Amsterdam Center - Houseboat by Captain Ricard

Captain Rik was a charming host on this beautiful, authentic Dutch houseboat situated in the heart of Amsterdam.

Nothing

Awesome and unique Houseboat experience. Great communications. Would recommend 👌

Refill soap-bottle and optional: Add little extras like slippers or chocolate on the bed

Originalité de logement

L ouverture naturel pour descendre est compliquée même si elle est normale pour une péniche

Great location very close to the centre. Comfortable walking distance from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Room was clean.

The Captain lives on board so access to the accommodation was difficult as we were unable to enter via the main door. This meant having to walk along the side of the boat which was very narrow, and slippy, as it was raining. You can only do this walking sideways as it is very narrow, and by holding on to the gutter for safety which was wet as it was raining, covered in leaves/debris and the occasional cobweb. We found it dangerous and felt unsafe. It is not possible to do this with luggage. In regard to the accommodation itself, I was travelling with a large suitcase and unfortunately there was no storage or cupboard space anywhere and the bedroom was quite compact to start with. There is only one mirror which is in the bathroom behind the sink and fogs up after a shower. Not ideal for applying make-up etc. There is no TV in the room, or even a radio we could listen to or stream music.
