We loved staying at the lightship. Alex and Natalie were so lovely and got gluten and dairy free breakfast for me even though i told them on very short notice. The room design was very special and detailed and the bed was so cozy. Within a 10 minute walk to the ferry (which is free and operates 24/7) you can reach the city center very easily. Would definitely recommend!

Every nook and cranny was clean, information sheet was helpful, coffee supplies, refrigerator, and sweet touches like flowers and extra blankets and towels!

    This houseboat stay was so lovely. Koen and Olivia were very helpful and arranging a time to check in was easy. The little touches like local beers in the fridge or umbrellas to borrow were great extras. The houseboat is easily reachable from the city centre by bus or tram, but also not that far to walk. The houseboat was so clean, comfortable and perfect for a couple of nights. We loved being on the water and feeling like we got a real Amsterdam experience.
