This is definitely worth the stay.
Pros:

This was a really fun experience. We were able to walk to most places that we wanted to go. The breakfast buffet was diverse, fresh and plentiful. Agnes was so very helpful and always cheerful. It is so handy to be close to the Central train station. The common room and deck area were comfortable and a fun place to connect with other guests.

Cons:

The room was very small and not a place where we spent much time.

Pros:

Excellent location and a very friendly host who made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet was abundant, with plenty of options each morning.

Cons:

We visited in late spring during an exceptionally hot period, with temperatures exceeding 30°C. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was not functioning at the time, as it was awaiting its annual service. This made our stay less comfortable than expected.

Pros:

It was a lovely spot and a fun and different place to stay. Breakfast was great and Romek was a great host.

Cons:

It was difficult to move around in the bathroom, and the towels were not replaced or the beds made up.

See above
Pros:

Romek gave us a warm welcome and was informative about the workings of the boat. The breakfast was a bonus and full of variety. Excellent free tea and coffee machine. Would recommend to anyone and stay there again if I went back

Cons:

The room was compact but designed to maximise the space to full use. Not a dislike really.

Excellent accommodation that contributed to a successful holiday.
Pros:

Excellent location. Attentive and understanding staff. Great breakfast, freshly made. Neat accommodation - what’s not to like about a boat in Amsterdam?

Cons:

This question forces you find something negative, which is a bit picky. I don’t know, maybe the towels could be larger?

Im großen und Ganzen eine absolute Empfehlung
Pros:

Sehr tolle Unterkunft. Super freundliches Personal und alles da was man braucht. Lage zum Zentrum war perfekt.

Cons:

Das einzige Manko, es war sehr hellhörig. Wenn man einen leichten Schlaf hat, kann es u.U. etwas laut sein.

Eine ganze besondere Art, Amsterdam zu entdecken.
Pros:

Die Schiffseigner sind extrem freundlich, an Bord herrscht eine familiäre Atmosphäre. Die Lage des Hotelschiffes mitten im Zentrum ist perfekt. Natürlich geht es viel enger zu als in einem Hotelzimmer. Aber das Ambiente macht alles wett ......

Simple but confortable accomodation
Pros:

Simple accommodation, basic rooms and facilities.
Excellent breakfast.
Nice livingroom.
Free coffe/tea machine all day long.
Nice experience all in all in a boat.

Cons:

No towels change and no cleaning in 5 days stay. We could have asked I guess.
