    We did not stay here. We requested a full refund, but the owner has refused. He was not present during the check in hours posted on the website. We had to go to another hostel. In addition, there was thick ice on the dock, making the walk unsafe. The boat is in the middle of other boats in the... more

    Loved the spot, close to the train station but is definitely a cold and exposed walk. The rooms were so tiny i had to laugh and there was a bit of condensation in the monring. Great staff cold beer on board and its cool to smoke on the deck.

    Was quite hard to find at first, although the location was close to the heart of Amsterdam (about a 10 min walk). The room was tiny though, approx 2m wide.

    A great place to stay! It's a boat so you shouldn't expect much, but the place was nice and clean, and the owners were nice and helpful. They surely knew their city. ;) I would definitely recommend people to go there!

    Thankyou Tony! We really enjoyed staying with you. Awesome location, right underneath the NEMO science centre. It *is* a boat, so dont expect the rooms to be huge, but beds are still comfy. Would definately recommend this 'boatel'!!

    Good location, very good breakfast and nice staff! The cabins are really small, but if you don't bring too much luggage and sleep with 3 persons in a cabin for 4, it's no problem. I would recommend it!

    It's interesting to stay in a boat. Nice location, not far away from centraal station and many attraction points. Beds were small,sheets were not clean at all, there is no change to lock the door inside, you could hear any single noise.

    can be noisy on the weekends, but you are on a boat, all living in close quaters, so to be expected, beware the first cabin on the stabbard side its right under the on off point of the boat.
