Houseboat Little Amstel

This houseboat might be the coolest place to stay in Amsterdam. Okay, it's compact... but, it's spotless, with everything you need. It's the location that will make you smile. Right on the water, exceptionally quiet, day and night. An oasis in the city. Communication with Andrew is very good. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else next time I visit the city. First class 👍

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.

Absolutely loved our stay on the boat, beautiful location with a beautiful view from inside, lovely being able to sit out on the decking in the evenings. Not too noisy, nice and warm. Love the mini fridge and the coffee machine. I absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return. The decking with the backdrop and the lights made for a perfect setting to propose to my girlfriend and we have had the best trip. The ONLY thing I have to say is that on our first day we were laying down and having a cuddle and the owner just unlocked our door and came walking straight in without knocking or anything and we didn’t really like that as didn’t feel very private then but she was really polite and other than that our stay was perfect and we will return and recommend

1st time traveler's to Amsterdam and will definitely be back. Stayed studio B houseboat and it was brilliant. Andrew the host always contactable and great service. Even set up a small birthday surprise for our arrival. Houseboat is small and cosy and the views are beyond lovely. Easy access to the travel links and you are never short anything to do or see. Houseboat clean, tidy and just stunning. Will definitely book with Andrew again amd recommend to my friends. Until we meet again Amsterdam :)

Lovely stay on LittleAmstel, would highly recommend to any couple wanting to stay for a few days in Amsterdam. Great location and well appointed unit of accommodation. Would stay agajn

The perfect place for a short city break, feels private even though you share the outdoor area with a couple others. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!

My daughter and I spent 2 nights in the houseboat Little Amstel. We wanted something different and we were really delighted. The boat was clean and considering how compact it was, very well organised and supplied. The shower was great and the coffee machine easy to use. I enjoyed sitting in the deck in the morning with a coffee with the sun on my face watching the water. Bliss! The walls were fairly thin and it was easy to hear our next door guests as they arrived later in the night. Be aware that Amsterdam is a lively city and there will be people going by; either in boats or on foot over the nearby bridge from their night out. It didn’t bother us at all, but be aware it’s not completely silent. Thank you for your kind help with our luggage. We will recommend your little boat to all our friends.

Location is great....very unique setting. Problem that we had is that the small room has no ventilation unless you want to keep the doors open while you sleep at night. Obvious security issues. There are no windows that you can open. The owners state that the air conditioner will turn on automatically once the air temperature gets high in the room so the occupants don't have to worry about turning it off.....this is environmentally responsible. When we stayed there for two nights the room was hot and stuffy. Contacted the owner and he agreed to turn on the air conditioner remotely(his computer) for a few hours the first night. The second night I had to email him to turn on the air conditioner again because it was extremely uncomfortable in the room again. He did this but for only a short amount of time. We woke up in the middle of the night hot and sweaty and had to open the doors to the tiny room. Unless I'm missing something with the Amsterdam City regulations about running an air conditioner overnight with rental properties this is unacceptable. The owner is in the tourism industry. His clients are using jet aircraft to fly in from all around the world causing so called world carbon emissions to go up and he is using the "environmental card" so he can save a few bucks on not running an air conditioner overnight. It would be so simple to make the stay perfect.....have a control in the room for the air conditioner. I dont recommend staying here until this is fixed.

The houseboat is all we needed and more for our stay. Short Uber ride from Schiphol airport. Coffee, microwave, refrigerator, close to Albert Cuyp market. Super views of the canal, especially in the morning. Lots of visits from the local birds!
