1 Bedroom Boat Rental in Amsterdam City Centre, Amsterdam

Back in the 1600s ! : Your houseboat is moored with its South view on one of the most romantic and peaceful canals, surrounded by a XVIIth century architecture and the Carillon of Zuiderkerk (1614) painted by Claude Monet (1874).
The houseboat is for 2 guests with a king size bed 2m/1m80 with its overhead window for watching stars, surrounded by a paintings gallery and its large Louis XV mirror reflecting the South windows over the canal.
You will appreciate being located in the historical area of Nieuwmarkt, 5 minutes walking distance from Central Station or 40 meters from the metro station 'Nieuwmarkt', close by the tram lines 2, 4, 11, 12, 14 and 24, and the metro line 52 at Rokin station.
The hull (Praam type) and the original structure were built during "La Belle Epoque" in 1898, making it one of the oldest boats in Amsterdam. The last renovation took place in 2010 for the hull doubling and 2019 for the house but respecting its historical charm.
Two times, the City Hall of Amsterdam gave to the boat the price of the most beautiful garden of the center.

Summary: I enjoyed my stay here but this venue is not for everyone. The listing shows photos that do not represent the conditions accurately. They show the interior of the houseboat to be much lighter and brighter than actual conditions. Some of the photos are either very old or show a different houseboat. The interior furnishings are very kitchy. Also, the exterior of the boat is in poor physical condition: There is damaged siding and a broken window on the port side and the boat lists noticeably to starboard and towards the bow making navigation inside somewhat difficult, especially when making nighttime treks from bedroom to bathroom.

Summary: The houseboat was right in the middle of central so you could basically walk to every spot. It’s also in a nice quiet area. Sometimes tour boats go by the window which was a bit odd but other than that amazing place.

Summary: I was really excited to see what it would be like on a canal boat. One of the first things that happened was a pair of swans floated by. Pretty cool. The location of the boat was in the middle of everything. A great jumping off point to tour the center of Amsterdam. I enjoyed my accommodation and exploring the city.

Summary: My partner and I spent a week in Amsterdam and wanted a central location in a more unique accommodation than a hotel. This houseboat was perfect! The canal it’s located on is a quieter street compared to the nearby bustling shops and restaurants. We were within close biking or walking distance to everything we wanted to explore. The houseboat exterior is picturesque in the canal and charming. The interior is a collection of different antiques, trinkets, fabrics, and decor. Some may find it a bit dated but we appreciated the history, bohemian feel, and coziness. We adored waking up to the skylight above our bed and seeing ducks swim across the canal outside our window. Bathroom and kitchen amenities were satisfactory throughout our stay. We definitely would recommend the experience of staying in this amazing houseboat!

Summary: We loved our stay on this houseboat! The host made the check in process easy and helped us figure out transportation there. We have never seen a place like this before. There is such unique decor inside, we were discovering new fun decorations after four days of staying there! The location was also great, we able to walk to most of the places we wanted to go to. It’s about five minutes from the Red Light District and there are a lot of great shops and restaurants nearby. This was one of our favorite accommodations we’ve ever stayed in because of its uniqueness!

Summary: This houseboat is the ideal place to stay in Amsterdam. It’s fun, funky, and very comfortable. Centrally located, it’s easy to walk to all the sites and museums we wanted to see. It’s also right by a subway stop for going further. At night, open the widows and let the breezes and soft sounds of the canal waft over you

Summary: My fiancee and myself really enjoyed our stay at this accommodation, having an entire houseboat to ourselves in the middle of the historical city center was a great experience. We never had to travel far to get to the main sites to see and whenever we got tired of all the hussle and bussle of this massive city we had a place entirely to ourselves to retire in for the rest of the day. I thought the stay was very cozy and in general the houseboat was a great venue with its excentric design both in its interior and the exterior garden. One thing however i think i should mention is that it is very clear that this is infact someones home and not exclusively used as a guest accomodation. The homeowners things, namely toiletries, kitchen supplies, books and records were still very present on the houseboat. Although this was not an issue in any way as It did not bother us at all during our stay, it was just a funny detail i thought i should mention. The owner and hosts are very helpful with communication both before and during the check in, everything was nicely explained and we got lovely recommendations for museums and local restaurants. We also had the opportunity to remain in contact should we need anything during our stay but luckily did not need it. Still it was great to have such a friendly and communicative host. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would certainly come back!

Summary: Overall great location and price. My husband suffers from allergies and it wasn't transparent there was a cat that lives there when guests aren't there. Also would have appreciated more flexibility and conciseness of the check-in process since we were internationally traveling there from the states and unable to check-in earlier upon a red-eye early morning arrival then we had to meet in person which was very long and interactive.
