It’s super clean. The owner Rick is very nice man & helpful to. It’s situated in the heart of Amsterdam walking distance from train station and the old town.

Maged, Egypt

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, Austria

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.

Merritt, Ireland

Everything was perfect besides the staff. Could be a bit welcoming and friendly.

It was a cool place to stay, the breakfast was great and Rick, the captain, was a great host.

Roberto, Germany

two nights on a hotel boat was very special! A warm welcome when we arrived, awesome location, very close to the heart of the city, excellent breakfast and a very unique environment. Ok dont expect too much on the size of the room - you are on a ship - but it was all tidy, clean and neat. We really enjoyed our stay on board!

Docw, Germany

It's very cozy at the quiet harbour so nothing really could disturb the nights sleep, lovely breakfast and a nice view with it too at a very quaint boat. Very short walk to the center town and train station. Rick is very nice and helpful giving us tips on what to see for our short stay.

It’s a boat so the cabin is a little bit small and it’s moving all the time so if you are not used to boats it maybe disturbing for me its not.
It’s super clean. The owner Rick is very nice man & helpful to. It’s situated in the heart of Amsterdam walking distance from train station and the old town.

“Terrible! Won't recommend :(”

The rooms are super small - no space to even move around. There was only one charging plug inside! The owner was rude and not always available. It was very unfortunate that I chose to stay here :( You might save some money here but what's the point if it ruins your holiday? the water around these 'hotelboats' stinks and reeks of sewage and what not :(

When we returned back to boat in the evening (8/9pm) we would have enjoyed a hot drink - if there had been a kettle/hot water facilities we could have made it ourselves. Also, we thought parking was close by; not so. Parking area nearby v expensive.
In good location; adequate breakfast to keep us going

The boat experience is amazing, but the walls are thin, you can hear everything. Therefore if you are traveling with kids or you are honeymooners, just be aware people can hear you
