    Great location, only 10 minutes to walk from Central Station. Very clean and friendly stuff. Marie-Ann gave us very helpful maps, books and guides about amsterdam.

    Very unique experience. A bit far to walk to where the action is, especially when it's raining!!! Very quiet and private tho- which was greatly missed days later staying at Hotel Ben.

    Wonderful experience! You were very nice and hospitable and can't imagine a more enjoyable place to stay while in Amsterdam. Also, with all due respect, your daughter is a good-hearted (and beautiful) young woman and I was happy to have met her as well. Thanks again, Doug Belton

    Very clean and cozy place, only 5 minutes by bike from the very center of Amsterdam. The owners - Marie Ann and her family, who live on neighboring boat, are very nice and helpful. Highly recommended!

    Marie-Ann was very kind and helpful. She lived on the boat next to us (without disturbing our privacy) and was always there to answer our questions. It is a very recommended place, so if we ever visit Amsterdam again, we will stay at Marie-Anns Houseboat!

    The only downer was the long walk to Central Station in order to get to the trams. Other than that everything was excellent. The PERFECT place for smokers, seeing as Marie-Ann allows you to smoke inside the boat. The social character is also great. We mingled and smoked with our boat-mates, and... more

    The Houseboat was amazing!! It really is a superb choice and is everything as advertised but better. Great to experience something different on a trip away. The short walk is a tad secluded in parts but the character, comfort and novelty of it is too good to miss!! Thanks for a great stay. Jill...

    A small apartment on a boat - pretty cool. V clean, good furniture, internet, sitting area, nice kitchen. Good shower. Only negative was the lack of windows - you can't see the water. No hassle from owners who didn't mind smoking and even recommended a coffeeshop. We'll visit again.

    Great location, slightly off the beaten path and isolated, but definitely worth the short 10 minute walk into the city center. The boat was perfectly warm during the freezing outside temperatures, and Marie-Anne couldn't have been more accommodating.

Description of Marie-Anns Houseboat/Deo Volente

Marie-Anns-Houseboat is only a ten minutes walk from Centraal Station. Yet, as it is tied up alongside a dead end road, it is an oasis of rest compared with the inner-city. You can relax quietly rocking on the water after a hectic day in our beautiful town. We offer two double rooms, each with two single beds that can be put together. There is a shared toilet and shower, a kitchen with microwave, gas cooker and we offer free coffee or tea. It's like renting your own apartement in Amsterdam. Every room has TV, radio/CD player and safe-deposit. Sitting on the roof of the Marie-Anns Hosueboat/Deo Volente you have a beautiful view over the old city. CHECK OUT: BEFORE 10.30 CHECK IN: BETWEEN 11.00 AND 14.00 If you wish to check in at a different time we need to know at least one day before your arrival. There is no curfew and smoking is allowed.
