Super agréable je recommande vivement
Pros:

L’hôte était très agréable (parle beaucoup de langues : français, hollandais, anglais, allemand, arabe et portugais !). La chambre etait parfaitement suffisante et confortable, le lieu est facilement trouvable et accessible et est surtout au cœur d’Amsterdam ! Le petit déjeuner était complet et copieux.

Cons:

Les plages horaires pour faire le check in sont peut être un peu restreintes (entre 15h et 18h)
A prévoir : Il n’y a pas de parking mais l’hôte nous a recommandé un parking à 15min de marche à 45e la journée (dans la tour booking.com).

The best boat hotel in town.
Pros:

We loved our host. 10/10 just for her. Very accommodating and friendly. Even had a nice pop-quiz for our Sunday breakfast. The boat is very nice and in a great area close to the center.

Cons:

The walls are pretty thin so I think the place is best suited for chill people, couples… not for stags.

Cons:

Het hotel kon er niks aan doen maar het regende zo hard dat in de badkamer het water door het raamkozijn liep
