Kyle Blue
If you’re bored with normal hotels – the type of hotel that’s inside a building, on the ground – then this hotel is for you. It offers something completely different because it’s actually on a boat. A hostel rather than a hotel, the Kyle Blue is billed as a luxury option with a shared kitchen and shared lounge.
