Pros:

The owner/stuff were very friendly and polite.
The room was clean
The boat is located a few minutes walk from the central train station.

Cons:

The cabin was not what I expected, although I ve stayed to similar hotel/boats in the past. We were given cabin No 1, which is situated right under the stair leading from the upper deck into thereception desk and dinning room. That meant, a huge bulk, being the back side of the stairs, occupying half the room. In fact, we had half a room only to use

Experiencia única y de 10
Pros:

Maravillosa la atención del personal, muy cercanos y facilitando siempre resolver dudas o cualquier cuestión para facilitar la estancia. El desayuno muy completo y hay café, té y agua disponible todo el día. La ubicación es muy buena, sin estar en el meollo de Ámsterdam pero muy cerca a pie (15 minutos al centro). Está a 10 minutos de la estación central, ideal si llegas en tren del aeropuerto y si contratas algu a excursión porque salen de ahí. Muy recomendable.

Cons:

Nada. La estancia fue de 10.

Silvester auf dem Hotelboot l8l
Pros:

Wir waren für fünf Nächte in einer niedlichen Koje, die mit allem ausgestattet war, was es braucht, um gut ausgeruht nach einem sehr guten Frühstück mit dem weltbesten Kaffee in den Grachtengürtel Amsterdams zu starten. Die Atmosphäre an Bord ist super herzlich und familiär, wir wurden mit hilfreichen Infos und am letzten Tag wegen unserer frühen Abreise mit einem üppigen Lunchpaket versorgt und liebevoll verabschiedet. Besser hätten wir nicht ins neue Jahe starten können 💜!
