About this property

Renovated B&B houseboat in the centre of Amsterdam

Meet the Prince B&B. This is a self catering B&B houseboat. Location and luxury are what we think of when we see this gorgeous houseboat, located on the famous Prinsengracht, near to the Anne Frank house. It's a stylish and comfortable floating residence in the center of the Jordaan area. Decorated with taste and attention by a professional interior designer. The Prince Royal is the place to be for an unique nautical experience in downtown Amsterdam. You have a direct view on the Prinsengracht and the landmark Westerchurch. The living area is bright and shining, spacious, comfortable and light. The characteristic wooden floor in combination with design furniture gives this area a luxury own identity. There are 2 characteristic bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in the back and front of the ship. The bedrooms are a little lower but that is part of the history and charm of this houseboat. Both the bedrooms have two big double beds with two separate mattresses next to each other (160cm and 180 cm X 200cm), both with a flat screen TV. Romantic and comfortable! The owner, who resides on the boat, values to her privacy and makes sure that your privacy is fully experienced.

Both bathrooms have a towel radiator and under the floor heating. The bright and shining bathrooms offers both a modern sink and shower. Bedlinen and towels are provided.

The outside deck

At the outside point of this former freight ship is a nice terrace with a unique view along the canal. You will find a lovely large terrace, with chairs, cushions and plants. Because it’s wintertime we are not able to make pictures yet, we have to wait until spring. White swans will pass by together with the canal boats. At the other side of the canal you see the Anne Frank house and the famous Westerchurch. A video has been made from the surroundings last year: You are in the middle of historic Amsterdam but because of the water and the impressive historic canal houses around you the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.

The wheelhouse however offers you the best and most exclusive possibility to enjoy the spectacular surrounding of this houseboat. The wheelhouse is reachable from the inside and is higher than the rest of the boat. In this former Captain’s area is a luxury place to sit and enjoy for instance a glass of the free wine from the bar with wine fridge!

- Self check in is possible.

Excellent stay! Don’t hesitate to book here - it was one of the best parts of our trip to Amsterdam. Two bedrooms and two bathes worked perfect. The end room did have a low ceiling, but it was fine. Host was super helpful with each and every question we had. De Reiger restaurant was a short walk and had excellent food and a wonderful vibe. Get a reservation ahead. If you’re there on a Monday, go to the local market up the way for almost everything you can imagine, including tiny pancakes.

This was easily one of the most memorable and comfortable places we've ever stayed. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were by far the most comfortable out of all of the places we stayed in Europe. The heating system in the boat was great and kept us warm and cozy in rainy fall weather. The host was incredibly thoughtful, our flight arrived late and she sent very detailed information regarding the check in process. When we arrived there was wine, snacks, and other little goodies that made us feel instantly welcome. Despite being in a bustling area, the boat itself was surprisingly peaceful and quiet. We loved being able to walk to Dam Square and so many other spots. Everything felt close by but inside the boat it felt like a little private sanctuary in the city.The host was so kind and welcoming, she really goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. We didn’t want to leave but will be back someday :)

What a fun and different way to experience life along the canal in this part of the city. The houseboat was very comfortable however, if you have a bad back or are uncomfortable with stairs, this would not be appropriate. Both rooms have lower ceilings. We were completely comfortable with the beds and sitting area. We took advantage of the upper deck and enjoyed the beauty of the surroundings and watching the boats go by. The houseboat was very clean and and the location was ideal. Great communication with the owner.

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.

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.

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 !
