Great experience to stay for one night, but you have very little space in the cabin. Not so good shower [a little rusty]

I had lived on a barge as a child and this gave me an opportunity to experience some of the memories once more. Very different to anything else available. Very central.

Rooms are small if you have more than two people, good location and the fact its a boat makes it something novel. Make sure your able to get down a steep ladder onto the boat. Reception could have been a bit more accomodating and no information about the city was given.

Despite all the negative comments we gave "The Clipper" a try and stayed two nights. The boat is located near to the center (you can reach everything by foot), and the owner couple can by very nice, depending on their mood (they had some conflicts). The rooms are very small, smell, are not very clean (no clean linen). There are two toilets and we avoided them as best as we could (dirty), and the shower is kind of funny (but usable once you are in it). For breakfast we got the typical Dutch bread, Chocolate hagel, cheese and ham, tee and coffee - not very much, but I think that's want you get in the Netherlands. I would not recommend staying there more that 2 nights; for these two nights it was ok but if you get a place somewhere else...

Staying on a boathouse was really cool! It's something you'll want to talk about when describing your travels.

Fantastic place for something a little different from the adverage hostel. The owner is great and there is a free breakfast too with really nice coffee. Only a short walk from the Rotterdam Blaak station near the cube houses.Only thing there was no hot water when i went to have a shower. Would stay there again for sure

Nice and quiet. The owners were very friendly (they gave us ice cream :) Good location... the bikes survived one night locked up outside on the street. Personally i found the beds very uncomfortable and the room got very hot. Otherwise... it's great value and it did the job for one night

The room was tiny but ok, it's a boat! You cannot ask for more! The bathroom was so dirty that you even forgot you needed to go and the showers too... there isn't hot water so take a breath before your bath! Breakfast is good and the staff is really cool!!! Even the dog is so friendly!!!!!! In general our experience was funny!

just such an orginal place to stay in rotterdam....the only drawback is the comings and goings of other guests.....it's very difficult to sleep when people come late and jump down on to the boat and down the steps into the boat.
