"The houseboat was comfortable and our host was so friendly and accommodating. While we loved our stay, it's worth noting that the location is further from the city centre than we had expected and amenities like the washroom are not what we expected (cannot flush toilet paper and very small shower). We did not mind this being avid campers, but figured its worth noting for other people who may want more comfortable features for their vacation. "

"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

"We really enjoyed staying on the boat while we were in Amsterdam! It was a very cool experience and the space was gorgeous.
There was plenty of room, and the inside of the boat was well laid out and had a modern finish.
The location was fantastic, right in the centre of the city and easy to find, and Han came out to meet us as well to ensure we got there okay, despite it being late when we arrived.
Han was a very attentive and lovely host, with clear instructions beforehand and on check...

"We were very impressed with the host’s communication! The boat has a prime location with the feel of full immersion into daily Dutch life, super quiet nights with close proximity to all of the activity in the city center. The most unique experience either of us have ever had in the Netherlands and most certainly both of our favorite trips! Thank you so much!"

"The hotel offered a clean place to lay our heads after catching the downtown bus right across the street. Very convenient access to the bus and staff gave great instructions.
It was not your fault the kitchen caught on fire just as we were going to dinner. We had to order in mediocre quality pizza instead. It was a letdown for our last day in the Netherlands."
"This hotel has a lot of positives, great location, friendly staff, great breakfast buffet. The hotel is steps away from the central train station. A very busy area, however with windows closed our room was very quiet. Our main negative, we booked the Executive room with canal view. The description says it sleeps 4, however our room was very small with only 1 chair. I had to go down to guest services twice to get another chair sent up. The description on the website showed a loveseat. Our room was so small, there was no room for a loveseat hardly enough to walk around with the 2 chairs. Definitely the website and the room we booked did not match the room we were given. We were very dissapointed!! "
"Great affordable stay with friendly staff, lovely restaurant. Room very small however suitable for a short stay, nice shower. Good location, just one stop to Amsterdam Central. Would recommend! "
"The staff are pretty unhelpful and quite rude. It’s a really hands off experience. No way of contacting reception. No water in the room. Nothing to do around the property.
Rooms are comfy and clean. The station is very near to get into the centre of town"
"What a great experience! This place has such a cool vibe. Rooms are tiny but modern or even futuristic! The “living room” atmosphere on the main floor was funky and fun. The food and drink was great. We really enjoyed our stay, so close to the (at) the airport! Loved it!"
