EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT THERE!! NO BETTER WAY TO EXPIRENCE AMSTERDAM 💙💜❤️😍
United States of AmericaGreat little spot on the water. My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect. Only thing is it was a little walk to the central but we love to walk so it was no problem for us. Found great restaurants and shops cuz of it. Love the place and would very much recommend it!!
United States of AmericaGreat experience on staying on a houseboat and all amenities were present and tastefully included. The experience of having a canal as your included view was a pleasant experience. The included breakfast was brilliant, healthy and fulfilling! It was a good neighborhood to be in!
United Arab EmiratesStaying at next to Amstel boat was far better than I dreamed of. The facilities on the boat were amazing. It is comfortable with an excellent location, right next to the Metro station.
United States of AmericaOur host Andrew was most accommodating not only in allowing us to arrive a bit early but also with parking. His staff should also be thanked for helping with our luggage. Really enjoyed the healthy breakfast delivered each morning! It was also nice to meet our “boat mates” and spend time on the deck enjoying the passing boats and the local visitors (ducks egret and such). The location was also convenient to a local grocery and tram.
United States of AmericaThe boat itself was quite comfortable for our family of 4. We loved being on the water! Great location (next to a bar but noise was not a problem during our stay.) Nice bakeries and restaurants, laundromat (bring your own soap!) within easy walking distance. Metro/ public transit 5 min walk. There was a mix up with breakfast one morning and Andrew responded to our text messages promptly, apologized and kindly brought us croissants the next morning.
United States of AmericaThe welcoming, gracious host, Andrew. Although we didn’t actually stay on the boat, when we dropped in unexpectedly, his kind reaction made us wish our plans had gone on as we thought they would. The room appeared to be in impeccable condition, and the outdoor space was an added amenity.
United States of AmericaThe houseboat was in a perfect spot along the canal! It was super clean and was perfect for my weekend trip to Amsterdam! I would definitely recommend!
United States of AmericaIf you stay there, you will have the complete experience of Amsterdam. It have access directly to the canal, you can see the wildlife and also is a relaxing property.

In the bustling heart of Amsterdam, you will find an oasis of peace in the midst of all the hustle and bustle. Floating on the river Amstel you get to know the water world that made the city of Amsterdam so famous. The birds, swans, boats, fishermen, rowers and the terrace in the sun make this place unique place.
After owning and starting several businesses, the houseboat in November 2017 came on my path. The long-cherished wish to live on an ark in the middle of the city came true. The best of both worlds: sparkling and yet nature and tranquility. The contact with people from all over the world is really the joy of running the B & B. Sharing the unique feeling of waking up on a boat is very valuable.
The boat is situated in the middle of a couple of nice neighborhoods. Both the Center, the Pijp and East are within walking distance. The various restaurants, cafes, museums, squares and markets make the atmosphere in the neighborhood excellent. There is something for everyone and nobody ever gets bored. Little Amstel is close to a metro station (Weesperplein) and a tram stop (lines 1, 4, 7, 16).
