです。ご注意ください。

Frankfurt winter break
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Quiet. Easy access to Frankfurt by taxi or local underground (the boat had been moved for our visit from its normal mooring and therefore was slightly out of town). Very good value for money overall

Great service and hospitality great breakfast
The hotel facilities were good, the staff were most helpful, the breakfast was very good, and the staff were very helpful serving items to order such as omelets, along with coffee and tea, all were to a good standard and good portions. We were advised of a change of mooring position from the usual place due to the fire service checking the river bed for unexploded bombs from WW2, a very necessary activity even after 74 years! Whilst the harbor area is not the most idyllic, it certainly was not that bad and an easy walk along the river bank to by the ECB and many bars/restaurants. The ship was kept to a good standard and all the staff were well most helpful and accommodating and polite. We would return again

Lovely hotel and cruiseship
Staying at MS Charles Dickens made our whole staying in Frankfurt a time to remember. The staff is exellent and always in a good mood. Especially we want to mention the waiters at breakfast and the ones in the bar. Thanks to all of you for everything. We appreciate it.

Toppen, frånsett det tillfälliga läget
Tyvärr var båten flyttad till en docka för reparation. Inget vi märkte av men omgivningen var trist. I och för sig fri transport till centrum, men det drar ändå ner betyget. För övrigt toppen om än ett litet rum.

Lovely ship in a poor location. Shame..!
Booked this due to dock location but was later advised this had moved due to dredging work on the river. This was totally untrue and established that they have NEVER docked at the Main Nizza. Apparently they're not permitted to dock there due to local competition. It would have been ideal. The ship was docked in Osthafen which is literally an industrial area and our outlook was over a skip recycling centre and a cement works. It was awful. Almost 2 miles from original dock area. The ship itself is lovely and plush. Our room had a small balcony but beware there are some without and the rooms are smaller. Well equipped with great shower. This ship normally operates as a mini cruise but had been sold off as a hotel. Very nice experience in all but for the awful location. Staff superb. Great breakfast. A beer in the bar costs €7.50. A taxi to old town would cost €20. A taxi from airport I would estimate at €55. There is a train station close by.

Unsere Anlegestelle war zu Fuß sehr weit von der Innenstadt entfernt. Umliegende Lokalitäten geschlossen. Die Angebote des Hotels konnten teuer genutzt werden bzw. mit dem Taxi in die Stadt. Der Shuttle Service des Hotels ist zeitlich sehr begrenzt.

Great Hotel/ship, however the location wasn't great due to the ship having to be moved from it's normal berth, which is in a great location! Arrangements were made to taxi us around at the hotels expense due to the temporary inconvenience.Very helpful staff. Would recommend this hotel.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL
hotel is parked in an isolated area across from a construction company that works all night. Yasin, manager emailed as compensation for the bad area, CD would provide rides to anywhere within 2 km, BUT not so. Yasin is very difficult to deal with. Taxis would not come to the location. Breakfast was ok, service was lacking, if you want coffee be prepared to wait and wait. other meals had very limited menu and food was not of high quality. Drivers did take guest to and from hotel to the central station, one drive with glasses was rude, the other tall slender drive is very nice. Bathroom shower did not drain, flood bathroom and entry both days. Problem reported day 1 and day 2, but nothing done to fix the problem. Ladies at the front desk semi helpful and both very nice. WiFi available for only certain devices.... IPhone will NOT connect to wifi and most PC laptops will not connect. Very few TV channels, all News. Movie selections contains 6 old movies. DONOT STAY HERE

Super oplevelse
Hotellet og værelset var i rigtig god stand. Man kan ikke klage over udsigten fra en båd! Desværre havde hotel-båden været nød til at flytte pga. arbejde på havnen, så der var lidt langt til byen. Hotellet havde dog kompenseret for det ved at arrangerer gratis kørsel.fra hotellet til Frankfurts hovedbanegård.
