Monnickendam

"We certainly enjoyed our stay at the houseboat. Monnickendam is a cute little town with a nice market, shops and restaurants. Just a 10 minutes walk to the bus stop into Amsterdam - very convenient. On the houseboat you find everything you need. Perfect spot in the evening is on the rooftop. Our host provided us with a very warm welcome. Communication was easy and very pleasant. Getting used to the dry toilet is a little challenge - there are „normal“ toilets in the main building."

"Great overall experience. It is situated in a calm area but close to all you could want to do as a tourist. We walked everywhere. Sitting on the deck for coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening is great - you get see the boats and also the cute ducks. The bed and sofa are very comfortable. Very clean and all we needed was provided. A little tricky to get on and off with luggage but on arrival we did get help. Something to consider if you have mobility issues."

"The houseboat was amazing! It was incredibly serene and quiet, making it a wonderful place to relax. We were not far from Aalsmeer, which is a lovely town to explore. We took taxis to Hoofddorp, where we could easily hop on the train to travel around the area.The houseboat itself was spacious and comfortable to move around in, and both the beds and couches were very comfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the houseboat to others.There were two concerns worth...

16. Sleep Under the Stars on a Sailing Catamaran near Amsterdam

Monnickendam

"We had a wonderful stay with Deep and Julie on their Catermeran. We enjoyed some wonderful sailing and anchored near an Island for the night. We had a lovely evening sharing stories over dinner and watching the sun go down! I was impressed how warm and cosy the boat was and how well we all slept! Waking up surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery in the morning was very special and we enjoyed basking up the sunshine before setting sail. It was a great adventure for both children and adults...

Top Zaandam Hotel Reviews

Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam by IHG

8/10 Good

"Had a great time at the Kimpton. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Answered any questions we had about exploring the city."

YOTEL Amsterdam

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The whole hotel had such a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, with a fantastic vibe throughout. The quality of the hotel and the genuinely lovely staff made our stay that little bit more special. Our four-year-old daughter had the best time and absolutely loved every minute of it! A brilliant experience for the whole family, and somewhere we’d happily return to."

Bastion Hotel Amsterdam Airport

8/10 Good

"Waiting for 15 min at the table to order I see that no waiter is coming so I decide to walk to the waiter to let her know that I am ready to order. Her answer was sorry Sir the chef closed the kitchen so you can not order anymore. And this was actually before closing time for dinner. That got for the Mcsonald next door otherwise there is nothing else in the direct area to get something to eat."

Poppies

10/10 Excellent

"The room was small (as expected) but so cozy! We found ourselves struggling getting over the jet lag because we wanted to stay holed in our room. The AC one night had an error over night and wasn’t cooling but went away in the morning, after researching seems the error was “an obstruction was blocking the outer fan” so a bird maybe made a home in the wrong spot overnight. The Cafe food was very delicious and had great egg options for breakfast, didn’t try the dinner though but going off what we had in the morning I’m sure it’s just as delicious. I would recommend this stay to friends in the future and the community around poppies is a great place to explore and has many other great food options!"
