The one thing we couldn’t get used to was the toilet as it’s such a small room and none of us are small but we did find it extremely amusing. There were a few things on the list that were not actually on the boat like a washing machine an oven and we couldn’t find a hairdryer anywhere. Luckily l took mine with me.

The location of Houseboat Rose was perfect the Metro and tram line were a 2 minute walk there was a lovely bar virtually right outside. Even though the area is busy it was also peaceful. The Lidl was only about a 5 minute walk away.

Couch at dinner table only had small cushions to sit on otherwise hard surface. would be much better with a shapes foam mattress. Rythmic knocking sound from the restroom; maybe a water pressure overflow?

Amazing location, ambiance. Great bedrooms views.

It was rather damp inside (condensation on portholes), but the heating made up for it. We also felt that the sitting area in the kitchen was not so comfy (blankets on a plank of wood). The low ceilings can make it hard for tall people to move around without banging heads everywhere, and the steep stairs might be a challenge for people with weak knees (our staffie dog managed alright though 😊).

We loved that it was a boat! The view on the canal and houses was in itself a treat. Beds were really comfortable and the bathroom was huge! The fully equipped kitchen (with a dishwasher) was much appreciated. The whole place was nicely decorated, we had a great time.

I would’ve appreciated soap and shampoo as I only flew in for the night

Comfortable, roomy and really well stocked

It was dark when we arrived, so a sensor light above the key lock would have helped, but apart from that all good. We left the lounge light on at night, so we knew where to come back to!👍

Beautiful location, fabulously clean boat. Everything you needed, was on there. Two very satisfied travellers : )

Leaving!

We absolutely loved our stay on Houseboat Rose! We stayed in Amsterdam for a little over a week and I wanted to feel like we were part of the city (not locked away in a hotel room) and it was the perfect choice. Sitting in the top room watching the world go by was absolutely magical and the rest of the space was clean, warm, comfortable and well-equipped (the shower was incredible!). The hosts provided great information for check-in and were responsive and kind when we had questions.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

The boat was so comfortable, everything that was needed was supplied. Not far from the tram amd metro stops, so literally 10 minutes into the centre. The beds were amazing and it was so warm, we really loved our stay.

Could not get the TV to work nowhere to sit comfortably for us all but not in the boat for too long so didn't make a difference to us too much.

The boat was lovely and clean and with all amenities including hair dryer. A folder with information in to help with your stay. Lovely hot shower and bath. Boat lovely and warm. Very spacious.

It had everything we needed from coffee to a Hairdryer! The location was perfect, only a short tram ride to the centre, and the boat itself was beautiful.

The toilet is very small but it works perfectly well!

The location is great! Metro was only a few minutes walk away. Loved the communal areas, inside and out.

Nothing!

We absolutely loved staying here. It is within east reach of central Amsterdam. The boat is very well designed and comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating and gave a lot of great information.

Nothing - we would love to stay again.

If you get a chance to stay here - take it! This beautiful houseboat is ideally located fro exploring Amsterdam, only a couple of metro stops from the Central Station. It was very easy to find, the host gave us all the details in advance including location of the nearest metro station and supermarket. The houseboat itself was lovely - you could look out onto the canals from the 'living room' at the top or sit out on the bow of the ship to watch the world go by. Inside was well furnished with everything we needed for a self-catering adventure. Our two boys were very happy as well. Book it, you won't be disappointed!

there was nothing I didn't like

the house boat was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. Arthur is an exceptional host and sent lots of information... maps photos....and detailed checking in informationlocation was perfect...quiet and relaxed and easy walk to museums and historic centre.

I went with 2 girls and we had a ball. We loved the boat it’s in a good location lovely and warm and we found it nice and quiet.

We didn’t know that a tenant was staying in the other half of the boat. There are two doors connecting and our door wasn’t locked in anyway. Some research later we found that they have to have a permanent tenant on the boat. We only saw them outside twice and didn’t hear anything at all from them and so it didn’t bother us.

We didn’t really know what to expect when we arrived but we were very impressed. The boat has been refurbished to a high standard and has absolutely everything that you need for a great break in Amsterdam. The host was also fantastic and very helpful.

There was nothing that we didn’t like about the property

I liked the location of the property as it was out of the crowds that where further down, but close enough to join in. Very clean and comfortable and had all that we needed.

Nothing - it was perfect

Houseboat Rose was an amazing and unique stay for us in Amsterdam! Spacious, comfy, clean, good communication with the hosts and an amazing location with plenty of bars and restaurants within a short 3-5 mins walk. 100% recommend!
