I really wish they mentioned either when it was booked that there's loud construction work going on right next to the boat. I was woken up at 7AM by the noise. The room was fun though.

Ok place to stay. In a quiet location with easy access to Amsterdam via the free ferries. Dangerously hot showers though, that should be really be replaced. Expensive for what it is really, but you're paying to stay in Amsterdam I suppose.
