Nice experience all in all in a boat.

Tolle zentrumsnahe Unterkunft mit freundlichem Personal.
Pros:

Das Zimmer war einfach aber gemütlich, wir mochten es sehr. Die Betten fanden wir sehr bequem. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage des Boots war perfekt - 10 bis 15 Minuten Fußweg ins Zentrum.

Tutto bene, ma problemi per il deposito bagagli
Pros:

Struttura accogliente, pulita, letti comodi, buona colazione, a poco più di 1 km dal centro e dalla stazione centrale.

Cons:

Il giorno della partenza ho richiesto di poter usufruire del deposito bagagli fino alle 17 e mi è stato concesso solo fino alle 15, il problema era che avendo un viaggio organizzato, da tempo, della durata di 8 ore, ho dovuto cambiare i miei programmi e non lo trovo davvero corretto dato che su booking è indicata la possibilità di poter usufruire del deposito bagagli e non è previsto nessun orario di ritiro.

Pros:

A Amsterdam loger sur une péniche c’est incomparable. Super.
Quand tu arrives d’Oslo où tu étais pour assister à la fin de la coupe du monde de biathlon et que tu es accueilli par Christofz, polonais comme moi et fan de biathlon regardant ce que j’ai vu il y a quelques jours sur place. Drôle de coïncidence.

Terrific place, great value. Enjoyed it!
Pros:

Breakfast was great every morning, European in focus (sliced meats & cheeses), fresh cucumbers & tomatoes, yogurt, fruit and an egg dish. Lots of breads. It was perfect start to the day. Our room (with single beds) was fine, clean, very "boat like". Enjoyed the stay, the staff was friendly and helpful.

Canal barge experience
Pros:

Very friendly, welcoming staff. If you want to see what it is like to stay on a typical barge boat, with small berths to sleep in, this is a chance to do it without committing to a week or so riding canals. I enjoyed the novelty, and good breakfasts!

Cons:

I bit of a walk from main museums (25-30min) walk to downtown 15
