Great view, clean, good location. We have a small problem but they solved it right away. To be a port side facility is not smelly. Great option.

We stayed in the B room, it was amazing! Awesome half pipe, insane views from the each side, the bed was so comfy too. The boatel is so easy to get to, and the ferry to the centre is right outside - couldn’t be closer!

Ok place to stay. In a quiet location with easy access to Amsterdam via the free ferries. Dangerously hot showers though, that should be really be replaced. Expensive for what it is really, but you're paying to stay in Amsterdam I suppose.

Clean and functional. Good location next to the commuter ferry dropping you right in the middle of things. Good restaurant options in the harbour. (Breakfast onboard not great.) Would recommend.
