This houseboat is an experience you must have in Amsterdam! The location was amazing with proximity to great food, and things to do in Amsterdam. The boat was very clean, and we would stay there again!

Wonderful houseboat and unbeatable location

A wonderful houseboat for two couples or even a large family with children. Unbeatable location directly across from the Anne Frank House. Very clean and well-appointed with all of the amenities that anyone would need (except for a microwave).

Amsterdam April 2025

We loved our 3 day stay on the Prince Royal houseboat in Amsterdam. Rachell was an awesome host. Superb location near all major sights all within walking range. Just don’t get hit by a bicycle!

A fine perch

One of my all-time favorite locations to simply sit and watch citizens from all about the world converge in happiness and common purpose - and all from the uniquecomfort of your own house (boat). Couldn't recommend more.mix it up a little bit more when they travel

Location, location, location & Comfort too!

Two 65 couples for four nights. We found the location to be perfect for sightseeing and dining. The houseboat is anchored directly across the canal from the Anne Frank house and museum. There is a nice market close by for essentials, although our hostess provided a nice bottle of vino and some coffee to get us started. Bedding was great and beds comfy. The bathrooms were very clean and functioned well. The kitchen and living area was lovely and a great place to relax between outings. There is a charming converted wheelhouse reached by a wide ladder where we took our wine and cheese up every afternoon. It was fun to watch all the boat traffic on the canal as people cued up to enter the museum. There was a helpful guide to restaurants only 5 to 10 mins away. We loved Cocina Mexicana Rosario!

Amazing Location and Unique Experience!

When planning our trip to Amsterdam, I saw this wonderful canal boat as an option and was so pleased with the outcome. We had an amazing stay on the canal boat from the ease of check in to the cleanliness of the place to the comfort of the beds. Sadly, our flight was delayed by a day so we missed an entire day of our stay, but while we were there we enjoyed the comfort and convenience that this boat had to offer. We had tickets to the Ann Frank museum and the canal boat is literally across the canal from it. It is truly in the heart of everything and extremely walkable to restaurants and sights. Our host was very accessible and provided great recommendations to restaurants. When booking, one must remember that this is a canal boat. One of the bedrooms ceiling height is only 4 feet; however, we put our teenage kids in there and we took the other bedroom with normal ceiling height. The beds were so comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and decent size. Not what I would have expected on a boat. I can't recommend this boat enough for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam boathouse magic

The boathouse is very comfortable, clean and spacious. The bedrooms have very low ceilings so if you are tall, this may be an issue for you. The location of the boathouse is fantastic and we enjoyed afternoons sitting on the deck and watching the world go by.

Perfect place to meet up with friends

We stayed on board the Prince Royal with friends. We all enjoyed separate space (2 separate bedroom/bathroom spaces) but a large living room and kitchen to share some good times. Although our weather was a little cooler than we had planned, we also enjoyed the deck area.

We had an amazing time, the boat was clean, decorated with great attention to detail and comfort. The boat is very spacious in a great location but still quiet. The hosts were friendly and responded to our requests very quickly as well as gave great suggestions for restaurants. Highly recommended!

Great location

The property was exactly as advertised. There were ladders and low ceilings but nothing to impact our stay. We were 3 sisters over 60 and had no problems. The location was great. The beds were comfortable. The property was clean and it was very quiet at night. I would definitely stay here again. The top room was our favorite place to hang out.

Beautiful boat in a fabulous location

Thoroughly loved staying on this immaculate canal boat. It’s in a beautiful location which is close walking distance to grocery stores & attractions. Stayed with my husband & 2 adult children & we all really enjoyed our stay here. Cosy comfortable beds with a large warm living area & kitchen. All beautifully decorated & really clean. Great to have the 2 bathrooms too. Host was great & easy to communicate with.

Spectacular houseboat in excellent location

The prince royal was excellent- it is stunningly decorated, has excellent levels of cleanliness and is in the heart of Amsterdam and within walking distance of all the places you would want to visit. The host of the boat was very accommodating, friendly and was exceptionally helpful. The boat is peaceful and offers great views of the city. We slept brilliantly and found the boat comfortable for our stay. We have booked again for next year and can’t wait to return.

Great houseboat experience

Our family of 4 had a lovely time on the houseboat which is very well equipped and in a lovely location with lots of small cafes, restaurants etc nearby and opposite Anne Franks house. We spent 4 days here enjoying the views and walked to everything we wanted to see in Amsterdam. The beds were super cosy and warm and the houseboat was well heated which was essential given it was very cold outside when we were there. The ceiling height in the main bedroom is low (you can’t stand upright in the room) but even my 6foot tall husband managed fine- the boat is surprisingly large inside. Sitting in the “turret” watching the world go by with a coffee/wine was a highlight !

Boathouse entry

I wish we were shown the entryway as it made loading and unloading of luggage difficult. We did not like that the heat was turned to 20 when the boat keeper was there. We were from a warmer climate and it was difficult to keep warm enough until we put it to 22. Also there was a leak in the smaller bedroom. It has been there for a while as the comforter had stained in the spot.

Best location, and on a boat!

Rachell was a great hostess. Met us at the boat early and made us feel quite at home. The boat is beautifully appointed, and we lacked for very little. It is almost directly across from the Anne Frank house (get your tickets before you arrive!), and we had a great time watching the tour boats and bicycles go by. The weather was "adventurous". Snow our first day, hail our second day, thunderstorm our 3rd night + sideways wind. But still a wonderful time and a beautiful city. The beds were super comfy (especially in the forward cabin). We accidentally slept in a couple of times, the beds were so cozy. Wish we could have used the captain's room to hang out a bit more, but the cold weather was a bit too much for that space. Highly recommend this place. It was walkable to almost everything, and in a gorgeous neighborhood with lots of restaurant and pub options, with a grocery store about a 5-7 min walk away. Ceilings in the rooms are low - so mind your head! We eventually got used to it, and it wasn't much of a bother. If we find our way back to Amsterdam, we would definitely look into booking here again.

Best location in Amsterdam

This houseboat experience was phenomenal. It was very clean and well kept. The bathrooms were modern. The floor plan is excellent. It is well lit and has plenty of plug ins. It is the best location in the heart of the canal ring to see the sights and get around. The Ann Frank house is directly across the canal from the boat and we sat on the deck enjoying the view and watching the people enjoying themselves on shore and in the canal boats that passed by. I sat in the captain’s room upstairs enjoying peace and quiet. The wi-fi worked seamlessly. The tv connected to most channels and we especially enjoyed Netflix and CNN. However, there were drawbacks you need to be aware of. You cannot stand in one of the two bedrooms so you have to bend over the time you are not in the bed. Also, access to the boat is via a narrow stairway of about 8 steps going down from street level to the living area. If you can get past these two drawbacks, the rest of the experience is fabulous.

Fellow traveler's two scents

The boat is amazing and styled impeccably, a clean canvas allowing voyagers the opportunity to fill their experiences with the colors of the city. Each room is special, providing exactly what you need. The captain's room where you can close the world off or let the world in but you can always hear and see the blur and heart of the city around you. The front deck allows you to literally greet the world as people from allover the little blue marble float by for a minute or two. Each living their own Adventure. Inside, you physically enter backwards leaving the stress at the door. The heart of the ship is open and inviting, a blank canvas for you to decorate with all the things the city and life have to offer. From bottles of wine to greasy takeaway boxes the place is what you make it. I recommend taking photos at the beginning but also take a few during the stay. A cheese board, good bread and a peach can be the most important still life you'll ever see and will mean the world when you look back at the image and remember the time, the people and most importantly the bread! Each bedroom is a cocoon, the pillow fort from your childhood that you sometimes forget but bang your head just once and you'll literally feel like a little kid again crawling around, and hopefully over, your fellow travelers. I left an Adventure Starter Pack consisting of an old back pack, umbrella, and a maroon corduroy blazer and vest to help start your story off right. Safe travels, Brewster
