Pros:

Location was excellent. The host was friendly and informative and the breakfast was fantastic

Cons:

Not the barge company's fault but booking.com would need to liaise better with exact location of the barge as there are several on site.

Pros:

Les chambres sont exiguës comme on peut l’attendre sur un bateau . Mais somme doute confortables . Le prix du logement à Amsterdam est assez inaccessible. L’emplacement et l’expérience de la nuit sur un bateau vaut le coût . Pour un couple ou un voyage pour une famille monoparentale.
L’accueil était chaleureux .

Pros:

Our host was super nice and helpful. We liked the view of water, location central to town and major tourist places like Nemo Science museum for kids, 10min walk to restaurants etc. Breakfast was great and the extra beverage available through the day was great.

Cons:

Signage of the botel can be a bit more visible
