    There was nothing that the property could've done better, than it was

    Breakfast was quite tasty, kept us full till quite late; The location was OK - wasn't too close to the city centre, but it was fine; The room, even though it was 10m2, didn't feel cramped, and was perfect for what we needed

    Hotelboot Zwaan is a great find. It's a 10 minute walk from the center so in a perfect location. Our host Dita was friendly, welcoming & very helpful. The cabins are so comfortable and perfect for a weekend break. Being on the canal I thought it would be cold but it was nice and cosy. The continental breakfast was fresh and plentiful. I would definitely stay here again. We had an issue with one of the rooms on the 2 night but Dita was really helpful and the problem was rectified.

    Nothing in particular - this was what I expected, just one to keep in mind that it's a small space and a little out the way BUT a cute stay and friendly staff nonetheless!

    Very cute little stay for the novelty of it - lovely staff, cute room, really enjoyed it. Naturally it's not in the thick of things (except being right next to the Science museum) but the station and town aren't too much of a walk!

    Keep in mind that the boat is some 100 years old, so there are some minor issues here or there (like leaks during heavy rain), not all may be immediately addressed due to the nature of the accommodation.

    Cosy, it felt like visiting friends, lovely common room to spend time in (as the cabins are obviously small), tea/coffee, some fruit and snacks available for free 24/7, very reasonably priced additional drinks, lovely host, great breakfast. Great location near the NEMO science museum and the zoo. Heating worked well, enough storage space.

    It was central, 10 minutes walk to station. Right next to Nemo centre. Amazing accommodation as it’s a boat! Small but more than substantial. I would stay here again and again. Great breakfast too 💕💕💕

    Everything was great, There was nothing we didn't like. We would certainly go to Amsterdam again.

    Breakfast was excellent, the location was ideal for the city, we found good places to eat and the food was good. The locals were all helpful and polite. we recommend Amsterdam for everyone. the cost of the food etc was what we expected and comparable to what we pay at home.

    This is obvious for a boat hotel and can't be controlled, but the humidity in the room was high.

    Breakfast was rich and diverse. The room corresponded to the photos and was equipped with everything necessary (there was no hairdryer, but I haven't asked for it, maybe the owner actually had one). The hotel is located within walking distance of the central train station. The owner was friendly and understanding. He expected us after hours, due to the train delay :D
