Pros: The staff was extremely welcoming, and sleeping on a ship was a unique experience

Beautiful spot and friendly owners who made themselves available.

Pros: Very welcoming staff, clean property with nice showers. Great location

Cons: The rooms were a bit stuffy but as good as could be expected when sleeping in a cabin on a boat! The bunks are short but comfortable and clean.

Cosy stay over the river

Pros: The hosts were very welcoming and professional. The property was small but it felt cosy, and everything was spotless. We were lucky to be there with really good weather, so having breakfast outside overlooking the river was a must! Speaking of breakfast, we chose one of the breakfast options on the first morning and it kept us full for the whole day. The boat is very well located so we were able to walk everywhere. The heating works really well and it's easy to control if the room gets too warm. The water pressure in the shower is great and the water gets really hot which was perfect for me.

Cons: Keep in mind that if you have an issue with small spaces and mobility, this isn't for you. It's impossible for two people to move around on the room at the same time. But we managed and if you're just using the room to sleep, you should be fine.

Pros: I recently stayed at this hotel with my two friends and had a great overall experience. The location is perfect - making it easy to explore the city. The cleanliness was outstanding; both the rooms and common areas were spotless throughout our stay. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, and they really made us feel at home. One of the highlights was the boat experience—the deck was perfect for relaxing, and since the boat was at the end of the pier, we had an incredible view. The host also provided free coffee and allowed us to use the kitchenware, which was a nice bonus. In terms of value for money, it’s hard to beat. Amsterdam can be expensive, so finding a centrally located place at an acceptable price made this stay even better. All in all, this is a great place to stay for those looking for a central location, cleanliness, and friendly hosts, with the bonus of a memorable boat experience at a reasonable price.

Cons: A few minor downsides: the rooms lack proper noise insulation, so we could hear sounds from the hallways and neighboring rooms. There was also a bit of a wait for the toilets in the mornings, but that wasn’t an issue later in the day. As a side note, I am 1.75 meters tall and fit the bed comfortably, though the ceiling of the room was a bit low. It wasn’t an issue for me, but it might be something to consider if you are taller.

Cozy stay perfect for a few days!

Pros: Clean facilities, felt safe and was cozy. The showers were bigger than expected not going to lie. Nice staff that were helpful if you needed anything. The location was good, very quiet during the two nights we stayed there. 20 min to the train station, 20-30 min to central Amsterdam by foot. Would recommend renting a bike when you’re staying here. During the night the doors are locked for your safety!

Cons: No sink in the bathroom, however there was one inside the room. You live on a boat with thin walls to the neighbours!

Pros: the quiet, despite being located in the city centre

Theresa 8/10

Pros: The atmosphere of staying on a boat was cool. It was also really close to the city centre, everything was in walking distance.

Cons: It is quite small of course since there's not so much space on the boat. Prepare to get even closer with your friends after a stay on this boat ;)

A homely boat, well positioned in a great city. Highly recommend.

Pros: I booked a private dorm with 4 beds (2 bunk beds) to stay in by myself. The cabin was small...it is a boat...but it was perfect for me. The room was snug, there was a radiator to keep it warm on rainy days and a window to open for fresh air. I used the lounge to work from for a couple of hours on most days and there were power sockets, free wifi and a stocked fridge with beers and soft drinks available for purchase in an honesty box. You could order uber eats to the boat and Uber´s would pick up from end of the dock. It was about a 30min walk to everywhere you could possibly want, along the canals of Amsterdam so it felt super connected...whist also being on the outskirts of the town so nice and quiet for sleeping. Will definitely stay again. The hosts looked after me really well and I was allowed to bring some colleagues to the boat for an hour before we went out to a meal. Had a really great experience. Thank you.

Cons: The rain...but I guess that is out of the boat´s control!!

Great stay - Highly recommended!!

Pros: Moos was really nice and helpful, it's in a great location for an incredibly fair price. The room is extremely cozy, beds are comfortable and you have everything that you need.

Cons: Can't say anything comes to mind. The bathrooms + showers are small however what else can you expect in a room on a house boat and they work perfectly so it's nothing to complain about.
