This was a great experience staying in the houseboat in Amsterdam. The location can't be beat. We walked EVERYWHERE. All the stuff that you'd want to do is within walking distance. We were delightfully surprised with the breakfast basket delivered each morning. The whole stay was great. Highly recommend this place.

Houseboat

The boat was very cool and in a good part of town, a short walk from essential areas. Flip was great, breakfast was sublime. It took a short while to adapt to the dimensions of the boat but after that it was great. I'm only 5'9" and the ceilings were low. If you were taller this might be an issue. Otherwise, a super cool place to stay.

Three days in Amsterdam.

The stay was great and breakfast delivered every morning around 0830. We had breakfast in the Wheel house on the top deck. The next floor down was a sitting area with a small refrigerator but no microwave; the same floor gave you access to the toilet and shower. Bottom floor provided a bed, very-very small sink, and a place to hang a few things up. If you’re under 5’8” and barefoot you should not hit your head on the ceiling. I am 6 foot and 2 inches and hit my head a few times LOL… The owner lives on the same boat and was very nice. This boat stay was on my bucket lists of things I wanted to do and may do again but only if I could figure out a way to not hit my head. Bottom line - it was a very nice stay. There were 2 bikes there for our use but we opted to walk everywhere.

Lovely Houseboat

We had such a lovely and easy going stay on the Ms Luctor. We were conveniently located near Centraal Station and could get anywhere we wanted with the bikes available to us. Breakfast every morning was such a treat. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had just enough apartment-like space to be cozy while visiting Amsterdam.

Come with a sense of humor

The breakfasts were bountiful and wonderful. The owner lived in the rest of the boat, so he was easily available for any questions and check in was a breeze. This is an old boat with many quirks - none serious for us. It does need additional comfortable seating. It is a 20 minute walk to the Central Train Station and there are 2 wonderful restaurants close by.

We had a fantastic time. Flip is a great host. Very attentive and knowledgable. The accommodations were very comfortable. Bed was excellent we slept great. Breakfast every morning was wonderful. The location is very convenient. Short walk to public transit. Close to dining and shopping. This is an excellent way to experience canal boat living in Amsterdam.

Nice location

Convenient location to walk to Amsterdam Centraal, restaurants, parks and museums (although some were a good distance on foot). It was nice to have breakfast included although it did not vary much. The quarters were clean and the host was accommodating. One thing I will mention which would have made an enormous difference when choosing this property, is that my husband at 6'3" was only able to stand up straight in one of the three levels. I wish we had known this beforehand as it was not comfortable for him.

Wish we could have stayed longer…

Cozy, clean and homey! Very close to where the action happens but nestled in it’s own quiet community of boats, so we slept great, not only due to the lack of noise, but because the bed was also very comfortable. Flip is a really nice host and you can tell that he cares about his guests! We loved our 3-night stay and look forward to staying there again!

Charming B&B on a Boat

While planning our trip we were advised to try to find a houseboat to stay on. We started looking at options and couldn't believe our luck to find such a reasonably priced houseboat where we would also receive breakfast each morning! Flip is a fantastic host! He allowed us to drop off our large suitcase before check-in while we went to get coffee and breakfast after our long flight. The bed is very comfortable! Not too soft but not too firm, right in the middle. Flip very quietly came in and left our breakfast basket each morning which was always more than we could eat in one sitting and there was also a Nespresso machine with pods. My only word of caution is that (unsurprisingly) temperature control was a little challenging, the bottom part of the boat, where we slept, was always pretty cold. Also, there are low ceilings when you go down the steps and even my wife and I (5' 5," and 5' 3") bumped our heads a few times. All in all though, it was a lovely stay in a cute neighborhood close to the bus, the tram, and walking distance to many eating and drinking options.

The boat is just as it is pictured. The breakfast was amazing every morning and when we had to leave early for our flight Flip brought the breakfast the night before. Wen I told him that there was an issue with the heat, he took care of it immediately.

Great house boat experience!

Staying on a house boat in Amsterdam is something you must do! And, this is the perfect house boat to choose! It is in a great location just a few minutes walk from Prinsengracht, while being just far enough away to be super quiet at night - I could’ve slept for days in the cozy bed! The owner had great communication throughout the booking process and during the stay. And, brought up the cutest breakfast each morning! It was an absolutely wonderful experience!

Cosy and clean

This is the perfect little place to stay for a couple as it's so close to the centre you can explore all areas of the city. If only we had more time! The bicycles were a bonus as it's a great way to get around and see the sights. Its lovely and clean and really cosy. The breakfast was delicious and a perfect start to the day. Delivered each morning in a hamper full of goodies. We especially loved the freshly squeezed orange juice.

Unique and Wonderful Experience

Our stay on Ms Luctor was a unique and wonderful experience. Our hosts were gracious and generous, responding quickly to any concerns we had, and providing a fresh and ample breakfast that took us through our day - did I mention fresh-squeezed orange juice?! We felt immersed in the Amsterdam experience. The B&B was within walking distance of Central station, the Anne Frank house, and Dam square. Only regret - We wished we had used the bikes before our last day. Thanks Flip!
