A very nice stay near the hyper center. We could visit all major sites in 2,5 days without spending our time in the transports. The boat is a peace harbour and accounts itself for a full part of the journey. Thanks to Han for kindly providing access to such a unique and nice place.
Wow! What an amazing experience staying on a house boat in Amsterdam! The boat is beautiful inside and Han was an extremely good host. I highly recommend this opportunity. The boat is truly just a short walk from the Central Train Station so youâre in the heart of the city. This experience made Amsterdam so much more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you Han for everything!
eine tolle Unterkunft in super Lage. Von der Anreise bis zur Abreise hat alles perfekt geklappt und der Austausch mit dem Vermieter war ebenfalls super.Danke auch fĂŒr die tollen Tips, wir kommen definitiv wieder!
Ferry (Han's friend/helper) was so kind and welcoming. He helped us carry our bags into the boat and oriented us to living on the boat. He even put some drinks in the fridge to welcome us. He was very responsive to questions. The boat was beautiful. You can see a lot of love went into the craftsmanship. The beds were very comfortable - great mattress toppers meant we slept really well! There was much more room than we expected on a boat - and 2 bathrooms! (One must climb up and down a ladder to get to the kitchen / main bedroom, so if you're not good with ladders, this may not be the place for you. For us, it was part of the adventure.) Loved looking out the window at the canal. Drinking coffee on the deck in the morning was also lovely. Can't say enough nice things about Ferry and Han.
Overall this was a wonderful stay. The houseboat was tidy and offered enough space for our family of four. Hans had great communication and his friend Ferry assisted greatly with our arrival. The location is super close to the train station and had lovely views of Amsterdam.Few things- this is a houseboat. If you are expecting a 5 star hotel then you should get one of those. The bathrooms are small and while there is plenty of living space, there are ladders to climb down and one of the bedrooms is in a port cubby. It's exactly what you would expect staying on one. We are large folks and while it did make some if the experience a little tricky, we understood that was part of the charm. Check in was easy, wifi access was easy and it was very walkable to some of the cool things amsterdam has to offer. We only took two cars- to the Van Gough Museam and the airport. The rest of the stay was VERY walkable, with a grocery store close by as well.
We loved our stay at Hans canal boathouse. Fantastic location and friendly helpful and generous host. The boat is really unique, very clean, well equipped and comfortable with a gorgeous view and lots to look at, boats going by. Great outdoor area. Han had complimentary beer, wine, juice and milk for us in the fridge and specially delivered some stroppewaffels. We highly recommend Hans boathouse and we would book it again. Thank you so much Han.
