Houseboat summary
Beagle Family Houseboat is a rusty old two-storey houseboat located about 3 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station. This houseboat has just one guestroom and offers accommodation for max. 4 persons (please note that you can not stay with more than 4 persons). Beagle Family Houseboat is a budget accomodation; the ship is old and facilities are basic so do not expect luxury but all the more a laid-back atmosphere and a authentic place to enjoy and explore everything that Amsterdam has to offer. Smoking is allowed !
Houseboat description
The room is located on the top floor of the ship in the former saloon and old wheelhouse. It has many large windows and offers unique views over the dock, towards the Old City, Central Station and many more...
In the room there are two comfortable bunk beds, large couches, a small sound system, Internet computer and a laid-back atmosphere to chill out.
Smoking is allowed !
On the top floor you will also find a small kitchen and basic toilet/shower facility.
In the kitchen you can prepare breakfast or small meals. Do-it-yourself-coffee, tea, some snacks, drinks and other basics are provided for free. Tap water is drinkable.
There is a hot shower (with great views over the dock) and the ship is centrally heated. Towels, soap and shampoo are provided (for free).
Finally the rear deck where you can hang out if the weather is nice. Be close to the water and enjoy the view! (Please do not disturb the neighbours)

Your captain lives on the bottom floor of the ship. Most of the time you won't even notice me as I am very busy, in general.

How to get there
Coming from the main entrance/exit of Central Station, turn left and walk towards the Grand Hotel Amrath on Prins Hendrikkade 108. Cross the road here and walk toward the ships. Hendrik's Cow Ferry is on the first pier, second ship on the right.
About the area
Our houseboat is docked in one of the oldest harbors in Amsterdam. Although it is very centrally located, the area is really laid back and surprisingly quiet at night (please keep it that way;-)).
Within a few minutes walking you reach the Red Light District, Central Station and the Nieuwmarkt, as well as the Dam Square and the ferry to the North side of town.
