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.
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.
Donât miss this wonderful opportunity to experience the unique boat life in Amsterdam! Han is an amazing host! We loved using the bikes he includes with your stay.
We love staying here whenever we're in Amsterdam! Everything about this boat is perfect! Nothing beats sleeping on the water and waking up to the view every morning. Book it, you won't regret it :)
We enjoyed our stay on the Bamboo Boat. Han was a gracious host and responded to our queries in a timely manner. The Boat was clean and in a great location for access to Central Station and all the districts. Great for exploring. The bonus for us were the bikes. The views from the sun deck and living space were fabulous. Wonderful for kicking back after busy days seeing the sights. The Boat was quiet and peaceful especially at night. The bed comfortable. We had no trouble sleeping! As for cooking on board, we had no plans but for those who do be aware there is no cook top or oven, only a microwave, toaster, kettle and single hot plate - (City ordinance prohibits flammable fuels on board.) All in all a great spot.
Es war ein rundum schöner Aufenthalt.Das Hausboot liegt in einer wirklich schönen Lage direkt am Wasser. Was auch nachts durch die Lichter einen besonderen Flair hatte.Han war ein toller Gastgeber .
The houseboat was conveniently located with great access to all public transport. Han was helpful and very knowledgeable, and we had a great time on the houseboat! The stairs and ladder would be tough for very small children or anyone with mobility issues - my 4 and 6 year olds were delighted and had a wonderful time.
This house boat served us very well. We werenât sure what to expect but Han was informative and helpful. The location was perfect, on the water, close to the train station and we walked all over Amsterdam. We would return if the occasion arose.
Das Hausboot von HAN liegt superzentral und zu Fuà ist man in 5 Minuten mitten im Leben von Amsterdam! Trotzdem hat mal absolute Ruhe auf dem Boot. Ob mit Zug oder PKW liegt das Boot super erreichbar. Seinen PKW kann man im Parkhaus Osterdock einmieten⊠meine MÀdls und ich waren total begeistert und Amsterdam ist ne Reise wert.
