  Liked: We can’t say enough about this beautiful houseboat! Every little detail is considered and provided. It is ideally located (for sightseeing, people/canal watching, shopping and more), immaculately clean, so cozy snd comfortable with the most comfortable beds ever, yummy soft towels, a perfectly stocked kitchen…I could go on and on! We are counting the days until we return!!

  Truly excellent. Worth the money

  Liked: Amazing and unique experience. Truly a trip highlight. The boat is amazing in every respect. We were a family of 4 and kids slept in same bed.

  Disliked: The deck is open to the street and can be accessed by anyone. The church down the road seems to ring its bells all hours of the night.

  Authentic amsterdam experience

  Liked: Staying on a houseboat really added to our Amsterdam experience. We loved watching all the activity on the canals. Great location in the Jordaan area and super comfortable house boat.

  Disliked: The second bedroom has a very low roof but that is part of the authentic houseboat experience.

  Unique experience in Amasterdam

  Liked: A very unique experience to be able to stay on a houseboat in Amasterdam. Very spacious with plenty of room to move around. It actually feels like a home. Other reviews mention the church bell noise, the boat cruises across at Ann Frank, we did not find that as an issue at all. There is also a outdoor terrance, perfect for an afternoon tea even on cold winter days.

  Disliked: The boat is a bit out of the way but all within 1km walking distance to tram, supermarket etc.

  Overall it is one of the most memorable stays I have had and I very much look forward to returning!

  Liked: This was an amazing experience - so unique! We had such a wonderful stay at the Prince Royal. It was so spacious and clean! The very large beds (truly king sized according to North American standards) was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. My friend and I slept under the top cabin, and the other two slept in the bedroom at the other far end. Lots of privacy if you are two couples. Also, with two bathrooms (toilet, sink, shower), the 4 of us had plenty of space and time to get ready in the morning and there was plenty of hot water. Our favorite part was sitting in the "top cabin" at night, lights on but dimmed, with a glass or two of wine, waving at passing boats and watching people walk by. The location cannot be beat - directly across the canal was the Anne Frank House (also a must see) and a beautiful church with bells that rang on the hour - so charming. Shopping was plentiful, we walked everywhere we wanted to go, a supermarket was nearby - we really did not have one need that we couldn't meet during this stay. Rachel was very responsive to texts and questions, and provided short videos to explain how to do things - like unlocking the "hatch", how to work the heating, etc. VERY helpful! I was a bit concerned with being cold, but the heat was good - we did bring the spare blankets up to the lookout spot every night but the rest of the living and sleeping space was wonderfully warm and cozy. Getting in is more like using a ladder (a short one) as is getting to the top cabin/lookout space. It might not be for you if you have mobility issues.

  Disliked: We had to be mindful of the small step as we moved from the bedroom to the main space (maybe a small dim light here would be helpful especially in the middle of the night). This was minor. There was nothing that I did not enjoy about this stay!
