Unique Experience: living on water

“Amsterdam Hotelboat is a unique stay in the heart of the city, albeit one where space is at a premium. I found the central location appealing, though some may find the overall experience lacking a certain something; I think some small touches, like readily available coffee, could elevate the stay.”

The breakfast included fresh and local items. I particularly enjoyed the sausages. The staff was friendly and helpful. We left our baggage in the luggage room after check-out until evening.
The noise of doors slamming shut at night was a bit loud (bring earplugs!).

The location was good (it was close to everything). Breakfast was included.
The room was REALLY small. When I used the toilet, the door would not close. I felt VERY claustrophobic.
