Dana is a great host and the location is spectacular if you want to tour the Jordan or be close to the Centraal station.We previously lived on our own small boat so were prepared for the continuous motion and the up an down on the ladder.
This is not your run of the mill accommodation. If youâre looking for something different from hotels in a great location, this is it. I think of all the places Iâve rented over the years all over the world, this is in my top 3. The owner Margriet is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again if I return to Amsterdam.
We had such an Amazing time staying here! The boat is absolutely beautiful, super comfortable and clean! It's in the perfect location and Dana was so kind and helpful! We hope we can come back and stay here again!!!
We had a great stay on the houseboat - highly recommend to anyone considering! Dana was a wonderful host - very easy to communicate with, thoughtful, generous, and very interesting to chat with. She is very knowledgeable about the area and has great suggestions as well as insights on local history. The boat is more well connected to the city center than you'd expect (a short bus ride from the central station and multiple bus options). If we ever visit again we'd definitely stay here again!
It was a perfect location and Dana was a joy to meet and beyond kind to me and my partner. We had no trouble with sea sickness and everything was a 20 minute walk away. We loved the view, the location, and the boat itself and would stay again if given the chance.
This house boat is what dreams are made of. Clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable; I don't think I've ever slept so well. Dana is an absolute gem and incredibly helpful. Would absolutely stay here again!
Wonderful views from the boat on a quiet dock. The host was very accommodating and responsive to questions. Proximity to ferries was nice and we enjoyed the experience of staying on a boat in Amsterdam.
My husband and I stayed for several days and it was a perfect adventure. We wanted something other than another hotel stay and we got it! Very cozy, well appointed, and a great location. Between the ferries (5 min walk) and the train station (20 min walk), we had everything we needed to get around. Host was incredibly helpful in sharing information. Would absolutely stay again.
We had the pleasure of staying at Houseboat Dana for a long weekend. Not only was it cosy, clean and comfortable, but the location was also close to tram/ ferry stops. Dana was the most generous and helpful host weâve ever had. Highly recommend if youâre looking for a romantic weekend in Amsterdam.
We stayed here to visit Amsterdam for 2.5 days & we could not have been more pleased! the location was incredible, very different than normal hotels - which made it even better! The owner was the best part; she was so helpful, pleasant & I wish I could have stayed longer just to hang out with her! We arenât people that like to do the same experience 2x, but we would do this again in a heartbeat!
Very fun experience on the houseboat we loved the perch up top for sipping wine and chatting/napping under the sun/rainy sky one day it was so very relaxing. The free ferry is a quick walk away to get into central Amsterdam.
This was a very fun and special stay on a houseboat!
The owner of the boat made this experience exceptional. The boat is very clean, well equipped and pleasant to stay on. I was worried about it being heated- it was warm! Plenty of hot water in the shower as well. I enjoyed sleeping in wheelhouse- it poured rain one night and I loved hearing that. My husband preferred the sleeping quarters below as it was more quiet . We really enjoyed meeting Dana- sheâs charming!!!
My daughter and I had the best time. The houseboat is super cozy and so beautiful. We had a bit of a bad luck with the weather but staying on the houseboat made it so much more fun as you could stay up in the captains quarters and enjoy a beautiful view instead of being stuck in a hotel room. My daughter got bad cold and Dana was so helpful providing us with medicine, honey, herbs and tea. The bed was very comfortable and everything was super clean. The location was great as you are not in the midst of everything but still only a couple of bus stops away from the hustle and bustle. We slept so well since the bed was very comfortable and there was literally no noise from outside as there is no street going by. The kitchen and fridge are awesome as you donât have to spent tons of money eating out but if you feel like it there are some good options in walking distance like a Thai place or a Turkish place and a great grocery store as well. I would definelty book another stay here! 100%!!!
Griet's ship is wonderful located, on the verge of the centrum. So you can reach the city quite easy and simple by foot. Simultaneously it's possible to enjoy the loneliness, silence and relaxation at the ship and it's environment. The apartment is - in respect of the exceptional offer of such a ship, this reconsidering - complete suitable.
The landlady also live in this ship. She is very nice, adjuvant and regardful, she's a really open, pleasant communicative and tolerant, liberal person. Thank you, Griet, that we could have been your guest. Always a pleasure!
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt auf dem Hausboot! Das Ambiente war einfach einzigartig und die ruhige Lage hat perfekt zur Entspannung beigetragen. Die Sauberkeit war hervorragend und die NĂ€he zur Stadt war ein weiterer Pluspunkt. Der Kontakt zur Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir wĂŒrden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen! Absolute Empfehlung!
Sehr schön. Die Lage und der Ausblick war unglaublich schön. Als letztes Boot am Steg eine super Aussicht auf die Lichter des Hafens bei Nacht zu genieĂen war sehr romantisch und etwas ganz besonderes.
Sehr nette Gastgeberin und perfektes Wetter.
Danaâs boathouse is perfectly situated, close to Amsterdam Central Station and the city centre. Well equipped, if you want to eat small meals on the boat and enjoy the wonderful view of the canal. Dana is a very nice person and available for your questions and needs. I recommend!
