About this property

B&B on a ship

The B&B is a bedroom with a 200x160 queensize bed and a bathroom on an old ship. And there is a water cooker to make coffee or tea. It's very suitable for a couple.
The ship is over a hundred years old and has been recently renovated.
The Morgen Ster is an iron ship, seven minutes walk from the Central Station. Although it's in the heart of the centre, the location has the feel of the country side. A large part of the city is easy to reach on foot. Within ten minutes one can walk to the Central Station, The Dam Square, The Waterloo Square, The Portugese synagoge, the red light district, the Nieuwmarkt, The Rembrandt house.

The front door has a lock with a code. Check in time is 3 pm or later, check out time is 11 am.

Although it's called a Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast is being served. All in all it's quite small, but very cute and comfortable.

Please be aware that the neighbours walk over the roof of the B&B on the way to their homes. It's part of living on a ship in the centre of Amsterdam.

Elderly guests must be aware that you can't walk around the bed. Also you have to step up the ship and there is a small stairway you have to descent.

The B&B is not suitable for pets.

Maarten's place was perfect for what we were looking for in Amsterdam. A houseboat and within walking distance to all the attractions. Maarten was extremely accommodating in our changing travel plans. I could not be happier and would highly recommend staying here.

Amsterdam visit

Maarten was great to work with. The location was perfect and convenient to walk everywhere. The only thing that would have made the stay perfect, would be a bit of outdoor seating. Being able to sit outside and relax and watch boat traffic would have been wonderful. I’d stay here again.

Perfect One Night Stay

My husband and I wanted to stay somewhere different for our first time in Amsterdam and this houseboat did not disappoint. Marteen was a fantastic host and the place was a great walkable location to everything we wanted to see. We took the train from the airport and it was a quick walk from there. We highly recommend booking if you want a unique stay in an incredible city.
