We had an excellent stay but you'd need to be laid back and flexible! Good location just out of the very centre. Nice to have the privacy and novelty of a boat once the mess got sorted out.

On a canal between the centre and the Jordaan; location-wise it doesn't get any better. Owner Chris as well as boat chaotic but we found that that added to the experience! Also, Chris can arrange a very nice boat trip through all the canals (and even the IJ estuary) which shows you Amsterdam from a unique vantage point. Highly recommended although perhaps not for picky/uppety/prude (thai oil massages 5 m from boat...) persons.

Chris is a nice guy, but he seems in moments a bit lost.

The boat is barely 10 mins walk from Central Station, a major hub for transportation and 15 mins away from the Red light District. The insides were pretty clean and very homely. It has 2 bunk beds. The whole atmosphere is very bright / colourful and will make you feel very much at home. We got a very warm welcome by the owner. He is a thorough gentleman and very hospitable. Definitely recommended !!!

A tremendous place for a group of 4 to base their time in the Dam. A very good hostel alternative.

the boat is really cool, the only problem we had was that the owner wasn't there when we went to pick our stuff and the key wasn't working, it seemed to be locked from the inside. I almost missed my flight and had to break into the boat. Other than that, do not expect too much fun because there is only one room in the boat   Read Owner Comments

Captain very nice... couldn't get ahold of him on the day of check-in, but with the help of the neighbors, we got in just fine. Great location and way different than any other lodging in Amsterdam. Was a very unique way to see the city and was great for a group of girls!
