We stayed in the B room, it was amazing! Awesome half pipe, insane views from the each side, the bed was so comfy too. The boatel is so easy to get to, and the ferry to the centre is right outside - couldn’t be closer!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Hotel sehr genossen! Perfekte ruhige Ausgangslage, um mit der Fähre in die quirlige Innenstadt von Amsterdam überzusetzen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Direkte Nähe zu Streetart Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Ok place to stay. In a quiet location with easy access to Amsterdam via the free ferries. Dangerously hot showers though, that should be really be replaced. Expensive for what it is really, but you're paying to stay in Amsterdam I suppose.
