Spent a few days on the Amicitia again last week, and it was a pleasant experience as always :) So central and close to everything you need to be near to in Amsterdam, and the view from the top deck has to be one of the most amazing views of Amsterdam. Merel, who works there, was lovely! Very friendly, really... More

Do not miss staying at AmicitiA. The captain Roy is an absolute pleasure to meet, ensuring that his guests are comfortable and that he gets to know each and everyone of them. Experience sleeping on a boat with cozy cabins. Enjoy the delicious breakfast served every morning. And finally take in the breathtaking views of the water from atop the... More

Okay: first of all, if you like quiet seclusion, plenty of space, don't like steep stairs, or have large suitcases, forget this place. The two-berth cabins are VERY small (it's a boat, Guys) and it's almost impossible to share the living space unless one of you is either down in the shower or toilet, or already in bed. Likewise, the... More

My wife and I spent three days on the Amicitia in Amsterdam. On the down side the room was tiny, however, Roy took great care of us, the view was the best in Amsterdam, and the location can not be beat. My wife and I are very hot sleepers, but we discovered by propping the door just a bit the... More

I stayed on the Friesland boat last summer, for one night. I wanted a cheap weekend away with a friend, & we didn't want a cut price chain hotel, We like quirky individual places and this is definitely that! The staff were very friendly and helpful. This lovely boat ticked most boxes, Good location, very good value, good breakfast, Comfy... More

It's a great place to stay in Amsterdam. It's true that the bedrooms are very small but for the price, location and free breakfast, we can all make an effort. Great breakfast, nice staff, always helpful. It's an interesting place cause it's a boat! I loved the experience, but one thing is sure: if you like spacious place, don't book... More

Stay on one of these river boat hotels for something fun and different in Amsterdam. Lots of atmosphere right in the heart of the city for a tiny price. Warm room, okay breakfast, what more do you need?

We stayed here very recently for 4 nights and found the setting amazing, very handy for Central and easy to find which is a boon in Amsterdam. The staff were really helpful and let us stow our bags for a full day before our flight. The lounge area is great for having a drink and enjoying the amazing view of... More

We stayed on the AmicitiA boat-hotel for two days and loved the welcome we got on arrival, the total cleanliness of the boat, the great breakfast and the warmth (it was a cold two days in Amsterdam). The location is perfect, about ten minute walk from Central Station, right by Nemo. Yes the room was small but what would you... More

I surely recommend you staying on this boat. I was there in the last week of September. We booked a room with 3 beds, and we got a one with 4 beds. The cabins are really small (they said to us that our room was the smallest), but you have to keep in mind that you are on a boat.... More
