Stay here. Do it. Escape the touristic chaos of central Amsterdam and feel like you’re living the good life for a few days.
The guest suite on the Tasmania is unlike anyplace I’ve ever stayed in my life. You have your own entry with keypad, so you’re free to come and go as you please. I was welcomed by a bottle of wine and an ample spread of breakfast foods, coffee, and snacks. The kitchen is well-stocked, the bathroom is tidy and modern, and the bed is very comfortable.
I honestly can’t think of a single thing negative to say about my experience. You should note that the boat is docked a bit off the beaten trail, but that’s part of the charm. After spending the day battling pedestrian, bicycle, tram, and car traffic all day, it’s lovely to come home to the silent solitude of the Tasmania at dock.
Again, I highly encourage anyone who’s on the fence about this place to just book it. It’s all the charm of Dutch boat house life with all the luxurious touches of a nice hotel. You won’t regret it.
