We spent 2 nights at the Allure. The boat's location is perfect for visiting the beautiful streets of Amsterdam.
The breakfast is very good and the host very friendly.
The room we had was very small and the bathroom tiny.
Any large person would have problem entering the bathroom. Despite the tight quarters I slept very well in the Allure. The boat is not a comfortable hotel room but one can find many things to like there.

It was our first time on a Hotel boat and it lived up to it's uniqueness.
Staff were welcoming and fab. Special shout out to Romek who was a true gent. He makes a great breakfast too.
Un mode d'hébergement original et agréable. Le patron de l'hôtel a été aux petits soins pour nous, parfaitement disponible. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le thé / café / fruits ou croissants en libre service à tout moment.

À faire
Pas d’eau froide donc douche impossible pas de prise électrique fonctionnelle dans la cabine. Nuit agréable malgré cela et petit déjeuner très copieux
The boat was lovely. Very cosy and comfortable. Hot water for a shower which was well needed after being caught in storm Ciara. Breakfast was well worth waking up for. Quite basic so don't expect luxury but more than adequate and absolutely enjoyable.
The stay was great! It was fun to stay in a houseboat. The interior of the room was simple but exactly what we needed. The host was so friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious! It was in a great location and very close to Central Station and the heart of Amsterdam.

Hébergement original, c'était la première fois que nous dormions sur un bateau. La chambre est certes étroite, mais très fonctionnelle. Eau très chaude à la salle de bain, ce qui est agréable car les journées sont fraîches en hiver. Localisation parfaite, au coeur de la ville, et tout près de la gare. Petit déjeuner de qualité (et en quantité). Bref, rien à redire, très belle expérience.
This is a lovely boat in a great location. We were made to feel like welcome guests from the moment we arrived. The saloon was spacious & we could use it anytime day & night. Hot drinks were available 24/7 & there was a mini bar for a modest fee. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The cabins were very clean & comfortable with enough storage space for 2 people.
The Hotelboat Allure is an excellent place to stay in Amsterdam if you want to be close to the city and have an enjoyable, unique hotel experience. We were able to easily walk to the dock from the train station with our luggage. With it being docked in a central location, we had no trouble finding the boat. Once we arrived, Kris carried our luggage up the gangway, showed us to our room, and gave us a description of the basic amenities he had available. Our room was one of ten and was small but functional with a comfortable, clean bed and it's own private bathroom. In the main dining area there is always coffee and tea available with fresh fruit, cold pop and water, and often other goodies. Kris cooked breakfasts are prepared from early in the morning and catered to individual needs and requests. Food was varied, fresh and tasty. Kris was always around to visit with guests, answer questions, maintain a tidy welcoming atmosphere, and generally ensure we enjoyed our visit. We would definitely stay here again as it was a great way to meet people from all over the world who were into staying in a fun, different type of accommodation.
An amazing experience. The first time we stayed on this boat and we will rebook for sure next trip to Amsterdam. Clean rooms, fantastic breakfast, coffee tea biscuits all the day and Romek was amazing. For the next time.
Great host - very friendly
Warm and cosy boat

Der Betreiber der Unterkunft war wahnsinnig freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Frühstück war sehr sehr gut und es gibt rund um die Uhr Kaffee und Tee kostenlos.
Die Zimmer sind klein aber dafür ausreichend und sauber.
Our host, Krszystof, was the best. He provided good breakfasts, helped us with luggage and even taught me to say his Polish name. The room was cozy, but clean and accommodated all of our 8 pieces of luggage.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay on the Allure! The boat is very conveniently located in the city center, it was clean and comfortable. Our host, Kristof, was helpful with luggage and seeing to our needs. He prepared a delicious breakfast and is personably friendly. The room and bathroom are tiny but sufficient. Beds are comfortable. The allure was unique and we will never forget the experience.
