“I loved the experience of staying on a boat, and the boat was located in a very central location. I also loved Jeffrey, as he saved my life. I almost left without my passport and money, but he found it when cleaning the room, and then caught me before I left and gave it to me.. I would have probably been two countries away by the time I noticed, and it would have been devastating. Thank you Jeffrey!!!”

“Spent two nights. Basic, no frills, accommodation. If you've never slept on a boat before, you can't beat the price or awesome location in the City Center very close to Central Station and beside the NEMO Science museum. Excellent no noise after 10pm policy. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Arrived early in the morning around 10am, picked up keys and left bags. They were waiting in our room when I returned at 3pm. For the level of accommodation, I was impressed. Very good breakfast with a wide range of choices. Traveled with a meat eater, but I'm vegan and we were both able to have a decent meal.”

“For the price, I would say it's OK. The distance from station is relatively reasonable for about 15 minutes walk. It's good if you don't have many luggage. The self check-in check-out is very easy (Although I got a little bit confuse at first).”

“Fun experience on the boat.”

The room could have been a little cleaner (walls) and need to be repainted. It was a no frills room. This is not necessarily negative but know that it is a boat and quarters are cramped.
Vita Nova is a lovely boat and easy to find. It is about a 20-25 minute walk from the train station. The views are beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was great. We expected a small room and it was.

- There aren’t outlets in room and nothing has been said about this in description - very small washbasin in the room - there was a blood-stain on the blanket - it was said that there is a parking near the hostel, but it was not, instead of being sent to the parking in a shopping center where it was cost near 25€ instead 15€ which was mentioned on booking
There is very good breakfast in Vita nova and very good idea for hostel

It was extremely small cabin, very uncomfortable, unable to sleep & no staff to be seen anywhere, apart from breakfast time. Also no cooked breakfast... Complete false advertisement 😫
Location was great but that’s all....

“Such a cool experience staying on a boat in the core of Amsterdam!”

I have absolutely no complaints about this place!
My friend and I loved this place!! It isn't a fancy place by any means but the rooms were clean (and cozy), the staff was so friendly and the breakfast in the morning was a huge bonus! Not to mention, the location was perfect in my opinion. My friend and I were able to walk to anywhere in Amsterdam from this hotel and for people that aren't as active there is the central train station about a 20 minute walk away from the hotel.

I think it would be better to have breakfast included in the rate. The three bfast options ranged from 5-10 euros. The food was delicious though. Having air conditioning would be helpful but the fans did keep us cool enough.
Views of ocean, access to the ocean, the size of our apartment, and the quality of the bfast.

The location is around 20-30 minute walk to the central station. Not so cool if you have huge luggages
The guy at the reception was very friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast was amazing You can leave your lugagges before checking in and after checking out The beds and the rooms were nice
