The Tasmania is a delightful & unique stay in Amsterdam. The space is beautiful! We had such restful sleep with the cool breezes coming in the portals, the lulling sounds of the harbor, & the shimmering reflection of the water on the ceiling inside. Michael & Sonja have these genius discs to place inside each port window to block the dock lights & morning sun. We left them open just enough for the breeze and ambient light so we didnt trip on our way to the w/c. Just be mindful if you have a lot of luggage like we did. We did find space to stow them out of the way, though. There arent many restaurants nearby but you can easily walk a few blocks to a cafe or catch the bus to Centraal Station. Once there, the whole city opens up to you. Get yourself a city card for your transportation & other perks all over the area.
