Guest Reviews
- michel (10/5): -
- Rahayou (9/5): Great place to relax. - Breakfast was amazing. The view is super. Nothing much to complain.
- Silvia (10/5): - Perfekte Unterkunft für einen Städte Tripp, und man ist auch schnell in der Umgebung von Amsterdam.
Die Tram ist zu Fuß in 15 Minuten erreichbar und fährt direkt ins Zentrum.
Der Gastgeber ist besonders nett und hilfsbereit.
Die Zimmer sind sehr bequem direkt am Kanal und das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet.
Wir kommen gerne wieder!
- Inna (10/5): Thank you, Johann, for the honest treatment of your guests! I will stay there again if I am ever in Amsterdam! - My stay was excellent! I came from a conference, which was held in Maastricht and arrived around 5 pm. I was so impressed of the room and view on the channel so I decided to stay there and enjoy the view an entire evening. It was so spectacular to watch the ducks and to enjoy the sunset. I took the bath inside the room and it was an unique experience. I slept so deep and so long like not sing the last months. In the morning Johann (the owner) surprised me with a rich and delicious breakfast- so many tasty things, including an entire bottle of the freshly pressed orange juice and an entire bottle of milk. Several types of bread, a lot of butter, salami, Greek yoghurt, eggs and on the next day, the omelette.
The room facilities were enough and all was new. Microwave and also a refrigerator. Very nice bathroom.
I sincerely thank the host. I recoveried there in my short stay (slept enough and ate delicious breakfast). I liked everything, the stay was better than expected
- Katharina (10/5): Die Lage war für uns 👍 nur ca 25 min mit der Tram zum Zentrum ohne umzusteigen. Sehr ruhige idyllische Lage, fast verträ - Besonders zu hervorheben war die Sauberkeit und wunderschöne Lage.
Umfangreiche Frühstück, was wir nie komplett geschafft haben, alles sehr liebevoll eingerichtet💓 —
- catherine (9/5): - Très bien situé à moins de 15 minutes à pied du tramway. Il faut 45 minutes pour atteindre le centre d'Amsterdam. Stationnement gratuit à proximité. Terrasse sur l'eau très agréable. La chambre est très bien équipée avec un lit confortable. Le petit déjeuner copieux est apporté à l'heure souhaitée. Petite précision pour les personnes qui souhaitent dormir dans l'obscurité, prévoir un masque de sommeil.
- Lydia (9/5): - Dépaysement garanti, calme et sérénité. La chambre au bord de l eau est vraiment formidable. Un super séjour, les hôtes sont très agréables dt sympathiques. Leur petit déjeuner est au top , très copieux . Le cadre est idéal
- Christina (10/5): - Accueil très chaleureux. La propreté des lieux. Le petit déjeuner très copieux et délicieux. La gentillesse du propriétaire. La beauté du lieu. En bref tout était parfait. Peut être juste avoir deux assiettes et des couverts à disposition.
- Carol (10/5): The host is so helpful and accommodating. Can’t thank him enough for his hospitality ❤️ - Location
- Nata (10/5): - Location is 👌 perfect ,so clean and comfortable excellent. Place have amazing vibe and so nice interior with the stile, we really fell great welcome and relax there .All recommendations for the host and the place. Breakfast is extraordinary 😋 We indeed enjoyed every moment and can't wait to repeat. Thanks Morpheus see you soon😘
- Florian (9/5): - Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, ein erstklassiges Frühstück und eine schöne Lage am Wasser.
- yanning (9/5): -
- Kathrin (10/5): - Die Unterkunft ist mit viel Liebe und Charme gestaltet. Viel Liebe zum Detail. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Das Frühstück war sehr liebevoll hergerichtet und reichlich. Das Obst war schon mundgerecht geschnitten und es gab jeden Morgen einen kleinen frischgebackenen Kuchen. Diese Unterkunft ist sehr zuempfehlen.
- Pál (9/5): -
- Edgar (10/5): - Sehr nettes Personal und total gastfreundlich 👌
- Thieme (10/5): - Es ist eine wundervolle Unterkunft . Die Besitzer sind sehr höflich ,nett und zuvorkommend . Bei Fragen wird sofort ausgeholfen. Das Frühstück ist einfach hervorragend ,ob süß oder herzlich es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Der Weg zum Zentrum ist leicht zu erreichen im dem man sehr viele schöne Museen und andere Sehenswürdigkeiten besichtigen kann. Ich kann jedem sowohl die Unterkunft als auch die Stadt wärmstens empfehlen🙂
- Virginie (10/5): À très vite ! - Le lieu est magnifique, le jardin est superbement aménagé avec son bassin de carpes koi. La chambre était spacieuse et le balcon/ponton un plus très agréable et apaisant. L’hôte est une personne superbe, très gentil disponible et chaleureux. Séjour trop court
- Britta (10/5): Eine wunderschöne, perfekte Unterkunft! Lage und Frühstück ein Traum! Grossartiger Gastgeber! -
- Michael (9/5): -
- christopher (9/5): - TROIS ETOILES
- Cristina (10/5): -
- Ina (10/5): Einfach wunderbar - Johan ist so ein toller Gastgeber. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt. Innerhalb von 15 min ist man
zu Fuß bei der S Bahn mit der man in die Stadt fahren kann oder beim Supermarkt. Das Frühstück ist unglaublich liebevoll angerichtet. Wir kommen im Sommer wieder. Haben direkt nochmal gebucht.
- Volker (10/5): Wir kommen wieder😍😍 - So wohl haben wir uns lange nicht gefühlt, alles perfekt und für einen Städtetrip in Amsterdam ideal.
Besser geht nicht!!
- Mikko (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Meraviglioso - Colazione eccezionale, house boat magnifica con vasca idromassaggio direttamente sul canale in uno splendido quartiere di Amsterdam fuori dal caos e dal turismo di massa
Ma ciò che veramente fa la differenza è Joanh l'host che è una persona speciale che ti accoglie come se fossi a casa tua
Grazie Johan per averci fatto trascorrere una vacanza fantastica Non migliorerei e cambierei assolutamente nulla di quel fantastico posto
- Christophe (8/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): - Von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute ein wundervoller Aufenthalt! Johan ist mehr als gastfreundlich - das Hausboot erfasst einen direkt mit seinem Charme. Überall Details, man spürt förmlich die Hingabe für diese Unterkunft. Besonders hervorzuheben sind das bequeme Bett und die Kissen und das Frühstück!! Letzteres lässt keine Wünsche offen und ist ebenso detailverliebt, wie die Unterkunft. Danke Johan - wir kommen wieder!!
- Ronny (9/5): Hyggelig sted, meget hyggelig vert - En veldig hyggelig vert ønsket meg velkommen og rommet jeg fikk var ganske lik det jeg fikk inntrykk av under bookingen. Et koselig sted rett og slett, en god seng og et badekar i rommet passet meg utmerket. Jeg likte frokosten som var tilberedt av verten, Johan, og beliggenhet "på kanalen". Nesten urettferdig å nevne "lyder" her, man jo befinner seg jo tross alt i byen med trafikk på veiene og en flyplass i nærheten. Er nok bare jeg som er bortskjemt fra bygda. ;-)
- Brian (9/5): - I loved the room, the view and the breakfast was exceptional. It was my favorite place we stayed on our two week trip. I would definitely stay here again.
- Melanie (10/5): -
- Roland (10/5): Gerne wieder - Die Lage am Wasser mit einer Windmühle um die Ecke. Keine 50 m ist eine Bushaltestelle.
Sehr netter zuvorkommender Gastgeber
- Krzysztof (10/5): Doskonały relaks i odpoczynek w fantastycznym miejscu i otoczeniu. - Johan jest niesamowitym gospodarzem. Dba o gości doskonale i jednocześnie bardzo dyskretnie.
Jego śniadania są już legendarne - różnorodne, obfite i przygotowane z troską o potrzeby gości.
Pokój wygodny i komfortowy, świetna lokalizacja i przyjemny widok z tarasu nad kanałem - można tam siedzieć godzinami, spoglądać na życie toczące się dookoła i łapać spokój i relaks.
- Iván (8/5): Una experiencia diferente en Ámsterdam - Cama muy cómoda, buena WiFi y la experiencia de quedarte en una casa barco. Despertar y ver el río y la tranquilidad del barrio.
Desayuno abundante y con opciones saladas y dulces. Tener cafetera, hervidor de agua y nevera en la habitación es un plus. Algo difícil de encontrar cuando llegas. Bastante alejada del centro, aunque conectada por tranvia caminando 15 minutos y con parada de bus con el aeropuerto al lado.
- Edith (10/5): Super besondere Unterkunft!!!👍🏻 - Alles super. Besonders der Lieblingsplatz direkt am Kanal.
Johan ist super nett. Alles super sauber und super Frühstück!!!
Was will man mehr.😃👍🏻
- Morgan (10/5): One of a kind stay! - This property is absolutely breath taking, from the canal side balcony to the surrounding neighbourhood. We spent our mornings relaxing on our balcony surrounded by ducks and passing boats.
Johan and Tiba are amazing hosts and provided us with top tier service! Breakfast was delivered to our room every morning, including pastries, spreads, fruits, meats and eggs. Fresh towels and bedding were provided when needed and Johan was around 24/7 for all of our needs.
The location of this property is great. With transport to Amsterdam centre being around 30 minutes, this includes the 195 bus and the 17 or 2 tram. Both bus and tram were always on time, quiet and easy to navigate. I have been to Amsterdam many times and this location has to be my favourite, nice and quiet away from the crowds and noise of the centre!
Would 100% stay again! Thank you Johan and Tiba. Nothing!
- Razavi (10/5): Its was excellent. Thank you - I really enjoy my stay with Morpheus. It's location, the breakfast and the staff, every thing was excellent. I recommend this location to all my friends and Family Every think was as we requested so I would say keep up the good work.
- Cynthia (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf! - Prachtige plek! En de eigenaar is iemand waar je je meteen thuis voelt
De vrijheid van thuis. Lekker en prima ontbijt. Kwartiertje lopen tot tramhalte en je ben van daar met een half uurtje op centraal station.
Je zit lekker aan/op het water, bootjes kijken en een praatje maken.
Kamer bevat alles wat je nodig hebt!
Wij komem graag nog een keer terug! Waren een paar puntjes die al besproken zijn en opgelost.
1 ding waar je weinig aan kan doen.. de vliegtuigen vanaf Schiphol..

- Evelyne (9/5): Wunderschöne aussicht sehr leckeres frühstück ruhige lage nette Gastgeber. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen. - Ein sehr sauberes Zimmer in einzigartiger Lage direkt am Wasser. Das liebevoll zubereitete, unglaublich vielfältige Frühstück im Körbchen war ein echtes Highlight. Auch die Parksituation war ideal – wir konnten unser Auto direkt gegenüber abstellen und hatten es stets im Blick. Der Eingangsbereich machte einen etwas ungepflegten Eindruck – der Teich war stark verschmutzt, darin trieben sogar tote Krebse, was uns besonders leidtat für die schönen Kois, die in dem vergilbten Wasser lebten. Auch der Zugang zum Zimmer über einen älteren Holzsteg wirkte wackelig, morsch und deutlich in die Jahre gekommen.
Die Lage ist für Ausflüge ins Zentrum von Amsterdam mit der ÖV etwas ungünstig, da hauptsächlich der Bus 195 dorthin fährt – für diesen wird allerdings ein separates Ticket benötigt. Empfehlenswert ist das „Amsterdam Travel Ticket“ (ca. 18 Euro pro Tag), mit dem man alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel nutzen kann: Sprinter, Bus (inkl. Linie 195), Tram und Metro.
Das Ticket kann z. B. über discoverholland.com gekauft werden – wichtig zu wissen: Es handelt sich nicht um eine digitale Lösung mit QR-Code. Das online gekaufte Ticket muss physisch an einer bedienten Verkaufsstelle (z. B. an einem Bahnhof) eingelöst werden. Dort erhält man eine Fahrkarte im Kartenformat, die dann für alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel genutzt werden kann.
Gerade wegen der verschiedenen Anbieter (z. B. Buslinie 195, Sprinter, Metro, Tram) wäre eine kurze, verständliche Broschüre im Zimmer sehr hilfreich gewesen – mit einem Überblick über das Verkehrsnetz in und um Amsterdam. Das hätte den Einstieg deutlich erleichtert und einiges an Verwirrung erspart
- Valentina (10/5): An oasis of tranquility close to the heart of Amsterdam - The houseboat and surroundings are the definition of peaceful, slow living, but with all the modern amenities. If there was a god of breakfasts, this would be Johann, an incredibly kind host, who will make you feel special and welcomed, together with his friendly dog. His picnic baskets are out of this world delicious. Beauty is in the details and you'll see that for yourself at Morpheus. The canal is lively with birds and boats, plus the most amazing sunsets. Getting to Amsterdam for sightseeing is easy via bus and metro. Would love to come back again some day. Thank you, Johann for the hospitality and stories.
- Sandra (10/5): Best place to be in Amsterdam! - It’s an awesome and relaxed place!
Just everything you need. Johan is a lovely guy and makes your stay to a great experience. There is nothing to complain.
- Philip (10/5): Peaceful canal-side location with comfortable beds and a great breakfast - The apartment has a private terrace directly on the canal, which is a perfect place to enjoy breakfast. The host lives in his own apartment next door and brings a fantastic breakfast every morning - a true breakfast buffet in a basket! He's very welcoming and always willing to provide clean glasses, plates etc. if you want to eat other meals (there's a fridge and a microwave, but no kitchen equipment at all, so it's only suitable for ready-made supermarket food). The bed was extremely comfortable (nice and soft) and the location is quiet, so we always slept well. It takes about an hour to get into Amsterdam city center. However, the journey is easy: a very peaceful 20-minute walk to the tram stop, and the trams are frequent.
- Fergus (10/5): Perfection. - Amazing. The host is everything you want, the breakfast was amazing, the facilities were perfect, the view was stunning. We will be back.
- Diane (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and neighborhood!
- David (10/5): Awesome - The accommodation was perfect, Mr Johan was very helpful and accommodating. Excellent breakfast.
Everything was done in a relaxed atmosphere and the accommodation exceeded our expectations many times over.
Travel from the centre by simple tram no 2 approx 13 minutes walk from the accommodation through beautiful surroundings.
I highly recommend
- Hua (9/5): Quaint boat house on the canal of Amsterdam - We like the breakfast, the location, and the decor of the boat house, and Johan the owner and his dog Tiba are exceptional!
- Anca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giuseppe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brittany (10/5): Authentic and inspiring - The breakfast was fantastic and plenty! Being in the canal was a delight! Johan was a delight and Tiba! Good energy all around for me! The old tub didn’t disappoint!
- Janet (10/5): Top of our list of stays - So relaxing. Johaan is a great host and very helpful with any questions. Delightful to visit with. Breakfast is beyond compare. Fresh, healthy and hearty. Definitely a great place to stay
- Rinad (10/5): Picturesque room with a wonderful view! - The interior was beautifully and artfully decorated, it was a joy coming in to the room and waking up to it. You're right over the water and the birds, water, and trees are super relaxing. The included breakfast was so filling and varied, and the host was amazing! 10/10 recommend staying there. It was about a 15-minute walk from a tram stop to the house. It wasn't too far away but at night, it felt endless when all we wanted to do was sleep 😅 it is relatively well-connected though, with the tram stop.
- Sachin (10/5): We couldn't reach the hotel because our flight was canceled on that date. - The staff member who received our call was amazing; he was helpful and kind. I called him to inform him that our flight was canceled and we couldn't come to the hotel.
- Hazel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olivia (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly host and wonderful breakfast basket provided each morning. Lovely view on the water
- Eleftheria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ingrid (10/5): A great stay in a wonderful Bed and Breakfast :-) - Everything was perfect. A beautiful place, the best host, very comfortable beds, a wonderful view and you can get to Amsterdam center very quickly by bus. A great breakfast. We would love to come back. Thank you for everything, dear Johan and Tiba. Kind regards Ingrid and Julia nothing, only the weather :-)
- Martyna (9/5): Amazing stay thank you !!! - Lovely room with a view of the river , really helpful owner and delicious breakfast.
- Milos (10/5): It was like staying in a fairytale. Our host did everything to make us happy. He responded very quickly to messages, and - The property was very clean, with a beautiful view of the canal and ducks. Its location also has good connections to the city center and the airport. N/A
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Greg (10/5): We had an excellent and relaxing stay. Thankyou Johan. We will definitely stay with you again. - Johan was such an enthusiastic and helpful host. Loved the size of the room, the decor of the room and the outlook was wonderful. We felt like we were on the edge of the countryside while being very close to the city highlights. Really there was not one thing that we could say we did not like.
- Wojciech (10/5): Very surprising and refreshing breakfast :) -
- Jana (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice and calm place. Perfect brekfeast and friendly owner with dog. Location is okay, its like 15 min by walk to tram going directly to center.
- Alenka (10/5): The best breakfast in Amsterdam 🍳 - We loved everything. The location on the canal, good bed, the niceast owner Johan and his dog Tiga and the best ever breakfast. 🤩 And free parking. /
- Hanoé (10/5): Exceptional - Great typical breakfasts, beautiful house along the canal, very cute area !
A nice welcome from the tenant Johan :)
- Elias (10/5): Cozy, welcoming and a general really good vibe. - Extremely cozy house boat, and Johan is by far the nicest and friendliest host we’ve had.
- Ferenc (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet area, breakfast was very tasty :)
- Giuseppe (10/5): Your place in Amsterdam - It was the second time we were guests at Johan’s place. Johan is the best host possible and Morpheus is what you are looking for when staying in Amsterdam.
- Buddaahlux (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreas (10/5): All in all a very agreable stay. - Breakfast in pick nick suitcase was extraordinary and with a large variety every day.
Bed is of highest standard. It is a floating house with a very nice platform in front looking to the channel.
Normally price of this B&B if booked directly is fair. However booking price which I paid in advance for 3 nights was more than 30% higher! Never take bus 195 to reach this B&B. It runs all 30 min only and is expensive as it is the airport bus. Google directs you with preference to this bus. Better to take tram 2 from Centraal to Sloten and vice versa. This requires a 15 min walk through nice village of Sloten.
- Florian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zambaldi (10/5): Beautiful place, excellent breakfast, the owner is very nice and kind, I really enjoyed the place! -
- Nathalie (10/5): Exceptional - welcome, peaceful, wonderful breakfast
- Aylin (10/5): Cheers! - Very silence and natural dutch place to stay. We woke up every morning facing with the canal. I love it.
- Gregory (10/5): Great stay in Amsterdam. - Great host, location, accommodation and a wonderful breakfast. A grest base to explore Amsterdam from Nothing- it was perfect!
- Jordan (10/5): Came here for a couples weekend could not ask for anything more. 10/10 - Incredible aesthetics. Very clean. Amazing setting. Johan is a superstar N/a
- Maria (10/5): The most welcoming host and his wonderful home! - We liked everything!
Starting from the hospitality of the host, ending with the amazing atmosphere that reigns in this place.
The breakfast was just wonderful!
We had been worried about the location of the housing, but there were excellent transport links, so in half an hour we got from the city center by tram without any problems.
- Tori (9/5): Loved it. Johan is awesome. Tiba is a great addition also. The room is incredibly comfy, newly furnished and very clean. - Everything. Johan is awesome. The room itself is impeccable, newly revinated, extremely comfy bed, and right along the canal you get a full Amsterdam experience. Breakfast was delicious. And Tiba is a great addition also It’s just a bit far from the city centre. But public transport availible
- Zoriana (10/5): Amazing Boat House Experience in Amsterdam! - We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this charming boat house in Amsterdam. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene and picturesque setting. Waking up to the friendly ducks paddling by every day was such a delightful sight!
The boat house itself was simply delightful, with its terrace offering stunning canal views. We loved spending time in the cozy seating area, sipping coffee from the provided coffee machine.
The highlight of each morning was the delicious breakfast served in a charming picnic-style basket. The variety and creativity of the breakfast items made it an exciting surprise each day. The best part? Enjoying our breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the scenic canal - it was like a dream come true.
The convenience of having supermarkets nearby was a big plus, and we couldn't resist treating ourselves to some mouthwatering ice cream from the excellent ice cream shop just a stone's throw away. Additionally, the windmill museum added a touch of history and culture to our Amsterdam experience.
The overall ambiance of the boat house, the warm hospitality, and the wonderful amenities made this stay truly memorable. We are grateful for such a unique and unforgettable vacation. A huge thank you to the host for providing us with an exceptional experience.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a magical and one-of-a-kind stay in Amsterdam!
- Vasiliki (10/5): A unique place on the canal, with great bed, breakfast and a great host. And a great dog. - Breakfast was great.
- Jefferson (10/5): The best price benefit option and the best host in town! - The owner and host of the place Johan is amazing! Such a great person and so much love he has put around the garden and the entire facility that it shows, and throughout the stay he has been the most supportive person ever! 10/10 easily If I have to complain about something is the distance and transports close by to go to central Amsterdam, but if you’ve been in the city before and don’t want to stay in the middle of all the craziness, this is the best place, hands down!
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - The owner is super nice, the view and breakfast is amazing.
- Oprea (10/5): Everything was 10+, will definetly stay here when we will come back to Amsterdam. - Everything, Johan was an Amazing host with capital A. The room was very clean, the view it’s amazing, waking up and see the canal its heavenly. The breakfast was extraordinary, everything was so fresh (Johan u are a very good 👨🍳 chef) and the cherry on the cake Johan provide us free bikes. oh and you also got security, Tiba it’s always in duty. None
- Christine (10/5): Dream stay at a houseboat on my first visit to the Netherlands! - Morpheus was lovely. The owner was considerate, kind, and helpful. He and his friendly dog put me at ease as a solo traveller. The amenities were clean, comfortable, and pleasant. The breakfast was so generous that I would save the rest to eat later. The location was idyllic on a river and accessible by public transport. (From Schiphol Airport to Morpheus, bus #195 from platforms 5-7. From Morpheus to downtown Amsterdam, there are options, bus #195 and then exit at Louwesweg to board tram #2. Or walk and then take metro line #51 at Heemstedestraat to Centraal. Cycling in and around downtown and going on the ferries was convenient, as was travelling outside Amsterdam using the rail network.) At Morpheus, I would remember dreaming every night during my stay. On the day of my departure to the airport, I happily noticed a ladybug in the room and released it outside like a ceremonial send-off. Thank you very much, Johan and Tiba, for your gracious and warm hospitality. I emphasise that this is a minor detail because I have a heightened sense of smell and am sensitive to certain sounds. I detected a waft of cigarette smoke permeating the room on the second last night and final night of my stay. Through the walls of the adjacent guest room, I heard an alarm clock beeping, the noise of the shower running, and the sound of a hair dryer, all occurring during reasonable waking hours.
- Joshua (10/5): Great Place Highly Recommend - Great place. Right by the airport but not really noisy at all. Tons of character, perfectly modern And comfortable. Really nice location. The city is very accessible by public transport and even the walk to the city center is slightly long but extremely pleasant and just flew by for us. Johan is an excellent host, very hospitable, and an interesting guy to talk to. Breakfast was great, you can sit out on your balcony right on the canal. Really great place, would highly recommend.
- Summer (10/5): Exceptional - This bed and breakfast is literally really good value for money !
- Accommodation was cheap compared to hotels / airbnbs
- You get the best view in a quiet little city
- Breakfast was to die for
- The best of all ? The host was the NICEST and MOST ACCOMMODATION person you'll ever meet. You'll need to go by a bus + metro I think to get to the central. But worth it if you want to stay in a calmer area !
- Maria (9/5): Relaxing and comfortable - The room was beautifully decorated, well equiped, clean, and quiet, the building being on water in the outskirts of Amsterdam.
The breakfast was wonderful, far beyond my expectations.
I loved my stay here. I had to walk from tram 2 for about 15 minutes, but I got used to it because I enjoyed the beautiful nature in the area.
- Martin (10/5): Morpheus in Amsterdam is really one of a kind and a must-try especially for a quick weekend getaway. - Amazing host Johan was always ready to assist with our every request. The accommodation facilities were maintained very well, everything was clean and prepared for us to the last detail. Morning view of birds swimming in the gracht and, to top it all, you have the wonderful picnic basket breakfast served with homely kindness that will melt your heart. The only thing that comes to mind is absence of handheld shower-head in the bathroom. I guess this is probably a question of preference, but I do not like shower boxes that have only the over-head water dispension.
- Lisa-marie (10/5): Perfect Boat and Breakfast Experience - This is the perfect, little Bed and Breakfast - only better because it’s on a house-boat. Johan is a fabulous, genuine host - assisted by his lovely dog Tiba! The breakfast - served in a Picknick-basket every morning is awesome! The bed is so comfortable and the room has everything you could need (fridge, microwave, kettle, cutlery etc) and it has direct water-access. Even during a rainy snow storm it was cozy and comfortable.
The public transport (line 2) is a 14 mins walk away. There is nothing to dislike. The showerdoor let’s out a little bit of water - maybe that, but not even.
- Myroslava (10/5): Great place to stay! I'll be trying to book it again when visiting Amsterdam. - I'll be unoriginal and mention the very rich breakfast. Very friendly and helpful host (hi Johan!). Peaceful on-water setting. Great bed. Coffee maker with coffee pods and tea available. No-stress parking just outside the property (important, given what you have to deal with sometimes with accommodations that advertise "free parking"). End station of tram #2 a ten-minute walk away. This is nitpicking, but I always mention things that could be improved (e. g. if at some point the property will be renovated) and other things that may help other travelers to know what to expect. The wardrobe could use a couple of shelves. This place is really a holiday place, and I don't know that people would often travel for leisure in this day and age with clothes that require hanging up. There is only a fixed shower head — I like having a removable/handheld shower head. If anyone wants to make use of the washing machine (which is mentioned in available facilities), be aware that the washing machine is in the host's living area and hanging things up to dry is also possible only there, as the guest room doesn't really have space for a drying rack (additionally, if it's rainy season, which it almost always is in the Netherlands, your stuff will take a while to dry — unless you use the host's dryer, which is available, but not all clothes can be tumble-dried — and also remember you are ON WATER). But like I said, this is nitpicking. The place is overall great.
- Monika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Akin (10/5): A great accommodation experience, and better than staing in a hotel. - The host is excellent - very friendly, jovial, warm and welcoming and professional. The accommodation is exceptional - exciting, well-maintained and comfortable. The garden is out of this world, with a labour of love for the environment. The food is great. Wifi strong. And the atmosphere is superb. Will definitely recommend this place and when next we visit the Netherlands, would prefer to stay here again and again. My wife and I have absolutely no regrets staying for 3 nights at Morpheus. Absolutely nothing.
