Renovated B&B houseboat in the centre of Amsterdam
Meet the Prince B&B. This is a self catering B&B houseboat. Location and luxury are what we think of when we see this gorgeous houseboat, located on the famous Prinsengracht, near to the Anne Frank house. It's a stylish and comfortable floating residence in the center of the Jordaan area. Decorated with taste and attention by a professional interior designer. The Prince Royal is the place to be for an unique nautical experience in downtown Amsterdam. You have a direct view on the Prinsengracht and the landmark Westerchurch. The living area is bright and shining, spacious, comfortable and light. The characteristic wooden floor in combination with design furniture gives this area a luxury own identity. There are 2 characteristic bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in the back and front of the ship. The bedrooms are a little lower but that is part of the history and charm of this houseboat. Both the bedrooms have two big double beds with two separate mattresses next to each other (160cm and 180 cm X 200cm), both with a flat screen TV. Romantic and comfortable! The owner, who resides on the boat, values to her privacy and makes sure that your privacy is fully experienced.
Both bathrooms have a towel radiator and under the floor heating. The bright and shining bathrooms offers both a modern sink and shower. Bedlinen and towels are provided.
The outside deck
At the outside point of this former freight ship is a nice terrace with a unique view along the canal. You will find a lovely large terrace, with chairs, cushions and plants. Because it’s wintertime we are not able to make pictures yet, we have to wait until spring. White swans will pass by together with the canal boats. At the other side of the canal you see the Anne Frank house and the famous Westerchurch. A video has been made from the surroundings last year: You are in the middle of historic Amsterdam but because of the water and the impressive historic canal houses around you the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.
The wheelhouse however offers you the best and most exclusive possibility to enjoy the spectacular surrounding of this houseboat. The wheelhouse is reachable from the inside and is higher than the rest of the boat. In this former Captain’s area is a luxury place to sit and enjoy for instance a glass of the free wine from the bar with wine fridge!

We absolutely LOVED the houseboat! The location was perfect and it was exactly as advertised! The houseboat was also very clean and the host had good communication. We will definitely be back!!
This houseboat is an experience you must have in Amsterdam! The location was amazing with proximity to great food, and things to do in Amsterdam. The boat was very clean, and we would stay there again!
Excellent stay! Don’t hesitate to book here - it was one of the best parts of our trip to Amsterdam. Two bedrooms and two bathes worked perfect. The end room did have a low ceiling, but it was fine. Host was super helpful with each and every question we had. De Reiger restaurant was a short walk and had excellent food and a wonderful vibe. Get a reservation ahead. If you’re there on a Monday, go to the local market up the way for almost everything you can imagine, including tiny pancakes.
A wonderful houseboat for two couples or even a large family with children. Unbeatable location directly across from the Anne Frank House. Very clean and well-appointed with all of the amenities that anyone would need (except for a microwave).
We loved our 3 day stay on the Prince Royal houseboat in Amsterdam. Rachell was an awesome host. Superb location near all major sights all within walking range. Just don’t get hit by a bicycle!
What a fun and different way to experience life along the canal in this part of the city. The houseboat was very comfortable however, if you have a bad back or are uncomfortable with stairs, this would not be appropriate. Both rooms have lower ceilings. We were completely comfortable with the beds and sitting area. We took advantage of the upper deck and enjoyed the beauty of the surroundings and watching the boats go by. The houseboat was very clean and and the location was ideal. Great communication with the owner.
One of my all-time favorite locations to simply sit and watch citizens from all about the world converge in happiness and common purpose - and all from the uniquecomfort of your own house (boat). Couldn't recommend more.mix it up a little bit more when they travel
This was easily one of the most memorable and comfortable places we've ever stayed. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were by far the most comfortable out of all of the places we stayed in Europe. The heating system in the boat was great and kept us warm and cozy in rainy fall weather. The host was incredibly thoughtful, our flight arrived late and she sent very detailed information regarding the check in process. When we arrived there was wine, snacks, and other little goodies that made us feel instantly welcome. Despite being in a bustling area, the boat itself was surprisingly peaceful and quiet. We loved being able to walk to Dam Square and so many other spots. Everything felt close by but inside the boat it felt like a little private sanctuary in the city.The host was so kind and welcoming, she really goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. We didn’t want to leave but will be back someday :)
This is the exact experience I envisioned when searching for a boathouse in Amsterdam. Charming, clean, super comfortable. The host was so kind and helpful. Great location and so fun. What a gem!
We loved this stay! Such a fun and vibrant location! The houseboat was immaculate and had everything we needed. The “Captain’s Nest” was an unexpected bonus and we used it daily. So fun to watch the crowds waiting for their boat tours and the other various boats go by. Very comfortable beds, too.
This was the highlight of our trip so far around the UK and Europe. The house boat was amazing, well equipped, walkable to everything, had comfortable beds, great kitchen and bathrooms, and near fabulous code! Perfect start did our family of four.
The Prince Royal is a fabulous property that combines the privacy of a very old house boat with the most modern interior details, provisions and amenities. The location is immediately close to everything and Chamelli aims to please as a warm host!
This house boat is awesome! One note would that the ceilings in the bedrooms were lower than expected.. however once you got used to it, it added to the charm of staying on a house boat in the heart of Amsterdam. Host was more than communicative.
We stayed on board the Prince Royal with friends. We all enjoyed separate space (2 separate bedroom/bathroom spaces) but a large living room and kitchen to share some good times. Although our weather was a little cooler than we had planned, we also enjoyed the deck area.
The boat is perfectly located in the Jordaan with both indoor and outdoor seating areas to enjoy the view along the canal. The boat was clean and had everything we needed. The beds and sitting area were very comfortable. The hosts were very communicative leading up to the stay and check in was a breeze. Our family of four couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our time in Amsterdam. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
We had an amazing time, the boat was clean, decorated with great attention to detail and comfort. The boat is very spacious in a great location but still quiet. The hosts were friendly and responded to our requests very quickly as well as gave great suggestions for restaurants. Highly recommended!
The boathouse is very comfortable, clean and spacious. The bedrooms have very low ceilings so if you are tall, this may be an issue for you. The location of the boathouse is fantastic and we enjoyed afternoons sitting on the deck and watching the world go by.
