About this property

Renovated B&B houseboat in the centre of Amsterdam

Meet the Prince B&B. This is a self catering B&B houseboat. Location and luxury are what we think of when we see this gorgeous houseboat, located on the famous Prinsengracht, near to the Anne Frank house. It's a stylish and comfortable floating residence in the center of the Jordaan area. Decorated with taste and attention by a professional interior designer. The Prince Royal is the place to be for an unique nautical experience in downtown Amsterdam. You have a direct view on the Prinsengracht and the landmark Westerchurch. The living area is bright and shining, spacious, comfortable and light. The characteristic wooden floor in combination with design furniture gives this area a luxury own identity. There are 2 characteristic bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in the back and front of the ship. The bedrooms are a little lower but that is part of the history and charm of this houseboat. Both the bedrooms have two big double beds with two separate mattresses next to each other (160cm and 180 cm X 200cm), both with a flat screen TV. Romantic and comfortable! The owner, who resides on the boat, values to her privacy and makes sure that your privacy is fully experienced.

Both bathrooms have a towel radiator and under the floor heating. The bright and shining bathrooms offers both a modern sink and shower. Bedlinen and towels are provided.

The outside deck

At the outside point of this former freight ship is a nice terrace with a unique view along the canal. You will find a lovely large terrace, with chairs, cushions and plants. Because it’s wintertime we are not able to make pictures yet, we have to wait until spring. White swans will pass by together with the canal boats. At the other side of the canal you see the Anne Frank house and the famous Westerchurch. A video has been made from the surroundings last year: You are in the middle of historic Amsterdam but because of the water and the impressive historic canal houses around you the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.

The wheelhouse however offers you the best and most exclusive possibility to enjoy the spectacular surrounding of this houseboat. The wheelhouse is reachable from the inside and is higher than the rest of the boat. In this former Captain’s area is a luxury place to sit and enjoy for instance a glass of the free wine from the bar with wine fridge!

Great location
The property was exactly as advertised. There were ladders and low ceilings but nothing to impact our stay. We were 3 sisters over 60 and had no problems. The location was great. The beds were comfortable. The property was clean and it was very quiet at night. I would definitely stay here again. The top room was our favorite place to hang out.

Boathouse entry
I wish we were shown the entryway as it made loading and unloading of luggage difficult. We did not like that the heat was turned to 20 when the boat keeper was there. We were from a warmer climate and it was difficult to keep warm enough until we put it to 22. Also there was a leak in the smaller bedroom. It has been there for a while as the comforter had stained in the spot.

The boat was fab and the location was excellent
The living area and the beds were great and comfortable however beds were only suited for 2 couples really They were originally described as queen beds which could configured separately or as one bed - in fact they were two single beds in a frame sitting together together - space between them was not possible. More clarity over this would have been very helpful in our decision making as three single ladies.

Best location in Amsterdam
This houseboat experience was phenomenal. It was very clean and well kept. The bathrooms were modern. The floor plan is excellent. It is well lit and has plenty of plug ins. It is the best location in the heart of the canal ring to see the sights and get around. The Ann Frank house is directly across the canal from the boat and we sat on the deck enjoying the view and watching the people enjoying themselves on shore and in the canal boats that passed by. I sat in the captain’s room upstairs enjoying peace and quiet. The wi-fi worked seamlessly. The tv connected to most channels and we especially enjoyed Netflix and CNN. However, there were drawbacks you need to be aware of. You cannot stand in one of the two bedrooms so you have to bend over the time you are not in the bed. Also, access to the boat is via a narrow stairway of about 8 steps going down from street level to the living area. If you can get past these two drawbacks, the rest of the experience is fabulous.

Spectacular houseboat in excellent location
The prince royal was excellent- it is stunningly decorated, has excellent levels of cleanliness and is in the heart of Amsterdam and within walking distance of all the places you would want to visit. The host of the boat was very accommodating, friendly and was exceptionally helpful. The boat is peaceful and offers great views of the city. We slept brilliantly and found the boat comfortable for our stay. We have booked again for next year and can’t wait to return.
