We stayed in the letter B, we enjoyed everything about it! It was clean, it was very very comfortable, and easily accessible due to the free regular ferry! The skateboards were a cool extra, we just used it as base mainly as we were out alot but was great and would stay again!
The only negatives I could think of is they provided tea and coffee etc but no milk but we could have easily got some if we was planning to be back there for a longer period than we was. And it said there was a games console and TV on middle floor but that wasn't there when we was there, however that didn't affect us in any way as we wasn't there for that! We lived absolutely everything

The reception staff's behavior during check-in and check-out was exceptionally friendly. It's highly recommended to make reservations through Booking; otherwise, securing a room directly might be challenging. We followed this advice and were able to get a room on the spot, thanks to their guidance. The hotel's proximity to the central train station made commuting convenient, especially with the frequent ferry service to the central station every ten minutes. We had a fantastic view of the canal, which added to the charm of our stay. One of the highlights was the snooker table on the ground floor and the bar area, providing us with enjoyable moments. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay at this hotel."
However, it's worth noting that the rooms lacked sound insulation, and we could occasionally hear noises from adjacent rooms. Although smoking is prohibited in the rooms, there were instances where we could detect cigarette odors.

Well, staying on a ship was a special experience. The main deck was nicely decorated and pleasant to spend time at. Don't worry about the location, the ferries are nearby, free and offer a unique experience - you start off every day by crossing IJ (well unless you choose to stay north)!
It would be nice if there would be a shared kitchen for people looking for a more traditional hostel stay. The price is definitely more on the expensive side, there weren't many people at the beginning of November staying in the 8 bed dormitory.

Fantastic location and a fun experience to stay on a boat in the heart of the city. Very easy to get to from the ferry, and the main areas are very nicely done. We had a room on the waterline which was fun, very basic, just two bunks and a (very small!) bathroom but it was perfect for what we needed. Breakfast was good and the staff helpful.
Bottom bunk is a little cramped in that it is too low to sit up under, bathroom is very small (was ok for us but if you were a bigger person it might be tricky). I would have appreciated a kettle for tea/coffee in the room. Room size is small (boat cabin!) which again was ok for us as we travel list but if you had a lot of luggage it might be tricky.

We liked the fact that the hotel is on an island away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Also the fact there's a free public service ferry running until 2.30am to get you across from Central Station. There are also 2 lovely Bars/Restaurants on the island which are very easy accessible from the botel. We arrived at 10am and they had a luggage room where they held our luggage until we were able to check in.
Even though the reception was open 24 hours the bar still closed at midnight. It would be nice to have it open a little later. This is the only minor thing not to like.

a small room with tiny toilet/sink/shower room. a comfortable bed for 2 right next to a window with the.river immediately outside, and a nearby view of the ferry terminal. getting there from main city (centraal station) requires a short, free ferry ride, which remained fun for the 3 nights we stayed. clean room where everything worked (tho the water was very hot and tedious to adjust in the shower).
the hotel was being rennovated, so the hallway was work in progress and a bit hard to navigate. the common space of the hotel was under reconstruction, so breakfast (paid separately) and bar were in a nearby sailing vessel. All this actually little bother, and should be completed soon.

everybody complained about renovation and noise last comments on booking. we almost not choose this hotel. are you crazy? i mean what they are expect from a hotel in Amsterdam! first of all we didnt be disturbed not noise. its so easy to go to hotel and also so fun. its direct ferry from center to hotel just 8-10minutes. We stayed with baby 1.5year. the room was in minus 1. room was clean and has towels sheets glass shampoo soap. we had sea view. in the morning when we opened the curten we saw seagull, swan. we gave bread to them from window. its so nice. I was a bit nerves about stairs but our baby was so happy to go up from stairs to bed. she played a lot and we had some free time for ourself. she get bored before normal hotel rooms. Also the room was hot, you can arrange temperatur of the room. shower also has hot water. the other thing is the comment says shower is small. come on, its cosept hotel and a SHIP. dont stay in a ship then. staff was also kind and helpfull. they changed towels and shits everyday. and they cleaned the room everyday. we stayed so cheap, compare to other hotels in Amsterdam. we didnt have any problem. when the renovation finish, you cant stay with this money.

We loved this stay! I saw bad reviews but I have no idea why?! The boat is so cool and has a bar and hang out area with pool tables etc. our room was spacious, bed was comfy. You can get the ferry over and it’s free! It runs until about 2am I think. The area around hotel was also cool. A big artistist hall and graffiti museum. Wifi was good. Easy to get luggage to it.
No aircon, but goood breeze so we didn’t get hot. We loved everything else!

The breakfast was lovely and fresh with plenty to choice from - hot bacon, eggs and beans or cold cuts, salad fruit and yoghurt, pastries and coffee. Rooms were fresh and clean, as was the rest of the Botel, really impressed with it. Location was lovely, ten minutes free ferry from Amsterdam central which was no hassle to get. Superb
Maybe coffee and tea facilities in the room? However this is a minor thing as nothing else came to mind. There is a supermarket two minutes away that does coffee or even at the bar. So I’m being picky!

It is really fun as a concept, great ambiance. Very clean and nice bathrooms and showers, and all textile. Intelligently made shelf and lamp by the bunk bed. The bed is comfy. Sweet personnel. The ferry just beside the hotel. Cool street art area and museum nearby.
1st floor of the bunk bed felt low. My suitcase (medium sized) didn’t fit under the bed (at all other hostels it did). Some basic soap in the shower/bathroom could be a great addition.
