2 Houseboat Suites Amsterdam — Hotel in Amsterdam

We spent three nights at this property in September 2023. The room is small-ish (as expected) but really nice and clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the boat and neighborhood felt very secure and safe.

The experience of staying in a houseboat on an Amsterdam canal was unique and very fun. We enjoyed watching boats pass and feeding water birds right from our window. The property is centrally located - in the midst of everything - and we easily walked everywhere we wanted to go. We walked many miles in Amsterdam, but that was by choice because there is so much to see, and (except for the days we arrived and left) we never used a taxi, Uber or public transportation during our stay.

Our host Susan was so kind and helpful, both before and during our stay. She was very communicative and provided lots of good information and recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We especially loved the pizza and Thai restaurants on the long list of nearby restaurants she recommended.

If we return to Amsterdam, we will be happy to stay at this property again. It really...

My husband and I wanted to do something different on our trip to Amsterdam rather than a typical hotel or rental. We found 2 House Boats and decided to book. We were not disappointed! The hosts were incredible and answered all of our questions. They were communicative throughout the payment process and while we were staying on the boat. The rooms are not large but were the perfect size for us. They were modern and clean with everything you need. We originally thought we would not spend much time on the boat as we'd go out and walk around, but we actually found ourselves spending quite some time sitting by the big open windows and watching as all the boats came by the canal. It was great people watching and very relaxing. At night the water was calming and with the windows closed there was barely any noise. We would absolutely recommend a stay with 2 House Boats if you are looking for a unique experience while visiting Amsterdam. There was so much to love about...

Susan is the perfect host and her houseboat is perfectly located (literally epicenter of the major attractions) and clean and comfortable inside - the bed and pillows were so very nice, bathroom well outfitted and modern, coffee/tea setups fine. Head out north one day, then south, then east/west: the location minimized need for backtracking. I've been to Amsterdam a few times but have never had such a wonderful experience: the location, the boat, watching the boats float by on the canal and the bicycles crossing the bridge (great views from the boat!), wonderful food very near, a great grocer just steps away, and a very low-key-good-vibed-and-friendly Coffeeshop (for those inclined). We were in a quiet and safe neighborhood, all in all a very comfortable and fun adventure. I hope to return, don't think I could stay anywhere else, totally spoiled. Here are a few pics taken from inside the boat.. the swan (and ducks) liked to come by to share our...
