Fantastic houseboat stay

Fantastic location, close to public transport, but quiet, love the outdoor seating along the canal. Thoughtful extras, and very well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay and we would like to come back again in the future.

Perfect little house boat for two and ideal location.

Lovely little houseboat. Small but it is cleverly designed with good storage and sliding door to the bathroom so it maximises the space. Good location -20 mins walk to the centre but also close to lots of restaurants and a Lidl supermarket. Deck to sit out on by the river was perfect.

A spacious, comfortable houseboat with the perfect waterside deck – the highlight of our Amsterdam s

We absolutely loved our stay at Houseboat Little Amstel! The space was bigger than we expected, super comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The location couldn’t have been better, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the deck by the water – such a unique and peaceful spot. Staying here was truly one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a special location in a nice neighbourhood, this is the place to go.

It’s located in de pijp where you can find great cafes, restaurants, bar and shops. Also we felt very safe. Public transport is in walking distance. The view of the river was very special.
