Well-located in the dock area adjacent to the railway station and the Nemo Science Museum (though be warned the boat moves location from time to time and indeed was not where I expected it when I arrived).
It is a basic boat so cannot be described as luxurious but you get what you pay for in this central location. Both the toilet and shower are shared and the room had a single power socket (no treats such as USB charging points!) and a light switch which I could not reach whilst lying in bed. It was, however, a night spent comfortably.
The breakfast was excellent (though not available until around 8.30am) with a wide variety of foods on offer – probably more than at some rather more expensive hotel buffet breakfasts.

Location was perfect, right where you want to be in Amsterdam. Loved how you could sit on top deck and chill for as long as you wanted so you weren’t spending money all day in the city. Breakfast facilities was always clean and topped up too.
The rooms are basic, but considering what you pay and the location it’s definitely worth it. It’s just a bed to crash in at the end of the day

It is in a very central location, very close to the train station. Good view of the city. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, and adds value to the price. You can use the fridge and microwave in the dining room. Rooms, shared bathrooms and dining area, and really area around the docks were all quite clean. Unique experience staying on a boat.
Rooms really are quite small, as are the beds. Larger size people take note! Can feel a bit claustrophobic! Other guests can get a bit loud as the rooms are very close together. Need to be aware and plan travels accordingly if boat moves!!! Other locations can be quite far away, but you would also have the benefit of a short boat ride through the canals if you stay on board!

Cheap and cheerful. Location was fine, not far to walk into the centre of Amsterdam.
I guess the adage, you get what you pay for.
No issues with check in / check out.
Very basic all around.
the room was very small indeed. The bed was very short & if you are over 1,6m tall, you will likely have a little trouble sleeping inthe bed.
Very noisy, no soundproofing so you can hear every thing from the other guests.
