Mar 25, 2013 - Knowing that the boat is not as spacious as hostels in Amsterdam, it has its own special atmosphere. Breakfast included is perfect to start your day.
Dec 20, 2012 - Very good place to stay for the weekend. Great breakfast which you can enjoy looking outside at the nice views of Amsterdam :). Excellent location. Helpful and friendly staff. I definitely recommend it!
Dec 05, 2012 - Very good location 10mn away from the central station.
Great breakfast.
A bit noisy (you hear every step on the boat) but for a few nights it's perfect
Mar 27, 2012 - Sometimes too much noise at night becose of the other customers...That's the only anoying thing with this hostel.
Mar 26, 2012 - small cabins but exactly what we expected from a boat. Breakfast was really good an by foot its only a few minutes into the city so... Top!
Feb 10, 2012 - At first I didn't know it a boat which was very funny. The hostel is in great location. Not far from a library, central train station and city centre. I hope to visit it again.
Jan 09, 2012 - The boat is an excellent place to stay as it is only a short walk to most of the tourist attractions. The staff is amazing providing help wherever they can and keeping the boat very clean. As it is not a solid house it can be a little bit loud at night. Good breakfast.
Dec 12, 2011 - the boat friesland was very good, the manager was 5 stars, the boat, the breakfast and the ambient too!
the room has one problem, too small but do not forget that we are in a cabin crew boat, and the smell of the canal during the night was terrible, but at the end everything was OK.
Dec 04, 2011 - 6 women aged 25-40 stayed for a city-break. The smell in the front cabins is foul (smelt like sewage) disguised very badly with sensor air freshner. If you want to sleep AT ALL then you had better be the only guests. Cabins are minute and you cannot sit up in bed and can only just about stand and dress one at a time while yr companion waits out In the hall. Breakfast is bread, cheeses and juice. Showers were hot. States no curfew but by 9pm Captain Roy was asking us to be quiet! Although for the stag party staying at the same time this rule was relaxed at 5am when it was ok to be as noisy as you like and congregate above the bedrooms waking everyone up. On the whole we loved Amsterdam but are gutted be did not book Into a hotel or hostel.
Nov 20, 2011 - We loved our stay aboard the Friesland! Good location, near the central station and walkable distance from many attractions. Rooms are very small, just know what you are getting into! But the boat is comfortable and Roy, the captian is wonderful! Gives great suggestions for things to do and is such a welcoming and friendly guy. We had a great time hanging out in the common room and talking to other guests during breakfast (which is good as well!)
