Perfect for a place to lay your head and explore the city. We stayed for a few nights here, the owner was pleasant and the breakfast was decent. Was somewhere a little different to stay than a bog standard hotel. The toilets were interesting, it was a shower and toilet rolled into one. There were also very graphic pictures of... More

This was awesome!I stayed for NYE,by far cheapest option on hostelworld.Great atmosphere, yeah i wouldnt probably recommend it to my 70-year old grandparents as rooms have 2x2 metres, showers 1x1 but come on, you're on a boat!Breakfast was very rich, I liked that.The guy who takes care of the botel is cool,fun, opened a few bottles of champagne at NYE...

First when we booked this hostel..we were really worried about staying aboard a big boat winter time.Location cann't be better as it's just 10 min walking from the central station. our cabin wasn't very big but enough for two persons. i knew that they got bigger cabins for families. Monica the manager was really helpful and gave us nice map... More

Excelent service! Fairest price I've seen for a great experience in Amsterdan. The botel is in Oosterdock, central place, walking distance from Central Station, canal cruise, pubs, restaurants and red light district. The room is very small (as I expected), but confortable with shower and wardrobes. Breakfast is very good with a delicious view.

Very cool!! The location was fairly central, so great for us, and the breakfast was amazing - I didn't need to eat again until the evening! We had an ensuite double room which was very small (although its a cabin on a boat, so to be expected) but it would have been a tight squeeze with three people in. It... More

This is a lovely quirky little place to stay, especially for just a couple of nights. The guy who runs the boat is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are definitely on the small side but very clean and cosy, and breakfast was yummy, there was loads of variety and it is definitely unusual to see so many meats and...

We thought the idea of a boat hostel sounded charming, and the price was great...but the reality was not so charming. What we liked: our host was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good, and the dining area was nice. Quiet, since its at the docks and away from heavy street noise. Our host was very quick to fix a... More

Well, I knew that the price was low so I didn't expect very much about this boat hostel. Good things : the lady was very easy going and let us in without reservation. The breakfast was good as well. Location is perfect. The heaters were working properly and the rooms weren't cold at all. Bad things : the rooms were... More
