Guest Reviews

• Clara (8/5): - Está situado junto al museo Nemo, por lo que puedes ir andando al centro. Es una forma diferente de alojamiento. Las camas son algo incómodas.
• Patricia (8/5): -
• Octavian (9/5): -
• Long (10/5): -
• Veronica (8/5): - La amabilidad de la mujer que nos atendió y lo atenta que fue con nosotras. Sitio limpio, aunque el espacio es reducido, está muy bien aprovechado y estuvimos cómodas. Además de la parte común que se puede utilizar. El día que nos íbamos, vísperas de fin de año, nos ofrecieron ollobollen recién hechos, súper ricos!! Quizás alguna cosa para poder tapar las ventanas por la noche.

• Alkım (10/5): A wonderful boat accommodation experience. - Its central location was the main reason we chose it but the friendly staff, the warm treats offered throughout the day and the nice breakfast made us say we were glad we did. We had no heating issues. The rooms were clean. Just keep in mind that the rooms are small when booking. Experiencing a stay on a boat in this city of canals was lovely. Thank you for everything.
• Даниил (10/5): - Отличное место, правда, пожалел, что провел там только один день и изначально выбрал гостиницу Долго обогреватель до нужной температуры доходит, при чекине было 15, только часа через три 20+ Меня не напрягло под двумя одеялами, но для двоих человек было бы не очень

• Nicole (10/5): Einfach schön war es ☺️ - Unterkunft war klein aber fein, für mich immer wichtig ES WAR SAUBER. Frühstück war auch super, am besten hat mir gefallen das, dass Ruhrei und Pfannkuchen frisch zubereitet würde.
• Maria Teresa (10/5): - Estaba todo perfecto, muy bien ubicado, cerca de todos los medios de transporte y el trato de Helena fue espectacular, el último estábamos solos alojados ya que era Noche buena y nos puso la mesa del desayuno muy bien decorada, no lo olvidare
• Christopher (10/5): - The host is a lovely lady and I loved stopping on the old ship 🚢 its not the same as staying in some posh hotel, the cabins are small but cosy and exactly what u would expect them to be. But I love the location right next to the nemo science museum close enough to the city centre but far enough away from most of the noise.. I will be staying again in the future Took a little getting used to there being no TV but free WiFi and Netflix on my phone did the job
• Richard (10/5): Fantastic had a great time thanks - Great little stay with my boys 15 min walk to the centre lovely little breakfast and the lady was lovely doing the breakfast All good we are in about booking it again next Xmas
• thonon (10/5): Très chouette découverte proche du vieux centre et au calme - Le dépaysement, le lieu atypique, le calme, les rencontres et le petit déjeuner Pour les personnes de grandes tailles c’est parfois exigu
• Ali Samet (9/5): Otantik ve sevimli bir otel tavsiye ederiz -
• Michelle (9/5): Ideal pour visiter Amsterdam - L originalité du lieux (peniche) Très bien placé on peut tout faire à pied ou en vélo Très bon petit déjeuner Très bon accueil
• Abelilah (9/5): - La gérante était très sympa et très serviable L'emplacement était génial
• Maud (9/5): Séjour fort agréable dans un lieu atypique. Expérience à renouveler. - Emplacement très pratique lorsque l’on vient en train et proximité du centre. Accueil chaleureux et attentionné. Notre hôtesse très agréable et aux petits soins. Petit déjeuner top et varié. Cadre agréable et parfait avec nos 3 pré ados. RAS Peut être à déconseille pour des personne corpulentes (cabines de bateau)
• ThomasJB (10/5): - Super gastvrij en ongedwongen sfeer, en dat in het centrum van Amsterdam. Kleine praktische hutjes en forse gemeenschapsruimte, erg smaakvol ingericht De locatie, naast Nemo en op 300 meter van het Scheepvaartmuseum, en op 10 minuten van Centraal Station, is super.
• Roach (8/5): -
• Simonetta (9/5): -
• Iris (9/5): Het schip is schoon, netjes, gezellig met kerstlampjes versierd en de gastvrouw ontzettend vriendelijk! - De gastvrijheid van de gastvrouw, tevens matroos!

• Guest (9/5): Gracias - La atención de Helena es formidable, muy amables todos. El desayuno bien, se agradece que siempre había fruta, galletas, café y té disponibles a toda hora. La experiencia de alojarte en un bore fue única.
• Ana Maria (9/5): - Una experiencia única,que repetiria.Todo muy limpio,desayuno muy bueno y la señora del barco super amable y disponible.buena ubicación, bastante cerca de todo, sobre todo estación central,que por cierto es una maravilla arquitectónica.

• Kels (8/5): Unique and lovely stay - The young girl who checked us in was lovely, very kind and helpful. The ship is beautiful, it has all you need for a lovely unique stay in Amsterdam. The asian lady who does the breakfasts was very rude when the other staff weren't about. She tutts and huffs if you ask her a question. She is polite if othwr staff are in the room. The stay would have been perfect otherwise.
• Rohin (10/5): - Great location Peaceful Comfortable and clean Kind friendly hosts
• Bruno (6/5): -
• Vignati (10/5): - La ubicación y la atención es excelente. Nos encantó el desayuno. Todo perfecto
• julie (10/5): -
• Emily (10/5): -
• Heiko (10/5): Toll toll toll - Schiff, Personal, Lage!!! - Tolle Erfahrung an Bord eines Schiffes mitten in der Innenstadt von Amsterdam zu übernachten. Das Personal war superfreundlich und hilfsbereit und wir haben uns sehr nett unterhalten. Es ist eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre an Bord und das Frühstück war perfekt.
• Arian (8/5): - Liked the novelty to spend time on a boat. It was quiet, good beds. Coming for Breakfast at 9h00, there was not much left to eat..
• Stuart (10/5): -
• Susan (9/5): Fantastic add-on adventure to our Amsterdam trip - The staff is so welcoming and helpful. Quarters are snug, but we signed up for an adventure and we got it! Will happily return at some point.
• thibaud (9/5): - La gentillesse et la cordialité de l'hôtesse.L'emplacement est idéalement situé à une dizaine de minutes de la gare centrale et suffisamment loin pour être calme, le top. Ce sont des couchettes de bateau (dee banettes?) , il ne faut pas être claustrophobe, c'est exiguë. Manque peut-être d'une bouilloire à disposition. L'eau de la douche s'évacuait mal
• MIMMOPIAZ (8/5): Amsterdam 40 anni dopo non esserci stato - Quando viaggi in compagnia e ti trovi bene nel posto che hai scelto, dove anche se non conosci la lingua vieni comunque compreso ogni cosa funziona. In particolare scegliere di alloggiare in una casa galleggiante. bisogna essere consapevoli che il confort non è quello di un albergo o appartamento. ma proprio qui sta il bello il condividere gli spazi con altri Nulla. Amsterdam è una città accogliente, ma fate attenzione alle biciclette.
• Simone (6/5): -
• Oliver (9/5): - The hosts are really nice and made a great breakfast. Excellent fun to stay on a boat in the middle of Amsterdam.
• Guest (2/5): Horrible je ne conseille à personne - A part l’emplacement rien n’est bon Salle de bain trop sale surtout les toilettes De l’eau de partout tout nos affaires étaient mouillé Une des deux réceptionnistes faisait la gueule tout le temps Petit déjeuner limité (pas du tout à volonté) Serviettes et draps non changer pendant toute la durée de notre séjour Trop de bruit surtout tôt le matin Aucun ménage n’a était fait durant tout le séjour
• Xavi (10/5): -
• Ramona (10/5): Amsterdam erleben 🎉 - Sehr nettes Personal 👍🏻☺️ Es war alles perfekt und es hat auch Spaß gemacht. Definitiv mal etwas anderes. Und die Lage war einfach Top. Nah am Bahnhof und direkt am Stadtzentrum. Alles nur 10-20 Gehminuten. Wir waren einfach begeistert. Vielen lieben Dank und jederzeit gerne wieder 🥰
• Sandrine (9/5): -
• Jackie (8/5): - Friendly staff great breakfast catered for gluten free. Location was great. Nothing
• Fabrizio (10/5): Il Signore dei Battelli - Posizione centrale, colazione eccellente, staff cordiale Un po’ più attenzione alle pulizie
• Rolland (9/5): - Accueil très chaleureux. Petit déjeuner de qualité : varié et abondant dans une salle très conviviale. Proche du cœur d'Amsterdam.
• Guest (9/5): -
• Ayham (9/5): - Close to the train station, cool, compact and nice staff Humidity, tiny room, breakfast is very limited
• Ximena (10/5): Excelente experiencia - Nos encantó el desayuno, y la ubicación, Wifi no llegaba bien al camarote.
• Bieliauskaitė (10/5): Perfect for colder season - Great location. Delicious breakfast. Friendly host and staff. Clean and cosy. Outside temperature during the day was 18C and a bit sunny. When we got back to our room the temperature inside was 28 because the ship is metal. Windows open and the room cools down during the night
• Sharkcuba (8/5): Bella esperienza - Disponibilità dello staff e del proprietario, buona colazione fatta al momento con possibilità di scegliere cosa mangiare e varietà.Situato a 10 minuti dalla stazione centrale fuori dal caos del centro e ormeggiata sul pontile difronte al Museo della Scienza. Solo la prima notte non sono riuscito a dormire per un problema con la passerella tra le 2 barche che faceva un fortissimo rumore ma al mattino segnalato allo staff e risolto.
• Christina (10/5): Perfekter Platz für einen Kurztrip nach Amsterdam. - Das Schiff liegt sehr zentral, direkt am Nemo und 10min vom Bahnhof entfernt. Wir konnten unser Gepäck unterstellen bis zum Check in und nach dem Check out. Das gesamte Personal ist sehr herzlich und freundlich. Alles ist absolut sauber und der wenige Raum sehr praktisch genutzt. Man muss halt darauf eingestellt sein, dass das Zimmer sehr klein ist, was ich bei einem Städtetrip aber nebensächlich finde, da man nur zum Schlafen da ist. Wem das Zimmer zu eng wird, kann sich in den großen Essensraum setzen. Dort gibt es den ganzen Tag kostenlos Obst, Tee und Kaffee. Auch kann man bei schönem Wetter sehr schön an Deck sitzen. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker, es gibt jeden Morgen frischen Obstsalat. Außerdem wird jeder Gast gefragt, ob er Pfannkuchen, Rührei oder Spiegelei haben möchte. Dies wird frisch zubereitet. Wir hatten Pfannkuchen, die hervorragend schmecken. Wenn wir wieder in Amsterdam sind, dann auf jeden Fall hier! Da wir mit offenem Fenster schlafen, war es nachts z.T. unruhig durch die Gäste der umliegenden Schiffe. Bei geschlossenem Fenster ist das aber vermutlich weniger zu hören.
• Elisabeth (8/5): Hôtel bucolique au centre d'Amsterdam - Chambres sur une péniche au centre d'Amsterdam. Confort obsolète, juste le minimum pour passer une bonne nuit. Le capitaine et son équipage très sympathiques et au petits soins pour ses passagers ! Allez-y sans réfléchir Un peu humide....mais nous sommes sur une péniche et à Amsterdam !!
• Nathalie (8/5): - L'emplacement. L'accueil. La propreté. Un lit avec un espace exiguë.
• Praz (9/5): - Everything was good ! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very lovely ! The breakfast were delicious. The location is really great, it's close to the train station. The shower was a little bit low on water and there was no hair dryer
• Jelena Mitic (9/5): -
• Olena (9/5): -
• Alina (9/5): - Fantastic stay, great value for the location and price, considering how expensive accomodation is in AMS. Delicious breakfast, nice and witty hosts. The room is clean and small, but it's a boat, don't expect too much space, same for the private bathroom. Was worried about motion sickness, but it wasn't the case. Loved it and recommend! They will ask for a 20Euros cash deposit for the card key that you will get back at check out. There was a bit of a smell in the bathroom, but it seems that is to be expected on boats.
• Thibaut (10/5): Nuit incroyable ! Sur un bateaux ! - Incroyable moment malgré une réservation de dernière minute a sauvé notre séjour ! Petit déjeuner super ! Lit confortable et réconfortant ! Rien c'était super

• Anna (10/5): Amsterdam on the water! - An amazing experience in Amsterdam staying on a boat. You don't want to check out ever. Captain Hans, Meiyan, and Alexandra staff fabulous. The breakfast delicious. Great location. I loved everything!
• Ann (9/5): Comfortable and convenient for exploring the city and region - We chose this hotel primarily for its location - an easy walk from the central train station, even with our luggage. It also seemed appropriate to stay on a boat in Amsterdam. Friendly and helpful owners/staff. In addition to the full breakfast, coffee/tea and fruit were always available. Cabins are small, of course, but comfortable and quiet.
• Abbie (9/5): Quirky little experience - Very good location Nothing
• Claudia (9/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): - Ambiente, semplicità
• Iana Shumytska (10/5): Супер! - Супер расположение и уютная кровать, Я очень хорошо выспалась. На завтрак по нашему запросу приготовили вкуснейшие блинчики, возможна ещё и яичница.
• Jacob K. (8/5): - Buena ubicación; friendly staff Basic accommodation

• PD Dr. Piotr Gasik (10/5): Great fun in a great botel! - Amazing place! A cozy cabin with a private bathroom on a boat – very authentic, you really get the feeling how to be part of the crew on such ships. The owners put their whole heart into the place, and you can feel the warm, family atmosphere everywhere. As mentioned in the description and other reviews, the room is indeed small, but even though I’m quite big, I felt very comfortable. I had two single beds (not possible to connect), but I still slept very well. I was a bit worried about working in the evenings (there’s just a small desk and chair), but it turned out perfect – you can sit comfortably out on the deck, with a fantastic view of the harbor and Amsterdam. Breakfast – super fresh! Yogurt with freshly cut fruit was delicious, with ham and cheese always available. On request, you can have fried eggs or pancakes – a great start to the day. In the evenings, you can enjoy a beer or a glass of wine on the deck (everything is available in the fridge). Tea, coffee, and fruit are always there too – it feels really homey. Thank you so much for your hospitality! It would have been great to go on a cruise – unfortunately, that wasn’t an option 🙂🙂🙂
• Rachel (10/5): A great opportunity to stay on the water in Amsterdam. - A great opportunity to stay on the water in Amsterdam! Wonderful breakfast with a large selection and an area to relax on deck with complementary tea coffee. The room was cosy and had everything we needed. There was nothing I didn’t like about the property/boat
• Claudia (9/5): Eines feines Hotel für einen kurzen Städtetrip. - Der Gastgeber und das Personal sind ausgesprochen nett. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und die Lage natürlich unschlagbar. Abends bietet das Deck einen herrlichen Blick über die Stadt. Man ist sehr schnell am Hauptbahnhof und kann also zentral seine Unternehmungen beginnen. Die Kajüten sind eben klein. Zu zweit und mit Gepäck wird’s etwas sportlich. Das sollte man bei einem längeren Aufenthalt beachten.
• Kaoru (9/5): We will return. - Great feel on the actual boat with a great view on the deck. Breakfast was brilliant, much better than I expected for a boat stay. Staff members, too, were truly very kind and helpful. Minimalist facilities but everything necessary was provided for, including a rental of international electric sockets! Not the hotel’s fault but a neighbor boat having a party made one night difficult to go to sleep.
• Jenny (8/5): Great stay very apt for a nautical weekend - Arriving at the Gandalf was a delight what a location super!👍the public area was so lovely great breakfast served ,with any eggs or pancakes and lots of choice of other things too all with a great view ,deck area too .Easy location to harbour area as we were there for Sail 2025.but very nice area nearby too.accesible to everything . Just one bed was in alcove bit so extremely low ceiling but if you little no problem ,and loo smell can a bit phoar but they very kindly put stuff down ,but to be fair its recycled water anyway.
