Hotel Details

Location

Moored in Oosterdok, 15 minutes from Central Station, 10 minutes from the city centre on foot.
The boat is permanently moored in Amsterdam's Oosterdok area, providing views over the IJ-river. Central Station is a 15-minute walk, making rail and tram connections to Schiphol Airport and the wider city easily accessible. The city centre and Dam Square are within a 10-15 minute walk, placing major museums, shops and restaurants within easy reach. NEMO Science Museum is 450 metres away, Artis Zoo is 800 metres, and Rembrandt House Museum is a 10-minute walk. The location is quiet despite being central, and a bus stop is nearby for additional travel flexibility. Parking is not available on-site, but a nearby car park and P+R facilities are alternatives.

Accommodation

Rooms are compact, basic but comfortable, with private bathrooms featuring a walk-in shower.
All rooms include a private bathroom with a shower, toilet and hairdryer; free toiletries are provided. The boat offers double rooms with a queen bed (180x200 cm), twin rooms with two single beds that can be pushed together, and a triple room with a private entrance. Rooms are heated and have air conditioning; some feature a computer, wardrobe, carpeted floor and terrace access. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. The accommodation is described as clean, well-maintained, and 'boat-like' in character, with comfortable beds and pillows. Rooms do not have balconies. The accommodation is well-suited for short city stays where location and practicality are prioritised over space.

Dining

Continental breakfast is available for 12 EUR; free hot drinks are available throughout the day.
Breakfast is served as a buffet with continental, vegetarian, and American-style options. The buffet typically includes sliced meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables, yogurt, fruit, breads, pastries, and an egg dish. The breakfast is noted for its variety and quality, and is served in a lounge area that remains open for seating throughout the afternoon and evening. Hot drinks - coffee, tea, and hot chocolate - are available free of charge all day from a self-service machine. There is no restaurant or bar on board, but the lounge area provides a comfortable space for relaxing or working. Nearby dining options within a 500-metre walk include Nemo Museumrestaurant, Bakers & Roasters, and Restaurant Stalpaert.

Leisure

Sun umbrellas and a terrace are provided; no spa, pool or fitness facilities are available.
Wellness and leisure facilities are limited to the outdoor areas: a terrace with outdoor furniture and picnic space, plus free sun umbrellas provided. The boat does not have a swimming pool, spa, or gym. The shared lounge and TV area inside offers a communal space for relaxing, and board games are available. The terrace provides a place to sit with views of the IJ-river. For more extensive leisure activities, the nearby city centre and attractions serve as the primary recreation options.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the luggage storage before check-in and after checkout to explore the city unburdened.

  • 02

    Plan to arrive within the 15:00-18:00 check-in window, as late arrivals require prior coordination.

  • 03

    Arrange a taxi via the property's preferred ATS service for airport transfers, as there is no dedicated shuttle.

  • 04

    Request a specific bed configuration (queen or twin) at booking if a particular setup is required.
