It was a great stay, as we wanted to do something different. And that definitely was! The breakfast was fantastic and gave us a good start for the day. You can always go and stay in a hotel, abut how often do you get the chance of staying in a houseboat? We really did enjoy your stay, though short.

Very disappointed withthe accomodation. Felt that the revies on Hotel World were missleading. Accomodation very cramped and not at all suitable for our age group. Would be good for backpackers or young.

The "botel" is spartan, but seemed safe and comfortable. The location, a 10 minute walk from Centraal Station, is unbeatable and the price is quite reasonable. A good, if simple, breakfast is provided and the coffee was great. My only criticism was that the shared shower was, by North American standards, just a dribble. But, overall, I'd stay there again. The staff are most helpful and the other guests were an interesting mix of people from all over the world. Cheers, Robert

The hostel was in a great location. The rooms are tiny and the bathrooms are very strange, however the breakfast is great and it is a really nice place. The staff were very helpful.

a bit small in the room and quite hot on a sunny day.. but overall a very good n unique experience to overnight in a boat.. although we had quite an inconsiderate neighbour to our room who still make a lot of noises in the night n banging the door but of course this does not affect our rating cz it has nothing to do with the hotel..

not a young crowd, hard to meet people and kind of out of the way, but none the less, a cool place to stay because its a boat
