8/10 Very good

We spent 2 nights at the Allure. The boat's location is perfect for visiting the beautiful streets of Amsterdam. The breakfast is very good and the host very friendly. The room we had was very small and the bathroom tiny. Any large person would have problem entering the bathroom. Despite the tight quarters I slept very well in the Allure. The boat is not a comfortable hotel room but one can find many things to like there.

The boat was lovely. Very cosy and comfortable. Hot water for a shower which was well needed after being caught in storm Ciara. Breakfast was well worth waking up for. Quite basic so don't expect luxury but more than adequate and absolutely enjoyable.

At stay!

The stay was great! It was fun to stay in a houseboat. The interior of the room was simple but exactly what we needed. The host was so friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious! It was in a great location and very close to Central Station and the heart of Amsterdam.

Hébergement original, c'était la première fois que nous dormions sur un bateau. La chambre est certes étroite, mais très fonctionnelle. Eau très chaude à la salle de bain, ce qui est agréable car les journées sont fraîches en hiver. Localisation parfaite, au coeur de la ville, et tout près de la gare. Petit déjeuner de qualité (et en quantité). Bref, rien à redire, très belle expérience.

This is a lovely boat in a great location. We were made to feel like welcome guests from the moment we arrived. The saloon was spacious & we could use it anytime day & night. Hot drinks were available 24/7 & there was a mini bar for a modest fee. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The cabins were very clean & comfortable with enough storage space for 2 people.

The Hotelboat Allure is an excellent place to stay in Amsterdam if you want to be close to the city and have an enjoyable, unique hotel experience. We were able to easily walk to the dock from the train station with our luggage. With it being docked in a central location, we had no trouble finding the boat. Once we arrived, Kris carried our luggage up the gangway, showed us to our room, and gave us a description of the basic amenities he had available. Our room was one of ten and was small but functional with a comfortable, clean bed and it's own private bathroom. In the main dining area there is always coffee and tea available with fresh fruit, cold pop and water, and often other goodies. Kris cooked breakfasts are prepared from early in the morning and catered to individual needs and requests. Food was varied, fresh and tasty. Kris was always around to visit with guests, answer questions, maintain a tidy welcoming atmosphere, and generally ensure we enjoyed our visit. We would definitely stay here again as it was a great way to meet people from all over the world who were into staying in a fun, different type of accommodation.

Great stay on the Allure

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay on the Allure! The boat is very conveniently located in the city center, it was clean and comfortable. Our host, Kristof, was helpful with luggage and seeing to our needs. He prepared a delicious breakfast and is personably friendly. The room and bathroom are tiny but sufficient. Beds are comfortable. The allure was unique and we will never forget the experience.
