The Jordaan Wheelhouse - 2 BR - Sleeps 4

We enjoyed the magnificent view of the Amstel and of Amsterdam. Having to step over a first barge was not a problem for us. We occupied the half barge with the cabin. The rooms were comfortable as well as the bedding. We liked that there was a coffee maker and tea maker. Very nice experience. We did not like the presence of some litter from cans when we arrived on the pontoon.

We had a great visit on the houseboat! Travelled with our 5-year-old son, who loved having his own room under the couch. Views were incredible. Loved seeing the constant boat traffic and spending time out on the back deck. The boat is slightly rustic without a lot of extra comforts, but the beds were cozy, and we had all we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. Having stayed on a number of vessels around Amsterdam over the years, we were looking forward to staying in the area. The location didn’t disappoint. Overall, the vessel was cozy, if in need of a little more thought for visitors (places to hang coats, towels) and cleanliness. For the cost and location it’s definitely worth a visit.

Our family stayed in this cute houseboat for a few nights at the tail end of a 10 day trip around the Netherlands. It was such a fun experience - we LOVED the location - quiet at night but right near everything - the train station, the main areas we wanted to explore, everything. My daughters loved the "hidden" bedroom and it was surprisingly spacious enough for all of us. Our favorite part was sitting on the boat deck, enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine, and watching all the action on the canals and roads nearby. The bathroom/shower area is a bit tight and not very private, but worked just fine for our family. The only other small issue (not a big deal) was that the boat has a second apartment on it where the owners live, and it was very easy to hear them (and I assume for them to hear us) so it felt a little awkward sometimes, but a white noise app on our phone at night solved it. Would definitely recommend for a completely fun and memorable Amsterdam experience.

We had a lovely stay in the small houseboat with lots of character. It was really clean and the location in the second row was perfect, so you weren't right on the street. The beds were very comfortable. It's obviously more for younger people, as the boat has very steep stairs etc. - that didn't bother us at all. The check-in option with the key box is also great. The kitchen had everything you need. And the bathroom situation is very easy to manage if you get used to it! Eliane was super quick to respond to questions! Thank you :)
