Bathroom was tight but then we are on a boat. Happy that all cabins came with their own shower room.
Location was excellent, about a 10 minute walk to the Central Station. Very restful stay as it is quiet on the water away from the traffic and bustle of crowds. Room was nice and warm with no sound from the other cabins. Our host was great, very welcoming and spoke many languages. I really enjoyed the breakfasts and all hours tea and coffee service.

It was a little bit harder to find the ship and to figure out how to get there, you have to walk through Allure ship.

“I would recommend it for the unique experience and for the quietness of the setting.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
The mattresses were not very comfortable (either too hard or too soft), the top bunk bed very narrow for my average teenager, and the bathroom very cramped.
The overall experience of sleeping on a boat down town a busy city. The cabin was as expected on a ship (small but manageable and clean), the staff was super friendly, professional and helpful and we enjoyed a quiet night after walking all over Amsterdam, away from the noises and crowds of the streets nearby.

The walls are too thin so there is no noise protection at all. There was a really loud sound before 7am of a suction hose in the boat, so we woke up.
A hotel boat is an unique experience that everybody should have once in life. Staff was really helpful and you can go walking to the main destinations in Amsterdam (max 30 min away). Shower pressure is amazing!

Disappointing

The price was exorbitant for what is provided and for the location amongst a group of other barges. Our room was very small and then had the stairs casing protruding into it making it smaller still. I almost knocked myself out on the corner of it when I accidently brought my head up under it. My daughter and I are both 173 cms so I asked to be moved - no go. The stairs meant you had noise all night till after 1.30 am. I had previously stayed on a converted barge in Prague on the river which was beautiful and assumed this would be similar - big mistake. The experience want replicated. We found it not posible to continue our stay there so forfeited $200 for the second nights stay and moved else where. I had booked the room months ago - Room 1 should only be used as a last minute booking. That said none of the rooms are very big.
It was clean - that's it. Breakfast was fresh.
