Completely exceeded expectations, would recommend.
Pros:

Staff were so kind and friendly, ensuite, sizeable room for two, working, clean shower and toilet, complimentary tea and coffee 24/7. Breakfast selection was very complete. Towels provided.

Cons:

Honestly, not much! Maybe was a bit costly but compared to rest of the city I would say it was very standard. The bathrooms, understandably are not very spacious, but it's a boat!

Leuke ervaring
Pros:

Het was superleuk om op een boot te slapen, de kamer was prima voor 1 nachtje, van alles voorzien. Netjes en schoon. Persoonlijk vond ik de bedden te hard. Ongeveer 15 minuutjes lopen vanaf het station en winkelstraat.

Cons:

Aangezien wij tijdens ADE (was ook een beetje onze eigen fout) in Amsterdam waren, was de prijs echt schreeuwend. Ik vind het verschil met normaal wel echt enorm groot.

If you are bored or want a change from a hotel try this hotel boat...and hope that Agnes is onboard.
Pros:

Agnes was absolutely brilliant, ensuring our stay was fantastic. Continental breakfast and great coffee and orange juice followed by 10-15 minutes walk to railway station or central Amsterdam. What more does one want? A very friendly and accommodating stay.

Cons:

If I was being really picky, a separate shampoo rather than all in one wash would have been appreciated.
