Guest Reviews
- Hannah (10/5): Absolutely loved the Iris Hotelboat. Everything was perfect! - Excellent location, hosts were amazing, cabins very clean and beds comfortable. An ideal hotel to stay in to visit the city Nothing!
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Marta (10/5): Tutto benissimo. Tornerò. - Accoglienza e ospitalità fantastica.
Ottima colazione. Posizione comoda e centralissima. Struttura nuova e pulitissima. Un grande e caro saluto a Mark.
- Beate Schumacher (10/5): Ein rundum stimmiger, perfekter Kurzurlaub - Die Lage 15 Minuter zu Fuß vom Bahnhof ist perfekt. Die Nähe zur Altstadt super und trotzdem bekommt man vom Trubel und Lärm der Stadt nichts mit. Das Frühstück so lecker mit viel Auswahl. Tee und Kaffee den ganzen Tag zur Verfügung. Ana und Marc sind sehr liebevolle Gastgeber.Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und würden wieder buchen.
- Isabel (10/5): -
- Richard (10/5): A relaxing stay on a beautiful, friendly and comfortable boat in the centre of Amsterdamu - Everything! Mark and his team gave us a great welcome and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The boat is immaculate! Everything was high quality, really clean, and the space was well thought out. Lots of storage space in our room, despite being on a boat. Sitting on the boat deck, or in the comfortable lounge,, drinking a beer, looking at all the activity on the water around us, was amazing. And yet only a short walk from the station. We really appreciated the free fruit, snacks and hot drinks available any time in the lounge. My wife and I really recommend Idris! Nothing!
- Julie (10/5): - Fantastic location, welcoming hosts and amazing breakfast
- Rebecca (8/5): - We really enjoyed our stay on hotelboat iris. Mark was incredibly welcoming and the rooms were impeccably clean. Breakfast was varied and fresh. The location was great, about 15 minutes walk into the centre. The room did get quite very stuffy. There was also a lot of maintenance happening which I know can't be helped
- Annelore (10/5): Genoten van elke minuut - Prachtige Locatie , zeer vriendelijke uitbaters, lekker ontbijt, alles dik in orde
- Francesco (10/5): Incantevole soggiorno a bordo di una nave - Tutto é stato perfetto, dall’accoglienza di Mark alla favolosa colazione.
Posizione comoda per raggiungere a piedi la stazione centrale e il centro di Amsterdam.
La stanza aveva tutto il necessario.
Esperienza bellissima a bordo.
- Lois Fraser (8/5): Warm friendly and homely. - The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was exceptional, an amazing variety of food to choose from and beautifully presented. It was a casual relaxed atmosphere. The rain... totally out of their control! But we were supplied with umbrellas!
- Nina (10/5): Lämminhenkinen ja upea majoituspaikka hyvällä sijainnilla - Erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Huone oli erittäin siisti ja toimiva. Aamupala oli erinomainen. Yöllä äänet huoneen yläpuolelta (kannelta) kantautuivat huoneeseen. Hiljaisuudesta pidettiin tosin hyvin huolta.
- Claes (10/5): Weekend resa, 15min gångväg till mitten av centrum - Centralt, riktigt bra frukost, fantastisk personal, allt var riktigt bra, Finns inget att klaga på
- Severine (10/5): - L'originalité de loger dans un bateau. L'accueil et la convivialité. Le petit déjeuner copieux et varié.
L'emplacement et le calme Rien . C'était très bien.
- mopi0466 (9/5): - La struttura pulitissima. La colazione davvero ottima sia salata che dolce. La cortesia e disponibilità dei gestori. Il bagno anche se piccolo è stato più che sufficiente. L'acqua sempre calda in doccia. Niente non mi è piaciuto. È stato tutto fantastico
- Kieren (8/5): My son and I enjoyed our stay on the Iris, my son is 6 and can’t stop talking about the fact we stayed on a boat for 2 n - Loved the location, the proximity to the city centre and the NEMO Science Museum. The hotel itself was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and it felt very communal and welcoming. The beds were a little slim but it’s to be expected as it’s a boat where space is limited. We had everything we needed and the rooms were fine.
- Jill (10/5): Quirky with great hosts - A quirky place to - centrally situated with great hosts.
- Patricia (9/5): - Nice welcoming staff Bed was to hard and pillows to soft but my son had a great sleep
- Livita (10/5): -
- Vladimir (9/5): Отличное местоположения. Никакой качки, если кто то переживает. Приятный персонал. Всё супер - Завтрак отличный. По меркам не дорогих отелей - много разной еды, было горячее, так же сладкие мучные штуки. Постоянный доступ к кофе и горячему шоколаду на протяжении всего дня. Шумел кондиционер-обогреватель ночью.
- Fernando (9/5): - The staff were very friendly and welcoming, facilities were great and also the city centre was in walking distance from the hotel boat. The room was a little hot as the air con wasn't working 1100% and the bed was 2 singles used together, but they were comfortable.
- Fabrice (10/5): - Desayuno excelente, buena ubicación a 15 minutos andando del centro y de la estación central.
- Raynald (9/5): -
- Kim (10/5): Perfect place for a short city break - A great location with easy access to the centraal station and metro system. Very peaceful setting. Fabulous breakfast! Mark and Anna were very welcoming. Yes, the room is small but we used the communal lounge so it was not a problem. The cabin and communal areas were spotlessly clean. Communication was quick and helpful. I can't think of anything we didn't like
- rocha (9/5): Incroyable. Le bateau est très bien situé. J’avais peur de me sentir oppressée vu que la fenêtre de la chambre ne s’ouvr - L’accueil des hôtes, leur gentillesse et le cadre. Tout était au petit soin. Le matelas était un peu dur pour moi. Mais bon, ça c’est personnel.
- Isabelle (8/5): Expérience insolite dans un lieu tenu par un couple charmant qui met une super atmosphère et emplacement central . - L atmosphère et la localisation et le personnel Un bruit trop fort du ventilateur dans la chat
- Gina (10/5): - A unique stay on the canal in a clean, comfortable room, plus I was upgraded. The staff are absolutely wonderful and the breakfast is the best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend. I'd stay again! Thank you Mark and Anna Nothing
- matej (10/5): Water is life - If you want something special and you are into boats, than this is it! Excellent. Great couple Anna and Mark are helpful and very kind! It’s a small cabin, not for conference calls or longer stays. But if you want something special, that is it!
- Fabien (8/5): expérience originale, calme et sympathique - Les produits chauds du petit déjeuner étaient tièdes voire froids.
- Michelle (10/5): 💯 recommend, will definitely be back! - This was the best little city break we’ve ever had, the accommodation was the cherry to the cake. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and they went the extra mile on Valentine’s Day. Thank you to the hosts for being so accommodating.
- Mariana (9/5): Excelente experiencia - Los anfitriones son muy amables y te hacen sentir como en casa. El desayuno es muy completo y variado. Hay linda energía en el ambiente y me sentí cuidada todo el tiempo. Nada
- Chikhladze (8/5): Very cozy and sweet - There was only two beds side by side, no one queen size bed
- Selina (10/5): - Wir hatten ein ganz tolles Wochenende in Amsterdam auf dem Hausboothotel. Die Inhaber waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!
- KR.86 (10/5): - Tout était parfait. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. C'était une super expérience.
L'emplacement est idéal, proche du centre et de la gare.
Les chambres sont propres. C'était très calme.
Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, avec beaucoup de choix salés et sucrés et surtout des produits frais. J'avais demandé du lait végétal et on m'a servi sans problème.
Le personnel est très sympathique. Ils sont tous accueillants et bienveillants.
- Patrick (10/5): Can’t wait to return! - Everything was fantastic!
- Samantha (9/5): Awesome location, great staff - Great staff, nice lounge and dining room, bar, good breakfast, good view. Loved it
- odile (10/5): Une solution idéale pour découvrir Amsterdam - La qualité de l’accueil. Péniche assez proche de la gare, des transports et de plusieurs points d’intérêts. Chambre très confortable, très calme. Très bon petit déjeuner. Et c’est très agréable d’avoir à disposition thé/café/chocolat. Rien
- Meriem (10/5): - Séjour très agréable. Bien situé à 15 minutes de la gare centrale .
Personnel adorable. Cabine d'une propreté irréprochable. Très calme
Petit déjeuner frais et délicieux
De loin le meilleur endroit où j'ai séjourné à Amsterdam !
- Jonison (10/5): - Everything . Such nice staff
- Victoria (10/5): Meraviglioso - Pozione, cordialità e tranquillità Niente
- REYES (8/5): - Lugar original y a sólo 15 minutos de la estación central, limpio, colchones cómodos y el personal súper amable. La habitación resulta bastante pequeña y hay que tener en cuenta que dado el tipo de alojamiento, barco, se accede por una pasarela con barandilla de cuerda y se tienen que bajar escalera muy empinada para acceder a las habitaciones,. De todos modos lugar bastante agradable.
- SABRINA (8/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Şivan Balcı (10/5): -
- Mark Joshua (10/5): - Clean and charming experience on a houseboat. The staff were amazingly friendly. Small bathroom but what do you expect? It’s a houseboat.
- Ciaran (10/5): Exceptional in all aspects - Anna and Mark are exceptional people with incredible attention to detail and guests. Location and comfort
- Andreas (10/5): -
- Triantafillidis (10/5): -
- Christophe (10/5): Un séjour agréable, atypique, une belle expérience à Amsterdam, merci beaucoup ! - Le petit déjeuner, les propriétaires, le côté cocooning du bateau Tout était très bien !
- horyo (9/5): -
- Remigiusz Błaszkowiak (10/5): Super zaskoczenie!!! - Super doświadczenie z mieszkaniem na wodzie (home boat), bardzo popularnym w Amsterdamie i Holandii. Czuliśmy się niemal jak w domu "u mamy", zaopiekowani od samego wejścia aż do wyjścia - bezproblemowy early check-in z propozycją śniadania, serdeczność przez cały pobyt, oraz propozycja kanapek na drogę przy wyjeździe, były przemiłe i mocno nieoczywiste - DZIĘKUJEMY!! Bar z deklarowanym samodzielnie spożyciem - WOW - oprócz tego, co już napisałem, czuliśmy jeszcze pełne zaufanie - DZIĘKI raz jeszcze!! PS. Śniadanie kozackie!
- Dirk (9/5): -
- Wilhelm (8/5): Ruhige, entspannte , familiere Atmosphäre - Ein Besonderen Lob für Frühstück. Sehr gute Auswahl, frisch vorbereitet, gut Aufgedeckt .
Gute Hotellage, wir haben alles zu Fuß erreicht.Das Personal war Aufmerksamm, sehr freundlich, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Schlüßelanhenger etwas schöner zu gestalten
- Salvatore (10/5): I titolari persone fantastiche - Top Niente
- diana (10/5): Hotel bote espectacular - La atención al latino es excepcional, la comida estaba muy deliciosa, Ana y Marco son unas excelentes personas, nos recibieron con mucho cariño y amabilidad Todo estaba perfecto
- Sharzad (9/5): -
- Julia (10/5): - We loved the boat and the breakfast, it is a really romantic place.
- mourot (9/5): - L'accueil etait tres chaleureux et le petit déjeuner etait tres copieux le lit etait confortable et la chambre tres bien chauffée Pas grand chose
- Alejandro (10/5): Bang for your buck. - La atencion familiar se agradece. La habitacion es pequeña pero justa.
- Jo (10/5): Very friendly and welcoming. We had a fabulous time and hope to come back. - Very friendly and welcoming. Easy check in, excellent facilities, delicious breakfast and great suggestions to make the most of our visit. A unique stay for us as not used a Hotel Boat before. We loved it. Thank you Nothing, everything was brilliant.
- ANNA (10/5): Świetny pobyt! Polecam nocleg na łódce, jeśli chcesz poczuć klimat Amsterdamu :). - Przede wszystkim wspaniali gospodarze łódki: miła, pomocna i bardzo kontaktowe Małżeństwo :). Poza tym bardzo dobra lokalizacja, tylko parę minut od dworca kolejowego a wrażenia z pobytu na łódce w środku Amsterdamu. Widoki wprost na wodę i pływające po zatoce łyski bezcenny. Pokoje bardzo czyste i codziennie sprzątane, smaczne śniadanie, duży salon, który można wykorzystać jako przestrzeń wspólną. Niepotrzebnie obawiałam się chłodu, bo pomimo grudniowej aury na łódce było po prostu gorąco. Polecamy!
- Ladislao (10/5): - El lugar es especialmente encantador , excelente ubicación. Super tranquilo y silencioso , la atención de Ana y Marck excepcional .
Sin duda volveremos .
La vista increíble.
- Wernert (10/5): - Accueil chaleureux, Kévin et Anne sont au petit soin je recommande fortement, le petit-déjeuner est à tomber, merci pour tout au plaisir de revenir chez vous
- José (10/5): - El trato de Mark y Anna es espectacular. Sales de allí con dos nuevos amigos. El desayuno y la accesibilidad a cualquier necesidad es estupendo. Fuimos 4 parejas y todos estamos de acuerdo en lo bien que estuvimos. Sugerencia para el dueño del barco: Mejorar los colchones de las camas dobles (un colchón en vez de dos) sería ya el culmen del éxito por su parte.
- Martynas (9/5): -
- Olivier (10/5): Excellent choix - Accueil exceptionnel. Petit déjeuner mieux que parfait. Rien du tout!
- Elena (9/5): Esperienza coinvolgente - Atmosfera della barca davvero sorprendente.
Eccellente il servizio. Purtroppo per andare in centro si devono prendere molti mezzi.
- Steve (10/5): Great it you are board with staying in hotels. - Mark and Anna were lovely, very helpful and also cooked a great breakfast. The location was great, if you are arriving by train and walking there don't go via google, there is a quicker way if you look closely, there's a foot bridge over the canal near the boat, head for that, it cuts the time in half. Happy with everything, although if you are going for a romantic night, the beds are all single, I think and pushed together for a double. There's a bit of a gap in between, plus theres the overhead locker you might bang your head on, but hey, you are on a boat 😁
- BERNARD (10/5): - Formidable accueil personnalisé et chaleureux.
Petit déjeuner varié, de qualité avec des préparations maison.
Cabine très bien équipée, très bonne literie.
Salon et bar bien agréable pour une pause après une bonne journée de visite.
- Samantha (10/5): -
- Luis (10/5): Boa localização e Stad muito simpático e acolhedor - Localização.
Relação qualidade - preço Tudo ótimo
- Mikaël (9/5): - Excellent accueil. On se sent comme chez soi. Extrêmement cosy et personnel au top. Emplacement parfait proche gare et centre. Petit déjeuner copieux .
- Alejandro (10/5): Un lugar al que volver. - Lo que más “miedo” me daba era que, al ser un barco, se moviera y nos produjera mareos, pero lo cierto es que no se mueve absolutamente nada. Las habitaciones son muy acogedoras y están relucientes. El desayuno nos pareció exquisito y los anfitriones son la amabilidad personificada. Si volvemos a la ciudad, sin duda repetiremos. Nos ha gustado todo.
- Alessandra (9/5): The breakfast was good. Great location. Wonderful staff! - Experience !! Great staff !!!!! Unique
- Stefania (10/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): Friendly staff with a unique and comfortable stay. Couldn’t recommend enough for a solo traveler or a couple! - The staff at the property was wonderful! They were very accommodating and friendly during the entire stay. The property is a short and safe walk from Central Station which made it easy to get around. The breakfast was lovely and I wish I could have stayed longer! I enjoyed the cozy rooms but if they are too small there is plenty of space above to relax and spread out.
- Lovekesh (10/5): Amazing experience, wonderful hosts. Great idea!!! - This is a stay for someone who is looking to experience something different. Mark and Anna are wonderful hosts and you will feel thoroughly welcome here. The breakfast that they make is full of love and so is the experience. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to stay on the famous Amsterdam Canals close to all the action and enjoy Amsterdam from the water. Since this is a boat, the rooms are small
- Catherine (9/5): Un accueil exceptionel dans un hotel original et charmant. - - Originalité d'un hotel sur une péniche

- Petit déjeuner très varié et d'excellente fraicheur et qualité
- Kristina (10/5): -

- Lubcke (10/5): Es war ein traumhafter Kurzurlub mitten in Amsterdam - Das Frühstück war sehr liebevoll und lecker. Das Hotelboot liegt zentral in der Nähe des Bahnhofs und direkt am NEMO. Man ist fußläufig schnell in der Altstadt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Danke für die tollen Tipps und den Service. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen.

Enorm vriendelijke en lieve mensen die de boot uitbaten. Heel behulpzaam. Ontbijt is fantastisch, voor elk wat wils. Lekkere koffie's en een bar aan boord waar je allerlei drankjes kunt kiezen.
- mouloud (8/5): Une belle découverte - La gentillesse des hôtes
- GWENAEL (8/5): Nous conseillons vivement cette expérience très agréable. - La proximité du centre ville, le cadre paisible sur l’eau et l’ambiance atypique d’un séjour sur une péniche parfaitement équipée.
