Months ago when I was searching for a spot in Amsterdam to stay, I recall a reviewer of the Neeltje writing that his only regret was that he didn’t stay on the boat for his entire stay. That hooked me in, and he was right. FIVE STARS all around! My stay on the Neeltje was all I could want and more. From the coffee on the deck in the morning to the peaceful nights on the water, I could not imagine a more unique and memorable experience in Amsterdam. (I’m also convinced that the very gentle rocking of the water helped cradle me soundly to sleep at night). Stijn was a most gracious, thoughtful and helpful host. If you want a unique spot close to the ‘action’ of the city, but not too close, then try the Neeltje. You will not be disappointed. You will however be enchanted.
