Houseboat Little Amstel

This is a review for Houseboat next to Amstel (as mentioned in this listing for its sister boat Houseboat Little Amstel). The location is 15 minutes to just about everything with great non-touristy restaurants, bakeries, and a grocery just around the corner. Amstel Hotel is just across the bridge and has a lovely high tea. The massage bed was a bonus! Very spacious and comfortable, even in the dead of winter we were warm once we understood the excellent heating system. The bathroom is spacious and the shower was roomy with lots of hot water. Big central closet in the hallway with lots of shelves and two hanging areas, which helped keep the rooms tidy. Lots of windows and light with very effective blackout blinds. Two TVs to keep the family happy on a rainy day. Very clean and I believe it was recently painted. The kitchen has a small set of dishes, set of silverware, a few glasses, microwave oven, and spacious clean refrigerator. Having stayed on boats before, this one was quieter and stiller than most, as long as you are not a light sleeper you will have an excellent night's rest. The outdoor decks are amazing and furnished well, and I bet they are beautiful in the spring as there are plants everywhere (we were there over New Years). It was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 teens and could even hold an additional 2 people for an additional fee by using a murphy bed in the main living room. Don't hesitate to visit Amsterdam in the winter, bundle up and enjoy the city's light festival and other holiday festivities and know you'll have a cozy place to go home to every night!

The houseboat is everything you could wish for. So cosy with stunning views and very close to local attractions. The beds were super comfortable and the house was spotless throughout. Andrew was very helpful, sending apps and recommendations before we travelled which was really useful when planning our trip. Nothing was too much trouble for him, we can’t thank you enough. We would highly recommended this cute little houseboat.

We loved our stay at Little Amstel - Studio A. The studio was clean and very well thought out, with plenty of space and storage for a couple. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the small fridge and coffee pod machine. The view is beautiful both day and night, we spent lots of time sitting on the deck out the front. The location was perfect, a nice walk/bike ride into the city, but far enough away that it was quieter than the hustle and bustle. Andrew was easy and prompt with communication, and kindly organised bicycles for us at late notice. Highly recommend Little Amstel.
