We arrived at 9am after an unexpected early flight. 10 mins from the station and we arrived at the Vita Novo. The location for us was perfect being easy to get to the sights of Amsterdam. The owners were very helpful and friendly and we left our bags and came back around 6pm. The cabins are small as expected but... More

This boat was good for the price for the Easter Break in Amsterdam. Upon arrival, we were told to wait on the deck while the staff finished loading goods onto the boat. We then checked in with a helpful guy, who let us have the double room with ensuite shower, bonus! Room was basic, but then again we only paid... More

We loved Vita Nova!! Breakfast was great!! Rooms are small but very clean and functional! It is a great place to stay because is close to city center but away from the noise! Definitely we recommend :)

I booked this hostel after seeing the great reviews and thinking it would be a good experience to stay on a boat while in Amsterdam, however when I arrived I was informed there was in fact not Wi-Fi, but only a single laptop everyone could share. If I needed Wi-Fi I could walk to the library which is not far,... More

Lovely little boat right in a very beautiful area. very quiet and central! right next to the Nemo science museum. The walls were thin and beds small but it really didn't matter as the views and location were compensating for all the inconveniences. The staff were really nice! I would definitely come back!

A really nice boat, close to everything, with a friendly and helpful crew. A room of my own for less than 30 € per night! A small room, but a bed with sea view and peace and quiet is all I asked for. The shower is tiny, but everything else is great!

I don't understand negative reviews about this place. You can't compare this to a nice hotel environment and service, so it is silly to say that management is pure or that rooms are small. Of course the rooms are small as it is a boat. the guy and the lady who run the hostel were nice and helpful. Rooms were... More

The location of this houseboat hostel is very good. Just 5 minutes walk from the central station of Amsterdam. We stayed at winter and we slept very good. The owner is very friendly. For budget travellers is a good option.
