Felicitas, hotel in Amsterdam

Situated in Amsterdam centre, 1.1 km from Rembrandt House and 1.2 km from Dutch National Opera & Ballet, Felicitas features accommodation with free WiFi and a terrace.

Our host Tim and his team were extremely welcoming and clearly work very hard on the boat to make their guest's experience a happy one. We really appreciated the service of the staff. We also really enjoyed the functionality of the boat. The cabins were comfortable and clean and the communal space was ideal for our small group. And the WiFi gave us no issues despite being on the move on the water!

City Sailing, hotel in Amsterdam

Boasting lake views, City Sailing offers accommodation with a terrace and a balcony, around 3.8 km from Rembrandt House.

The location gave us further insight into life on the water in Amsterdam away from the city centre itself. The tram and bus services were excellent. The water life habitat combined with small urban habitat, including schools and local shops and bars produced a good outdoor safe feeling vibe. Our Hosts Ely & Jasper were not intrusive, spoke great English and so so helpful with the journey logistics and the boat logistics. Lovely people.

    Close to Amsterdam Centre but far enough from the crowds! A 13 minute Tram ride from the centre. Athough no breakfast was provided; this was known before I booked, a local cafe "Bagels and Beans" 3-4 minutes walk away in IJBurg provided an excellent breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere (Cafe had free WiFi for planning my day). As the weather happened to be excellent during my stay; I had the use of the Jetty outside the Houseboat for relaxing in the evenings.

    The houseboat was amazing! Just as pictured. The host Sietske was absolutely amazing. She had a whole list of the places to go, the cheapest and best places to hire things. Sietske allowed us in early to drop our bags as we came off the night train. I would have definitely loved to stay there a bit longer and have time (and the weather) to enjoy the deck area up above. Loved it and have recommended it to all of my friends and family.

    We had an amazing time on Jan's house boat. The place is beautiful and we had everything we could ask for. The location is fantastic with the best views from the terrace. The rental came with two very powerful electric bikes. These are perfect for longer trips and to explore the city. We'll definitely be back!

    Koen and Olivia were the most fantastic hosts. We stayed for my mum's birthday and they went above and beyond to make it an even more special trip by providing decorations, bottle of bubbles and even some cake. The houseboat itself was beautifully decorated and clean with great facilities. It was an amazing experience to stay on the canals of Amsterdam. There were plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Would highly recommend a stay at Koen and Olivia's houseboat!

    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.
