Jennifer Netherlands

loved the idea of staying on a boat in Amsterdam. the boat was bigger than I thought and the rooms had everything we needed. I was worried they may be too small or smell weird or even move around too much but literally felt like I was in a hotel room.did not sense any movement at all and everything was clean. above all the hosts were the best! so sweet and accommodating! would recommend 😊

Carla United States of America

Very charming and cosy, but you do need to expect to be in a small boat cabin. The location is brilliant, right next to the Nemo museum. The breakfast was limited in choice but fine for us. The coffee was very good. It definitely is more exciting than staying in a conventional hotel.

Jasonny Netherlands

It was a beautiful experience to stay in a hotelboat, it added so much value and uniqueness to our visit to Amsterdam. The hotel is nicely decorated and organized, sparkling clean and cozy. The host is a wonderfully kind man, we couldn’t like him more! Helpful and considerate. We’d definitely go back!

Epapuk Spain

the room was really comfortable, and warm! we slept amazingly well during our stay. there is also a great selection for breakfast.

Thomas United Kingdom

Kristoff the host was excellent, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The location was prefect, and the boat was immaculately clean and tidy.

James United Kingdom

We’ve never come across such a welcoming team of staff. The owner and Kristof made it an excellent stay and they are always keen to help in any way that they can.
