United States of AmericaVery good location, very close to the center and since its in the dock, also very quite and peaceful. Change is good and Amsterdam is full of water grooves make a difference this time for yourself.
PolandIt was an amazing experience staying on the water for a night. The location was super and the breakfast in the morning was exceptional having a lot of variety. The manager is also very nice and was very kind. The view from the deck of the boat is cool and you can have some really nice views..
DenmarkIt's a boat. Quiet - away from the inner city noise. A really good breakfast spread. Great views. Close to Amsterdam Centraal and, especially, the library. To repeat myself - it's a boat.
United States of AmericaEverything was like in the description. It's basic, but good value for location and price.
HungaryThe location was amazing. The staff were pretty chill and professional at the same time. Staying in a boat was a nice experience.
TurkeyRooms are not very spacious, have a lot of storage space, but they are quite nice and comfortable. An incredible top-deck sitting space viewing the dock. A decent breakfast, and very friendly staff!
GermanyHelpful and friendly staff. It was located right next to Nemo museum, which I would have missed had I not stayed here. The view from Nemo terrace is great. 10 minutes walk from Centraal station and the tourist districts, so, location is very convenient.
Czech RepublicThe lounge is comfortable, wifi only works there, hot water works
