Houseboat Sophia

House-boat Sophia and Amsterdam - a perfect match !

Pros: Location was superb and the property was just what we wanted for our weekend break - clean, comfortable and a little different!

Dreamy Floating Room Stay

Pros: The view from the houseboat is ideal. I enjoyed the sound of the water and made a few duck friends in the morning who came up to the window to say hello. The mattress, duvet, and pillows were very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with basics if you want to heat or cook food. Enjoyed the candies left in a dish on the table...nice detail. Lighting is well taken care of. The size of the room is enough for one or two people only. The narrow steps to go up into the bed may be hard for someone with mobility issues so this room may not be for you. The location is perfect for walks and exploring canals. I loved the greens and flowers growing on the roof of the boathouse. The host is attentive and helpful during communications for entering your room. I stayed in the Prince room.

Cons: I will mention what someone else has said in relation to the second step to go down into the entrance door. It needs to be repair to avoid further damage. The body soap and shampoo dispenser need to be replaced with a better one as hard to manage when low. Mine were not refilled so couldn't get the small amount of liquid left out. Please provide more than one tea bag and three sugar packets...I had some tea bags with me but someone else may not. Shower on the small side so if you're a larger person may be hard to move around.

Outstanding property and host was incredibly easy to deal with.

Pros: The property was amazing, great location, lots nearby, very close to tram station for easy access to and from Centraal station. And the views from the houseboat are great.

Cons: If I had to give a negative it would the shower. Just a little small as I prefer more space. But it’s to be expected when you book somewhere like this.

Pros: Great experience staying on Houseboat Sophia. From pre-arrival communication, through to arrival and departure, Lex was a great host. Really comfortable space, perfect little kitchenette, and amazing bed.

A great stay on the water in Amsterdam!

Pros: A great stay, clean and cozy room on the water with a nice view!

Wonderful location - very special experience

Pros: Wonderful location with all the facilities I could need

We really enjoyed our stay on Houseboat Sophia. Thanks

Pros: It was very central and quiet. We loved being on the water.

Cons: A directory about the neighbourhood eg places to eat, supermarkets , where to do laundry and wifi information in the boat. All of these would have been greatly appreciated.

Beautiful location

Pros: Central location in a beautiful setting. The owner is always contactable and extremely helpful. Walkable to all main attractions, bars, and restaurants.

Cons: Very small, and the bed was on a raised platform where draws under the bed were the only storage for clothes. There was nowhere to hang clothes.

Cute experience great location.

Pros: Amazing location. Great host. Easy check in. Close to tram. Wonderful experience

Pros: Great location, super clean, helpful owner. We were surprised how comfy it was even though it's a relatively small space -- very well designed layout!
