5. The Amsterdam boat Zaandam

Zaandam

"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

7. Charming Tiny Houseboat Escape Near Amsterdam by Weltevreden Experience

Kortenhoef

"Schönes gemütliches Hausboot in einer kleinen Marina. Einrichtung war alles da was man braucht - sogar WLAN und zwei Fernseher. Bett war frisch überzogen und Handtücher lagen ebenfalls bereit. Wasser wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt. Am Tag der Anreise habe ich morgens die Nachricht bekommen mit Adresse und einem Schlüsselcode. Völlig unkompliziert. Eigentlich ruhig gelegen - aber gegenüber der Marina geht eine Landstraße vorbei , ab und zu hört man mal ein Auto. Alles in allem eine coole...

10. Luxurious wellness houseboat - Sailors Suite

Amsterdam City Centre

"Great overall experience. It is situated in a calm area but close to all you could want to do as a tourist. We walked everywhere. Sitting on the deck for coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening is great - you get see the boats and also the cute ducks. The bed and sofa are very comfortable. Very clean and all we needed was provided. A little tricky to get on and off with luggage but on arrival we did get help. Something to consider if you have mobility issues."

Monnickendam

"We certainly enjoyed our stay at the houseboat. Monnickendam is a cute little town with a nice market, shops and restaurants. Just a 10 minutes walk to the bus stop into Amsterdam - very convenient. On the houseboat you find everything you need. Perfect spot in the evening is on the rooftop. Our host provided us with a very warm welcome. Communication was easy and very pleasant. Getting used to the dry toilet is a little challenge - there are „normal“ toilets in the main building."

Top Netherlands Hotel Reviews

Bastion Hotel Amsterdam Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, nice rooms, and an excellent location from the airport!"

Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam

8/10 Good

"We were a bit surprised by the stairs in our room which separated the bathroom from the sleeping area. A bit tricky using the bathroom in the middle of the night. It would have been helpful knowing this in advance. We also opted out of housekeeping for our 2 day stay and received a 10 euro food voucher. If I were to return I would take the housekeeping service. We ran out of liquid hand soap before the end of the 2 days- which was attached to the wall. We also ran out of tissues. If the hotel is promoting the program, they should ensure there are adequate supplies for the guests. We ordered clean towels and tissues on our 2nd day. The hotel is located in an excellent area close to the train, restaurants, and shopping. They stored our luggage after check out which was helpful."

Volkshotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great 2-night stay at the Volkshotel. The staff were always pleasant and very helpful. The ground-floor cafe was nice and very convenient. (Good to know: When we were there, on weekends, the hotel restaurant and cafe only opened for breakfast at 8 a.m. It seems to be an Amsterdam thing as nothing close by was open either.) Because we were heading out on an excursion, we found a place open for coffee closer to our excursion meeting point. I also liked the location of the hotel. It is in an interesting neighbourhood and within easy reach of the metro. When I made our booking I was a little concerned that we would be older than the usual clientele, but I needn’t have worried. The hotel staff make sure all feel welcome. And bonus! We were offered a free upgrade from a cabin to a room with a bathroom. Very nice!"
