Welcome to your stay

Welcome aboard The Jordaan Wheelhouse. This is a two bedroom apartment on a historic freight ship. From the wheelhouse you have a panoramic view over the wonderful canals of Amsterdam. 

Explore your stay

The B&B is located in the heart of the Jordaan, at the corner of the Prinsengracht. The Jordaan is a very nice neighbourhood in the city centre close to the Anne Frank House, the famous Nine Streets and approximately a 10/15 minutes walk from Amsterdam Central Station. Close to metro, bus and trams. In the Jordaan you will find a lot of charming restaurants, boutique shops and markets. 

But first let's take a look at the houseboat apartment that you may call your floating home in Amsterdam for a while. The big wheelhouse - with the original wheel still there - is without a doubt a unique and super cozy place to sit back and relax, while the buzzing city life passes by. Have a first cup of coffee and watch the swans, ducks and geese pass by. There are two tables, two chairs and a lounge sofa for ultimate relaxation. In the wheelhouse you have access to a small fridge, coffee maker, cooker and a micro-wave. Note that we don't have a kitchen, but who would seriously consider cooking when you have such an abundance of restaurants around?

In the hull of the ship we offer two charming bedrooms, each with a high-quality double bed. This makes the boat perfect for small families and couples traveling together. Each bedroom has a personal character and is shaped in a unique and charming way, with several nautical elements such as the traditional portholes. 

The tastefully decorated bathroom, with shower, sink and separate toilet, is conveniently situated between the two bedrooms.

Last but not least: know that the whole boat is well insulated and has comfortable central heating. This way you are ensured to be nice and warm, even on the coldest winter nights. 

Please be aware that this is a boat, so the stairs will be quite steep. 

I hope to have given you the best possible impression of our houseboat apartment in the city centre of Amsterdam, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions - always glad to help!

Eliane

My name is Eliane . I am an enthusiastic and social woman who is eager to learn and always looking for a new challenge. When I was 18 years old, I went to live on this beautiful houseboat. And I started this bed and breakfast where you are now.
I have studied ‘Hotel and event management' at the TIO University in Amsterdam. The study fits exactly with the running of this bed and breakfast. And I do the study with a lot of fun. I do this bed and breakfast next to my study and I do it with pleasure. I hope that I can show you the way in Amsterdam.

    Fun way to stay in Amsterdam!

    We really enjoyed our stay on Elaine's houseboat! The boat was clean and very comfortable, it was a really fun way to stay in Amsterdam for an extra long weekend. Elaine was a helpful host with great communication!

    In the middle of AmsterdamShow original

    Four of us arrived by car and parked at the Johan Cruijff Arena, for up to four days at €6 per day, assuming you use a Park & Ride ticket. Metro 54 stops opposite the houseboat at Waterlooplein; it couldn't be more central. A boat is of course not a luxury hotel, but it is much more fun and you are sure to be the envy of the canal cruisers. Amazingly quiet nights contributed to a feeling of well-being. If you go to Amsterdam, then you will definitely stay with Eliane again.

    Really nice boat with an authentic vibe. Wheelhouse is awesome with bad weather especially - you can sit warm and cozy and watch the city.

    Great stay in the Jordaan

    We'll miss being on this wonderful houseboat, watching the birds swim by and living right in the centre of the lively Jordaan area. The exceptional good February weather gave a silver lining to our stay on this floating apartment. The wheelhouse is a real cool place to be and watch the city life go by while you feel like a true local. The beds are comfortable and in the wheelhouse you can sit back and relax with a drink at hand. At least, if you decide not to frequent the bar Thyssen right across the street - a super nice place with a great sunny terrace. And we we had the best lamb ever in an Italian restaurant called Il Fiore, also within 1 minute walking. The place is not huge, but offers great comfort and a unique Amsterdam houseboat experience. Thanks Eliane for having us. We hope to be back one day!
