It was nice that it was very easy to get to, just take a free ferry from central station and you're right there. And the beds were comfortable. I liked that there were lockers in the rooms and bathrooms in the rooms. It seemed very clean and updated.

Kira United Kingdom

Great location - right next to the ferry pier. Fair value for the money.

Polina Germany

The staff was very welcoming, every day we got out room services, overall good value for money.

Kalina Bulgaria

Tiny but cozy and nicely decorated rooms with everything you need.

Natalia Poland

The room itself, it was beautiful, clean and comfy! And being on a boat in general!

Vo Belgium

It's a boat similar to a small cruise liner, so yes rooms and bathrooms can be on the smaller side. But let's be real you are coming to Amsterdam are you really going to be just laying around in your room all day? I think not. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, it was located on the pier in a cute hipster vibe area right next to the ferry(that's FREE btw) that took you straight to Amstradam Central Station. From there you have everything at your fingertips. Quiet location but right there for everything you need. 100000/10 recommend and will most definitely stay there again.

Amanda Germany

The view. The surroundings. The motion of the ocean.

Matthew United States of America

Its perfect located, next to the ferry. Comfy beds and lovely view.

Lissa Netherlands

Not very crowded with people and a very good location. Prizes are reasonable and it's 15 minutes ride with ferry from Central Station. The ferry goes to NDSM and then it's just 5 minutes walk to the botel. And the ferry is free of costs 😊

Doreen Netherlands

Funny location, although NDSM wharf is absolutely nothing, you have to reach it by (free) boat. Staff is absolutely great!
