This distinctive 3-star hotel features accommodations situated on a boat anchored in the River IJ at the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam. The establishment boasts a bar and provides a complimentary ferry service to Amsterdam Central Station every 10 minutes, available twice each hour.

The rooms offer either scenic views of the land or the River IJ. Each room includes a private bathroom and a separate restroom. Guests can start their day with a continental breakfast buffet served each morning.

Visitors can unwind in the bar area while enjoying games of pool or video games. On pleasant days, guests are welcome to relax on the terrace.

The hotel is set in the NDSM Wharf, a former shipyard that has transformed into a vibrant hub for modern activities: festivals, events, art exhibitions, flea markets, restaurants, bars, and innovative architecture.

Amsterdam Central Railway Station provides direct train connections to Schiphol Airport within 15 minutes. Additionally, from the station, tram services are available to both Dam Square and Museum Square, home to the renowned Van Gogh Museum.

Couples have a strong preference for the location — they gave it a rating of 8.8 for a getaway designed for two.
