The comfort of the boat hotel was not very good, and there was some noise from boat itself during our stay. Breakfast is normally served at 9 a.m., but since we had to check out early at 6 a.m., the host did not arranged breakfast for us in advance.

Reviewed Dec 8, 2025De ligging is ideaal.
Er staat in dat men dagelijks schoonmaakt. De keuken ja,….. De kajuiten zijn in twee dagen niet schoongemaakt. Je krijgt 1 badhanddoek en 1 gewone handdoek. Kajuit wordt niet opgepoetst en het bed wordt niet proper gelegd. Wij vonden het niet hygiënisch. Gratis fruitsappen werden niet bijgevuld, de bloemen stonden rottend op de tafels. De leefruimte was iets netjes, maar de rest,….. dikke tegenvaller

Reviewed Dec 3, 2025Very cozy, squaeky clean and located right in the center of town. Best alternative to super expensive or cheap &dodgy accommodation in town. The breakfast buffet is is complete with salty and sweet options and generally fresh and inviting. Frank is very friendly and hospitable.
The only thing I was missing was more plugs ion the cabin to charge electronics.

Reviewed Dec 2, 2025La ubicación, a 15 minutos andando de la estación central. El barco está muy cuidado, la habitación es pequeña pero muy bien aprovechada, cama cómoda, buen nórdico y almohada. El desayuno es bastante variado, todo está bien presentado. Frank es encantador, hace que te sientas muy cómodo. Tiene a cualquier hora café, zumo, agua, galletitas o fruta a disposición de los clientes. Pone muy buena música en el salón. Un acierto, nos encantó.
Todo bien, la verdad.

Reviewed Nov 18, 2025Foi uma experiência singular. Tudo muito lindo e aconchegante em dias frios de Novembro. Ser recebidos tão calorosamente pela Daianne que fala portugues e é muito amável. Deixou-nos super à vontade e até nos deixou escolher horário do café da manhã antes do Check-out por sermos os únicos naquela manhã. Chegar com frio e ter chá e café à vontade, musica ambiente e uma vista fabulosa. A esplanada no topo do barco para tomar um vinho é maravilhoso, se a meteorologia permitir. Voltaremos, com certeza com menos frio e com mais tempo para usufruir mais. Super recomendo...
Não há nada que nao tenha gostado. Sem comparação com um hotel normal. Só o horário do café da manhã ser às 9:00 am. Deveria ser no mínimo a partir das 7:30.

Reviewed Nov 17, 2025I like my cabin as it was twin-bedded with ensuite bath and very comfy. Breakfast was simple light spread of mostly bread, slices of salami, ham and Dutch delights with cereals too.
Nothing to not like as I was out the entire day and back to my cabin late evening.
