The B&B is a bedroom with a 200x160 queensize bed and a bathroom on an old ship. And there is a water cooker to make coffee or tea. It's very suitable for a couple.
The ship is over a hundred years old and has been recently renovated.
The Morgen Ster is an iron ship, seven minutes walk from the Central Station. Although it's in the heart of the centre, the location has the feel of the country side. A large part of the city is easy to reach on foot. Within ten minutes one can walkto the Central Station, The Dam Square, The Waterloo Square, The Portugese synagoge, the red light district, the Nieuwmarkt, The Rembrandt house.

The front door has a lock with a code. Check in time is 3 pm or later, check out time is 11 am.

Although it's called a Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast is being served. All in all it's quite small, but very cute and comfortable.

Please be aware that the neighbours walk over the roof of the B&B on the way to their homes. It's part of living on a ship in the centre of Amsterdam.

Elderly guests must be aware that you can't walk around the bed. Also you have to step up the ship and there is a small stairway you have to descent.

The B&B is not suitable for pets.

    Maarten, the host, is incredibly responsive and attentive. His quick replies to queries make the experience seamless. Accommodation: The rooms on this charming old ship are cosy and clean. Imagine waking up to the gentle sway of the water! The ship has been recently renovated, preserving its historic charm. Location: The B&B is strategically situated—not amidst the madness, but close enough to escape into the vibrant city. Although it’s called a Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast is served. But fear not—the nearby cafes and bakeries offer delightful morning treats. Just be aware that neighbors occasionally walk over the roof of the B&B on their way home—it’s all part of the ship-living experience! A quintessential Amsterdam experience for any traveller.

    Property was different (it us a boat) But is comes with limitations. I.e. place for cases. No wardrobe. Pictures are accurate. Maarten the host was very welcoming and left us alone during the stay. On departure we described a smell we experienced during our stay so he could be aware. Should not be described as B&B Refrigerator provided but take everything you might need with you. Only two cups and small spoons provided. Netflix worked well. Felt safe in the area but not wowed by the experience.

    Very cool place Maarten has! Unique opportunity to stay somewhere other than a hotel. Convenient location near Amsterdam Central Train station and an easy walk into Amsterdam city. The room was clean, had air conditioning and Netflix. Would definitely stay again if we come back to Amsterdam.

    Maarten's place was perfect for what we were looking for in Amsterdam. A houseboat and within walking distance to all the attractions. Maarten was extremely accommodating in our changing travel plans. I could not be happier and would highly recommend staying here.

    Maarten was great to work with. The location was perfect and convenient to walk everywhere. The only thing that would have made the stay perfect, would be a bit of outdoor seating. Being able to sit outside and relax and watch boat traffic would have been wonderful. I’d stay here again.

    This is a cute little space in a perfect location, but be aware it is a very small unit. The host is very nice and there to help with anything you need. You can walk to anywhere in the canal district easily.
