- Ronald (8/5): Great location and fabulous accommodation - Everything

- Benjamin (10/5): Great stay - Cozy place a few steps from the city center and ca.2km from the train station that has enough connections to Amsterdam or other cities. There is enough free public parking around however it is often full so you may need to park 2-3 streets away. At the hotel there is complimentary coffee which I found really nice and one day we even got a free apple pie đ. In general I would recommend staying at this place and will stay there again if I ever go to Amersfoort again. Breakfast was for me a little expensive so we ended up not taking however it is always prepared just for you if you take it so I think it's fair enough đ
- Teun (10/5): -
- Prokop (9/5): - A very cool place to stay at and friendly staff. Very close to the centre. The rooms are really tiny, but they fulfill their purpose - this is outweighed by a cozy common room with a fireplace, coffee, tea and some other refreshments.
- Marleen (7/5): -
- Nicole (9/5): -
- Richard (8/5): Prima plek, lekker geslapen en ontbeten, fijne host. - Schoon, netjes en leuk gedaan op binnenvaartschip Geluid van pomp voor afvalwater, vroeg licht door dakraam (wat overigens elektrisch open kon voor frisse lucht)
- Badeloch (10/5): Sjovt at bo pÄ en bÄd, god beliggenhed, smagfuldt indrettet, god seng og bad. Og lÊkker kaffe :) - Jeg fik en lÊkker kop kaffe pÄ huset, men havde ikke bestilt morgenmad. Mit vÊrelse lÄ tÊt pÄ det rum, hvor der serveres morgenmad. Der er ganske lyt, sÄ jeg var glad for mine Þrepropper.
- Marleen (9/5): -
- Carlien (9/5): Het voldeed aan mijn wensen. Top - Locatie top
Ontbijt heerlijk Ik denk niet dat het praktisch mogenlijk is ( misschien met een spiegel) maar het zou fijn zijn dat je vanuit je hut naar buiten kan kijken.
- Petra (9/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar - Ontbijt was goed en voldoende
Kachel brandde sâavonds toen we aankwamen
Het was er erg schoon
We mochten eerder inchecken en na het uitchecken mochten onze spullen nog een dag aan boord blijven Eigelijk niets
- Jolanda (7/5): Prettig - Locatie Grootte bed
- Lauren (10/5): -
- Koers (9/5): -
- Berend (9/5): Gastvrije ontvangst op een mooie locatie dichtbij het centrum. - Mooi omgebouwde boot met een aantal kamers en een grote gemeenschappelijke ruimte om nog iets te drinken of een spelletje te doen. In de ochtend een heerlijk ontbijt om daarna de stad te verkennen.
- Hendriks (10/5): Gezellige ligboot - Locatie, leuke plek, snel in het centrum en super host. Huiskamer heel gezellig.
- Heikoop (8/5): - Super leuke lokatie! Ontbijt heerlijk, lekkere koffie! Gezellig ruim(te) om te ontbijten, knus zithoekje bij de kachel, goede sfeer. Bed was aan de korte kant
- Eva (10/5): -
- Vos (8/5): Leuke accommodatie - Superleuke ervaring om op een boot te overnachten! Stevig bed, goede douche. Simone maakte een heerlijk ontbijt en is zeer gastvrij. Locatie is erg goed, je loopt zeer de prachtige stad in. Aanrader! De hut is inderdaad klein, zoals bekend was vooraf. Maar je kunt er prima overnachten.
- Egbert (6/5): Op zich mooie plek maar we misten de nodige informatie. - De warme kachel in de groepsruimte.
Het ontbijt was prima.
De gastvrijheid mbt het nuttigen (en natuurlijk na afloop betalen) van versnaperingen
Dicht bij het centrum. en parkeergarage.
Vriendelijke gastvrouw. De verwarming in de kamer. Het was op enig moment, 's avonds laat en ook in de nacht, bloed heet. Kon niet zelf meer de radiator bijstellen.
"Hadden we even moeten bellen' zei de gastvrouw de volgende ochtend. We wilden zo laat echter niet meer storen. Heb zelf aan de knop gedraaid wat ook niet had gemoeten bleek. En we wisten ook niet dat ze dat online kon corrigeren. Die informatie mis je dan.
Er was geen duidelijke omschrijving aanwezig hoe het dakraam en het daarop bevestigde rolgordijn te bedienen.
Tip: leg even een kaartje neer in de hut met de aanwijzingen voor gebruik van raam, rolgordijn en de radiator op de kamer.

- Tim (10/5): A novelty and very comfortable - Very convenient for visiting the old town and eating out. Lovely to sit in the communal space, warm, quiet, hot drinks, games and a piano. We expected low ceilings but they were really high.
- Karin (9/5): - de verblijfplaats weet niet
- Jo (8/5): -
- Christa (8/5): Mooie locatie en tis weer eens wat anders - Knus, schoon, goede bedden en heerlijke douche. Goed en voldoende ontbijt gevarieerd Koffiezetapparaat moeilijk te bedienen
- Eeke (9/5): -
- Jordan (10/5): Unique accomodation, lovely location - Fun location! Thereâs an area with tables where breakfast is served, this space acts as a âcommon roomâ during other times. There was also a lovely piano. Easy check-in and check-out
- Eva (10/5): -
- Harriet (8/5): Super leuke locatie met een lieve, attente gastvrouw. Het is er gezellig, netjes en schoon. - Heerlijke plek om te verblijven als je de stad Amersfoort wilt verkennen. Erg leuke locatie, je loopt zo de stad in door de Koppelpoort. Simone is heel gastvrij en je voelt je direct thuis op het schip.
- Myrthe (8/5): -
- Marjolein (8/5): Bijzonder accommodatie op een hele goede plek. - De lokatie en ambiance zijn fantastisch. De eigenaars zijn bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Amersfoort is echt een mooie gezellige stad. De kamer is een piepkleine hut met een bed tussen 2 muren (hoofd en voeten tegen de muren). Wij zijn te lang voor deze set-up. Erg krap (nauwelijks plek voor je spullen).
Het dakraam bleef steeds automatisch sluiten vanwege regen dus het werd best benauwd.
- Janneke (9/5): -
- Van Den Berg (8/5): Prima verblijf gehad en bijzonder. - Fijne locatie. Niks
- Sandra (10/5): Perfect - Perfect locatie en hele aardige mensen Niet van toepassing
- Ben (10/5): Charming and great place to stay! - Lovely hosts, exactly as described, great location with short walk into Amersfoort, comfortable bed, very clean, great common room, room is small as to be expected on a ship but the open suitcases sliding under the bed like a drawer and the shelf in the bathroom and room make it really easy to keep and access your things. Loved it! Enjoyed it very much!
- Koen (8/5): -
- Ada (10/5): Geweldig leuk! - Geweldig leuke locatie om te overnachten, een schip geeft een aparte sfeer. Erg aardige host. Prachtige voorzieningen en een gezellige sfeer. Uitstekende uitvalsbasis om Amersfoort te verkennen. Niets viel tegen
- Johanna (9/5): Sehr schöne Idee fĂŒr einen StĂ€dtebesuch in Amersfoort. - Tolle Idee im Rumpf des Schiffes kleine Zimmer zu gestalten. Recht modern und im guten Zustand. Personal sehr freundlich und bei Begegnungen und FrĂŒhstĂŒck sehr familiĂ€r. Tolle Lage und flexibler Check In.
- W.D. (10/5): Een aanrader. - Een ontzettend leuke B&B op een prachtige locatie. Fijne gesprekken met de eigenaren. Wij komen zeker terug.
- Noortje (7/5): - De kamer was klein maar prima.
- Nicole Kosters (10/5): -
- Ankie (9/5): In alles een hele fijne plek voor een weekendje Amersfoort. - Het geheel, de boot, gastvrijheid, locatie. Kleine kamers, maar van alle gemakken voorzien en heel schoon. Hele fijne plek voor een weekendje Amersfoort. En niet te vergeten, het heerlijk verzorgde ontbijt buiten!

- Koen (5/5): -
- YIHSUAN (10/5): Good location and Cool Experience - Itâs very first experience on boat house! Very cool and house got everything I need! The owner is very friendly and nice âșïž No
- Saskia (9/5): - De gastvrouw Simone is een super vriendelijke mevrouw. Helpt graag waar nodig, ontbijt was ook goed en lekker en meer dan genoeg. En dat de boot dicht bij het entrum ligt. Amersfoort is een gezellig stadje. De grootte van onze kamer. Voor max 2 nachten ok. Maar we hebben ons erbij neergelegd, en genoten van de charmes van de boot en 4 nachten gebleven.
- Janneke (10/5): Superleuk!! - Heerlijke hutten, precies groot genoeg!
Gezellig ruim, waar je o.a. heerlijke koffie kunt drinken en spelletjes spelen Niets
- Kay (9/5): - Fabulously unique b&b in a great location in the heart of amersfoort. Lovely communal area for a perfect cup of coffee. Super comfy bed. Super clean. Great shower. Rooms are a little bit small if have lots of luggage with you.
- Tanja (10/5): Geweldig! Kom zeker terug! - Hele leuke locatie , mooie gemeenschappelijke ruimte en klein maar fijne kamer Niets
- Cathrien (9/5): -
- Tish (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, hospitality and unusual setting! Too short a stay.
- Erwin (9/5): Superb - The boat makes it a memorable experience. It is nicely refurbished, with a large common area where you can make your own coffee from freshly ground beans, and where a nice breakfast is served in the morning. The hosts were kind and the location was central. What more do you want?
- Neill (10/5): A highlight of our Netherlands tour. - Fantastic location, only metres from the famous Koppelpoort. Small room, but well appointed: carefully thought out and excellently maintained.
In the evening, all we could hear was the splashing from the passing paddle boarders.
- Kevin (10/5): super cool place and stay - Super location - the owners are very friendly and they make a great coffee nothing
- Elliot (10/5): Unique and exceptional! - What an awesome place to stay! The boat is quiet yet only a short walk from Amersfoort centre, and not far from the train station. Check-in and check-out were both easy. I enjoyed using the communal area in the evening, talking to some of the other nice guests onboard and then having a superb breakfast in the morning which filled me for the day ahead.
- Verena (8/5): Super cute place to stay, great breakfast, friendly host and very close to historic city center. -
- Melody (10/5): Absolutely Lovely - Everything was wonderful - clear checkin instructions, comfortable cabin with private shower room, delicious breakfast and very friendly hosts. Perfect location near ample parking and a short walk from the historic town centre. We would come back to Amersfoort again just to stay here, and we have told all our friends about it too!
- Herman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cynthia (10/5): Excellent location and fun experience! - Entry instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Breakfast was both varied and delicious!
The lounge was a pleasant spot to sit when it got too cold outside.
The cabin was snug and comfy with everything we needed. Storage underneath the bed was brilliant.
Washroom/shower were great - plenty of hot water.
Hosts are a lovely couple and very helpful. Thanks for adding a fresh dimension to our brief visit to Amersfoort.
- Alan (10/5): Hidden gem in Amersfoort - We had the best time during our stay at the B&B Vita Nova! Our room was fantastic, everything looked brand new and everyone was willing to help with anything we needed.
- Luise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Excellent - The place itÂŽs absolutely lovely, will all you need.
- Nikolov (9/5): Enjoyable experience - I was surprised how cozy the boat was. The rooms were the perfect size for a single person/couple. I also liked that you have a professional espresso machine to make yourself a free coffee/tea. I donât have anything in specific.
- Oscar (9/5): Comfortabel - Bed
- Leo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Agnieszka (9/5): Superb - The view is beautiful, you go to bed with the ocean and you wake up with the ocean. Very well equipped and clean apartment.
- Zuzana (9/5): Superb - Everything was great, just as I came from the rainy and cold evening, I would have hoped to have option to make a tea as in the self service option were only cold/room temperature drink options.
- Katinka (10/5): Subliem - So warm and cozy litterly a little pot belly fire going when we got there amazing Nothing pure magic
- Lotte (10/5): Cosy cabin! - Coffee machine. Selection of teas. Complimentary fruit.
It was spacious and very warm. Just lovely.
- Grasso (7/5): Staying on a boat was distinctive but a bit small for future stays on a boatell. - Eliane's excellent support and service. Charming great room. Well located to the old town. The room was tiny but functioned adequately.
- Judit (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptionally lovely staff and amazing breakfast.
- Michael (9/5): Cosy boat, right in the heart of Amersfoort. - The breakfast was great. The host is a wonderful person. She was very kind and consideration. Made us a lovely breakfast before we went out. Really liked the location, near the heart of Amersfoort. Staying on a boat can be a bit cramped, especially for a taller person. Nothing to take away from the host and the place, but just something to be aware of if tight spaces are not your thing.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional - It was a unique accommodation in a lovely quiet area.
- Caitlin (10/5): Sensational experience - Our stay was incredibly enjoyable, the facilities were immaculate and very impressive given it is on the boat! We could not have been more comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding! N/A
- Michiel (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly host, great location, clean and cosy Canât think of anything negative
- George (10/5): Great for short stay close to downtown. - Tiny room, but you have everything you need for a short stay.It is close to the center on a pretty quiet road, 2min away from a bus station. Breakfast is a bit expensive.
- Boj (9/5): Unique location - Unique and awesome location. Very clean and modern facilities in the room. The location feels very local and small business, which we prefer over big chain hotels.
The rooms are equipped with a wonderful big and automated skylight and a fan which is nice when it's hot outside. The temperature was agreeable during the night.
If you don't have any other plans, make sure to have a breakfast here too! As the hotel is small-scale, you will have a freshly prepared breakfast with amazing local bread, good coffee, yoghurt, eggs, fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. All served by a dedicated and lovely host, Anna (in the weekends). The rooms were relatively small but manageable. Just don't bring too much luggage. There is however a big space under the bed where you can store your suitcases.
The light in the bathroom was quite dim, so difficult to use for applying make up (we were attending a wedding).
If you need darkness to sleep, bring a sleep mask. The wonderful skyligh, which is a blessing by day, makes for a lot of light in the early mornings too unfortunately.
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed in the Captains cabin with our baby and it was really great, they have really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Muis (10/5): What a gem. Second time I stayed here and will not be the last. - The breakfast is delicious, with all these little special things
- Jeff (9/5): Superb - Friendly service. Clean, no, spotless!!. Great location. Everything worked for me Nothing not to like
- Jacob (10/5): Perfect getaway stay, quiet and cozy! - We absolutely loved our stay on this well-decorated and cozy boat, perfectly located. The host, ElĂšne, made sure we felt at home and served us some fantastic locally roasted coffee.
- Buks (8/5): Very good -
- Luc (9/5): Superb -
- Michi (10/5): A memorable stay - It felt much more adventurous to stay on a boat than in a hotel! The barge is very tastefully designed and the rooms are well equipped. It was lovely to light the stoves as the weather was still quite chilly. The steps into the boat are steep, so one has to be careful getting on and off the boat. However even our elederly parents managed.
The location was very convenient for exploring the centre of Amersfoort. The breakfast was amazing. Elene was a delightful host. We liked everything!
- Quinten (10/5): Exceptional -
