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.

Room was better than expected. Had a cosy vibe with a lovely bed and plenty of space for a cabin on a boat. Nice sea view, which was also great for checking the nearby ferries to the centre. Communal areas could do with abit of an update but you're not there to stay in the corridor! Staff very friendly and helpful, would definitely stay again.

Unique place to stay, close to city

Stayed here many times but this was the first since being renovated! Great place to stay, rooms are small but clean & have plenty of character. Staff friendly & the night time security guard is the best! Will definitely be back again and cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for somewhere close enough to the city without the price tag. Ferry from NDSM is free and runs every 20 mins to Centraal until 1:30am.

Perfectly fine for somewhere to get my head down, bed was comfortable. Very hot water in bathroom and although the shower head was small there was incredible pressure which came from it. Radiators quick to heat the room. Liked that checkout was 11am!
