Thomas United States of America

This was my first time staying on a hotel boat. I can't believe what a great experience it was. The boat was located right in the middle of EVERYTHING! We could take a short walk about be in the middle of all the excitement, or we could sit in the living room, looking out at the city, and stay cozy in the boat living room. I can't imagine staying in a regular hotel again when a place like this is available.

Casey United States of America

Very nice hostess. The breakfast is good. Location is superb. The deck is very cozy place where you can stay any time, have free coffee with cookies.

Dmitry Russia

Great place to stay in Amesterdam, good location, friendly staff, great breakfast with delightful surprises. Quiet and comfortable. Feels like home.

Uniqueness of staying on a boat. Friendly staff and interesting location, convenient to many central attractions.

An Inside Look at Hotelboat Iris

The Iris is not a hotel all year around, in the summer we sail out of Amsterdam and organise bike trips for travel agencies. We offer trips in Holland in the spring but mostly we are located on the Moselle in Germany and France.
