An Amazing hostel with a great location, everything all the other good reviews make it out to be. Good breakfast included, easy to get to and from the station and other attractions. The walls are thin and the beds rather small but for the money and the relaxed atmosphere it was worth it.

4 friends over 40 12 - 15th Feb 2012 Just had a fabulous 3 night stay on the Amicitia (formally Friedland) Hostel boat. John was very helpful and we were able to check in early on arrival as there were 2 cabins ready. We also stayed in cabin 13 right under the entrance / main stairwell of the boat and... More

The welcome was great, breakfast great as well with a selection of breads, meat cheeses salad etc. The only downside is that the cabins are small but hey, it's a boat so this is to be expected. The showers and wc very clean and the location is... More

Rooms are a bit small but what can you expect if you're staying on a boat? There... More

Nice and handy to the city, clean but small cabins, great friendly service and very helpful, all that you need for a short stay in Amsterdam.

The boat was clean and great to stay in. Plus, it's so close, even my travel buddy could have found her way home and she gets lost findng... More

Booked the Friesland for a couple of nights at a great price and found its location to be ideal. One thing to note was that we were looking for a boat named Friesland in a specific dock, and the actual name on the side of the boat is Amicitia, and was in a different dock. Not a huge issue but...
