Had an amazing stay on Iris in walking distance to some of the best parts of the city. The accommodations were terrific all around. Views of the water from the cabin when you wake up is always a great experience. Special thanks to everyone working there while I visited. You all kept the atmosphere enjoyable and treated me almost like I was family. If I come through again, I’m hoping space will be available.
An absolutely beautiful Hotelboat, the view of Amsterdam was beautiful. Tim was extremely helpful and kind and he made my stay a personable experience! Breakfast was delicious as well. I will definitely be returning.

Die beiden Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war gut und die Aussicht ist Mega. Die Lüftung war leider zu laut und die Kabine war nicht so warm. Ansonsten war alles top. Danke für die Erfahrung und den Aufenthalt.
Un lieu incroyable juste devant le Nemo et à deux pas de la gare et du centre historique
Une expérience incroyable et des hôtes particulièrement attentifs à votre bien être ! Nous avons passé un superbe sejour au calme malgré la proximité immédiate du centre . Merci
