Very good value for money in Amsterdam. Good location, 10 min walk fom the Amsterdam Central station or from city center - this is very helpful.

A bit of a walk from Amsterdam Central station (a good 15 minutes) which can be quiet tiring with luggage but once you get to the boat you will see that it is a great location for exploring the main sites of Amsterdam. Rooms are a bit small but what can you expect if you're staying on a boat? There... More

John was so awesome-- we got tripped up in weather issues and had to miss one night of our reservation but he switched it to the latter half of our trip, no problem.
