Close to the city center, walking distance to the main highlights, different from any typical hotel , clean, breakfast is included , an experience in Amsterdam for sure.

Viviana

Very close to the main train station, 15m walk. My 5yr old child loved staying on a boat. Its a short walk into the main parts of town, or a 15m walk to the trams if you don't like walking much. Captain Rick and his wife were very friendly and accommodating.

I wish they were docked there in the summer when Amsterdam is warmer (although very snug on boat) but I think it departs for boat tours of Holland in season.
The boat was 15 minutes walk from Amsterdam Centraal station. We got a taxi as we were tired, it cost around 5 Euros. Rick our host was friendly and organised hot water for a nice cup of tea. The boat was stylish with quality furnishings and features. The cabin myself and my husband stayed in was a twin double (last minute booking and took what Hotelboot Zwaan had available) A reasonably small cabin, but myself 5ft 9inches and my husband 6ft4in managed fine. Beds were long enough for us which couldn’t be said of many hotels. Plenty of storage space. Handy en suite. Beds very comfy, little ports for windows which can be opened for ventilation and also nice adjustable radiators for warmth. A fantastic, quality and comfortable nights sleep. Back up in deck is a nice atmosphericly lit deck area where you can sit and admire the view or have a cigarette if you need. The Nemo Science centre is very close and nicely lit up at night, the whole area is illuminated by strings of lights on board the boats. It really is a lovely setting. Rick has a selection of very reasonably priced wine for your convenience if you fancy some onboard. Breakfast was surprisingly high quality especially compared to other places previously stayed in,in Amsterdam but also very reasonable for the price. Several different kinds of fresh breads, cheeses, quality salami and ham. Fruits, cereals, preserves and spreads. Fruit juices, tea and coffee-all high quality. A first class experience.

Everything was good
Boat is located in central part of Amsterdam so everything is close and convenient. There was no need for us to use public transport which was great! Boat was cosy and warm inside even outside was cold. Breakfast was simple and yummy and Ricky had always time for little chat with each guest making them feel welcome.
