Never stayed on a boat before, so the experience was great. The shower although doesn’t look the best was so warm and once the manoeuvering around was sussed was really enjoyable. The beds were the comfiest beds, absolutely nothing special to look at but I slept like a baby. The lounge/bfast area was very lovely and authentic. Rooms were ALWAYS so warm which in the colder season was a god send.

The boat is a beautiful traditional Dutch vessel with a lot of charm and character. Kudos and thanks to Raphael and the captain for their hard work and pleasant hospitality

loved the vibe of staying on a boat. Really central to Amsterdam, didn't realise it was berthed in Zandaam for two nights but that was made known on day one and the website made it clear that we would be on the move. I loved it however not very comfortable for my 80yr old Dad. He enjoyed the common spaces very much, would've liked a kettle on deck for tea but that was his only complaint outside of accessibility, again we knew it was a boat so that's on us. Overall I would highly recommend for the budget traveller and I will visit again...but on my own. It's my vibe, I expect what I pay for and to me ingot value for money.

The location, walking distance to most attractions. Also walking distance to the central.station. the staff is relaxed and helpful. Wifi was better than expected, and so was the breakfast. I am very thankful that you can still use the facilities during the day, even after checking out, gteat for late flights. The ahared bathrooms were good enough, never really got too busy nor too dirty.
