The location of hotelboat Sarah could not have been better. Agnes and Romek were great hosts. The breakfast was fine and the availability of tea and coffee 24 hours a day was a lovely touch. We could not fault the facilities on board. The room was small but cozy. We’re definitely return here if we came back to Amsterdam.

It’s a very unique way to stay in Amsterdam, but we enjoyed it a lot! The staff are lovely and welcoming, as was the breakfast and rooms. The rooms were slightly small - but that’s expected for a boat! It was in a great location, perfect for visiting all the great places in the city.

Romick (spelling??) is a very gracious host. He went out his way to make sure we were comfortable. The location is great. Very near many things to do or you can just sit on the deck and enjoy the lovely view. I wish I had more time to spend. Excellent!!!

The staff & owner lived on the boat which we found made it more like visiting friends than a sterile hotel. Speaking directly to the chief insured your eggs were cooked perfectly. Best eggs ever! Very European breakfast buffet with water, coffee & tea available 24 hours and quaint dinning area making it feel like home. Rooms are extremely small, on a boat with basic amenities in the rooms. Not for the handicap having steep steps and size. The location was very safe and one block from the Navel Museum, 15+/- walk to the central rail station and 20 minute walk to the #1 voted French fries in Amsterdam store with 24 dipping sauces. We walked everywhere day and night. Do not know how it works at hotels but we paid extra for the “hotel tax”, was advised at booking, an extra 62 euros at checkout.
