Super fun and friendly staff and an absolute delicious breakfast

Tami United States of America

Wonderful stay with a great host. The breakfast buffet was great, and Romek makes the best eggs! He was fun to interact with, and works hard to keep the boat experience clean, comfortable, and memorable. We would definitely stay here again. The location is also perfect, and very convenient to the train station. Luggage does very well in the walkway between the boat and the train, which was something that I was wondering about before booking.

Marla United States of America

We enjoyed our first HotelBoat experience onboard the HotelBoat Allure. The accommodations were clean and warm. While the stateroom facilities were small as experienced cruisers we were able to make them work. The breakfast by Romek was excellent and we would recommend this room and morning breakfast to any traveler.

Brad United States of America

The host is great, very friendly and helpful. The cabins, including the bathrooms, are small (it's a boat!), but still very comfortable and clean. Coffee, tea and cookies are available 24h. The breakfast is very good, fresh and diverse offer. It's a great option for a trip of couple of days. The location is good, close to the Central Station and the central area. I think I'll choose Alure again for my next Amsterdam trip.

Karina Belgium

The location was wonderful. Easy walking distance to anywhere an old Town and the Central train station. The host was cheerful and fun and very helpful, and the breakfast was wonderful and full of variety. The beds were memory foam and while firm they were comfortable.

Anonymous United States of America

The breakfast was brilliant! Plenty to choose from and unlimited hot drinks which was brilliant. The location was also excellent. Really central and remarkably affordable in light of that. The rooms are functional and clean, and there are tables and chairs on top which are perfect for eating breakfast Al fresco :)

  • Do you have wifi? I will make noise from 2am - 6am because I have a meeting at that time. I wonder if the next room is angry about that
    Yes there is WiFi on board. It is a mobile system, so do not expect the same speed as you have at home. We ask you not to make noise in the room. For a online meeting you can sit in the small room next to the restaurant. Thats more private.

  • Hello. Please can you let me know if you get a good view of the new year fireworks from the boat. Thank you. Kumar
    The city of Amsterdam has a new way of thinking about the fireworks. They have not decided yet what they wil do next time. So I cannot tell what wil be the place or policy next time, or what can be seen from our ship. Bur we are in the city center, so it wil never be far away.
