Vita Nova Reviews

Owner is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are a little on the smallish side but that's to be expected considering you're staying a boat! Would recommend to anyone. only ten mins from Centraal station too so very close to main attractions too :-)

Oso itsasontzi polita, gozari buffet ederra, kamaroteak txikiak baina ez da gehiagorik behar lo egiteko. Zerbait merkea bilatzen ari bazara hau aukera ona da, luxurik gabe, zentrutik 10 min-etara eta bertako tipoa oso jatorra da. Wifia dago eta portatil bat dago edonork erabiltzeko, baina konexioa oso oso motela da (email bat begiratzeko 10 min behar izan nituen). Zenbait egunetan geratzen bazara bizikleta alokairua duzu debalde egun baterako. Gu oso pozik atera ginen bertatik, gomendagarria!

This place is awesome. Great breakfast buffet (bread, meat, cheese, yoghurt, cereal, juice, tea, coffee etc.) = great value for £. Right on edge of the RLD, opposite Nemo Museum, and short walk from Zeedjik (China Town) , a street with loads of great restaurants of all kinds of cuisine (we went to Azurro--amazing).= great location. Walls are really thin, but we didn't have much noise trouble! Strange shower, cold water ran hot, so make sure you get in & out of that shower quick! We'll be back!!

My boyfriend and I loved staying at Vita Nova. It was exceptionally cheap and cheerful in comparison with other accommodation available in central Amsterdam and it was an added bonus to stay aboard a boat! Being a boat the rooms were 'compact' but you know what you're going to get and it was fun to hop into bunk beds for a couple of nights, the linen, towels and en suite sink and shower were clean, the included breakfast was plentiful and the landlady was very helpful. Brilliant!

Thw vita nova was great! exactly what we expected and more! Would recommend to people I know and when I return, will be staying there again for sure :)

as a 15€/night hostel I found it amazing. The only thing I've to notice is that the spaces are really tiny, it's still a boat!

Great very central location, the staff is very nice. The rooms are very small and basic - but its a ship. A bit of a smell of moist basement in our room was a bit bothering. This maybe could be improved by renewing the rooms. I think with regard to the super low price for the place and the very nice included breakfast every morning, its still a good offer.

It was an excellent hostel. It's inside of a boat an altought the rooms are small, the character of the place is incredible. The staff are very friendly and help us with a lot of information. The breakfast is very complete and delicious. The historical center is located 10 minutes from this place, then is very easy to go out at nigth and coming back walking.

This place is great. Very nice location easy walk to the centre, great breakfast and very good value for money. Be prepared to 'rough it' slightly as it's a boat and the room are very cosy and the toilet/ shower was not really enough for everyone on board but it was all very good fun. The common room/breakfast room is great with nice views over the water and to the city. Would go again. Thanks

The staff was very friendly and helpfull! Breakfast was great, you could have toast, other types of bread, marmelade, peanut butter, normal butter, hagel slag (tipically Dutch), cheese, some ham, yoghurt, cornflakes etc. There was coffee, milk, orange juice, aso you see lots of to choose from. Location was also good, very near from everything. Showers weren't very good. It was a bit dirty and very less water came out of the browse, but hot water was always avaible. Good place 2 stay + cheap

A very nice place to stay in the center of Amsterdam. Maybe a bit clairaudient.

Very good hostel! It was a different experience to stay on a boat! The room was small but good, very good breakfast and the owner was really friendly!

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 midnight, gave everyone some peanuts and salads :) Location is good, easy to find. Great value, I can imagine coming back.

Very good place for stay, cheap and friendly. Recommended.

Great hostel and its manager! I enjoyed my stay there very much! I would recommend to make a shower more convenient, for example by putting some rubber footcloth on the floor.

Staying in a ship was an exciting experience. You should do that once in your lifetime. We really enjoyed our stay in Vita Nova -the staff was friendly and the breakfast was delicious-.

Very friendly, great service, excellent breakfast, clean & tidy. Would definitely stay again

great location! tiny rooms but really fun to stay in for a unique experience.

the hostel is great. the owner is really friendly, the room's clean, and location is excellent. Just a five minute walk from the train station, and the red lights district. There's a huge library in front of the pier with a great restaurant and free use of computers and internet acess. the breakfast is pretty good too.

We had a great time staying on this cosy boat on a very good spot in Amsterdam, the staff is brilliant and I would definitely go back! Thanks guys and have a very merry christmas!
