A wonderful houseboat for two couples or even a large family with children. Unbeatable location directly across from the Anne Frank House. Very clean and well-appointed with all of the amenities that anyone would need (except for a microwave).

One of my all-time favorite locations to simply sit and watch citizens from all about the world converge in happiness and common purpose - and all from the uniquecomfort of your own house (boat). Couldn't recommend more.mix it up a little bit more when they travel

Amazing!

This house boat is awesome! One note would that the ceilings in the bedrooms were lower than expected.. however once you got used to it, it added to the charm of staying on a house boat in the heart of Amsterdam. Host was more than communicative.

Location, location, location & Comfort too!

Two 65 couples for four nights. We found the location to be perfect for sightseeing and dining. The houseboat is anchored directly across the canal from the Anne Frank house and museum. There is a nice market close by for essentials, although our hostess provided a nice bottle of vino and some coffee to get us started. Bedding was great and beds comfy. The bathrooms were very clean and functioned well. The kitchen and living area was lovely and a great place to relax between outings. There is a charming converted wheelhouse reached by a wide ladder where we took our wine and cheese up every afternoon. It was fun to watch all the boat traffic on the canal as people cued up to enter the museum. There was a helpful guide to restaurants only 5 to 10 mins away. We loved Cocina Mexicana Rosario!

We loved this stay! Such a fun and vibrant location! The houseboat was immaculate and had everything we needed. The “Captain’s Nest” was an unexpected bonus and we used it daily. So fun to watch the crowds waiting for their boat tours and the other various boats go by. Very comfortable beds, too.

Perfect place to meet up with friends

We stayed on board the Prince Royal with friends. We all enjoyed separate space (2 separate bedroom/bathroom spaces) but a large living room and kitchen to share some good times. Although our weather was a little cooler than we had planned, we also enjoyed the deck area.

Amsterdam boathouse magic

The boathouse is very comfortable, clean and spacious. The bedrooms have very low ceilings so if you are tall, this may be an issue for you. The location of the boathouse is fantastic and we enjoyed afternoons sitting on the deck and watching the world go by.

Perfect Amsterdam Vacation Stay

The boat is perfectly located in the Jordaan with both indoor and outdoor seating areas to enjoy the view along the canal. The boat was clean and had everything we needed. The beds and sitting area were very comfortable. The hosts were very communicative leading up to the stay and check in was a breeze. Our family of four couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our time in Amsterdam. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Amazing Location and Unique Experience!

When planning our trip to Amsterdam, I saw this wonderful canal boat as an option and was so pleased with the outcome. We had an amazing stay on the canal boat from the ease of check in to the cleanliness of the place to the comfort of the beds. Sadly, our flight was delayed by a day so we missed an entire day of our stay, but while we were there we enjoyed the comfort and convenience that this boat had to offer. We had tickets to the Ann Frank museum and the canal boat is literally across the canal from it. It is truly in the heart of everything and extremely walkable to restaurants and sights. Our host was very accessible and provided great recommendations to restaurants. When booking, one must remember that this is a canal boat. One of the bedrooms ceiling height is only 4 feet; however, we put our teenage kids in there and we took the other bedroom with normal ceiling height. The beds were so comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and decent size. Not what I would have expected on a boat. I can't recommend this boat enough for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Amsterdam.

Great location

The property was exactly as advertised. There were ladders and low ceilings but nothing to impact our stay. We were 3 sisters over 60 and had no problems. The location was great. The beds were comfortable. The property was clean and it was very quiet at night. I would definitely stay here again. The top room was our favorite place to hang out.

Spectacular houseboat in excellent location

The prince royal was excellent- it is stunningly decorated, has excellent levels of cleanliness and is in the heart of Amsterdam and within walking distance of all the places you would want to visit. The host of the boat was very accommodating, friendly and was exceptionally helpful. The boat is peaceful and offers great views of the city. We slept brilliantly and found the boat comfortable for our stay. We have booked again for next year and can’t wait to return.
