Guests can have wine or champagne, fruits and chocolates or cookies delivered to their room. At the boat, units come with bed linen and towels.

Really nice and unique place in Amsterdam Noord, a lovely place to stay and relax from all the impressions from the main city. Still, it is conveniently located close to the Noorderpark, which itself is a single stop on the Metro from Amsterdam Centraal. Alex is a great host, very friendly and helpful. As the Room is below deck you can also enjoy your privacy if you want to. I would definitely recommend this place!

Boasting a terrace, Boat no breakfast provides accommodation in Amsterdam with free WiFi and river views. This Boat no breakfast is less than 1 km from Basilica of St. Nicholas and an 18-minute walk from Dam Square.

Although it is the winter season, there has never been a heating problem. The beds were super comfortable. Having Netflix and apple tv was an advantage. It was stationed on a quiet canal in the main center of the city. Our host was a super positive person. He helped us with everything. The sound insulation was great. There was a private entrance. The hot water and shower were great. When we go to the Netherlands again, it is definitely a place we would like to stay. Almost all the attractions were within walking distance.

First, our host was friendly and accommodating from the start! She advised us on parking, travel in and around city center, made sure we felt comfortable in every way. My family of 4 rented 2 cabins, we had everything we needed, and it felt very special. Every nook and cranny was clean, information sheet was helpful, coffee supplies, refrigerator, and sweet touches like flowers and extra blankets and towels!

    This houseboat stay was so lovely. Koen and Olivia were very helpful and arranging a time to check in was easy. The little touches like local beers in the fridge or umbrellas to borrow were great extras. The houseboat is easily reachable from the city centre by bus or tram, but also not that far to walk. The houseboat was so clean, comfortable and perfect for a couple of nights. We loved being on the water and feeling like we got a real Amsterdam experience.
