Pros:

The location was great. You can walk easily along the back from the station to get there in 5-10 minutes. The cabins were comfortable and with lots of storage that made up for the smaller space. The waste pressure was great in the bathroom. The best thing, though, was the breakfast. It was delicious with new things appearing each day and themed place mats for the day. There was a lounge area to sit in, and you could serve yourself drinks at cheaper rates than the bars and just leave an honesty slip to say what you had. Mark and Anna were super friendly and helpful. In summary, a fabulous stay!

Cons:

Nothing negative at all.

Pros:

La posizione: in centro vicinissimo al NEMO, alla stazione e al centro e allo stesso tempo lontano dal casino dei locali. Tramonto bellissimo in luglio! Accoglienza famigliare con il ‘capitano’ che ci ha spiegato il contesto e offerto una mappa e la signora super gentile entrambi si sono occupati delle nostre colazioni molto variegate per tutti i gusti e soprattutto croissant super buoni per chi come me ama colazioni all’italiana dolci.

Une très chouette expérience et une ambiance accueillante et cosy.
Pros:

L'ambiance cosy de la péniche, l'accueil et la gentillesse de l'hôte, la cabine fonctionnelle, la literie confortable.

Cons:

L'insonorisation est difficile à bord d'une péniche mais il faisait bien calme la nuit.

Pros:

Прекрасный и необычный вариант. Тихий район, но одновременно с этим легко добраться до центра и достопримечательностей. Чистота, гостеприимство на высшем уровне. Затрак - это отдельный восторг. Полное ощущение, что ты приехал погостить к семье или хорошим друзьям.

Ein rundum stimmiger, perfekter Kurzurlaub
Pros:

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.

A relaxing stay on a beautiful, friendly and comfortable boat in the centre of Amsterdamu
Pros:

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!

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

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.

Cons:

The room did get quite very stuffy. There was also a lot of maintenance happening which I know can't be helped

Lämminhenkinen ja upea majoituspaikka hyvällä sijainnilla
Pros:

Erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Huone oli erittäin siisti ja toimiva. Aamupala oli erinomainen.

Cons:

Yöllä äänet huoneen yläpuolelta (kannelta) kantautuivat huoneeseen. Hiljaisuudesta pidettiin tosin hyvin huolta.
