This is an interesting quirky hotel!
It might have been even more unique if we hadn't just come off a 2 week cruise on the greatest (Viking) cruise ship in the world, then we might have been more impressed with this interpretation of a "floating" hotel.
Also I was looking forward to 8 days of some Four Star rated hotel pampering.
The staff -- young, friendly, dressed smartly in their Saint James nautical wear -- definitely delivered with their Aim To Please service! Any questions or queries presented to them were quickly and diligently answered.
For the most part they have been well trained in customer service which is welcoming and unusual for France. I give them high marks for that!
The room is minimalist and very well thought out and designed. Although there could be at least one more glass shelf in the bathroom.
The bathroom and shower are showstoppers! The bed is luxuriously comfortable.
The TV service is spotty and Movies in major languages should be offered.
Wifi is also spotty which is inexcusable even though staff claims it's because it is a boat. No it's not a moving boat. It's a moored boat to a dock.
Once I got on Wifi I was kicked off regularly. It was frustrating. There is no good reason to skimp on technology.
We were awakened by a smoke detector alarm in the middle of the night. No public announcement that all was okay was initiated through their intercom system.
Overall I just didn't feel that Off Seine Hotel actually met the standards of a Four Star rated hotel. Then I found out that it was the French government who awarded them their Four Stars. Not Michelin. Oh that explains it!
Off Seine Hotel is a distinctive design and may be good for a short visits. It's location is somewhat isolated and Uber doesn't drive to the dock. The pool is really an aesthetically pleasing touch.
My real chagrin was finalizing the bill when I saw that Airbnb charged me about $400 more than Off Seine would have charged me. But that's an Airbnb issue.
I thought Airbnb would negotiate a better rate if not a "deal" for its customers. Maybe they do and the difference goes into their coffers.
Nothing to do about it now. It is a done deal and it was already paid however I don't think it's right.
I didn't find the noise a problem. I was simply amazed that so many people stayed up all night until 7 or 8 in morning. Wow! Incredible!
If you are up for an adventurous sojourn I wouldn't discourage you from booking this hotel. It's an experience! It's a bit pricey. Try going directly to them and compare quotes.
