Our Story
Our ship, ‘De Hoop’ was built in 1900, and used to carry bulk goods throughout Holland and Europe. She now sits on a sunny canal in the center of Amsterdam, just a stone's throw from the historic canals & Jordaan neighbourhood, the 9 Streets (great shopping) and Central Station with trams, buses and the NS Train. Although centrally located, the neighbourhood is quiet.
The BnB accommodation offered is separate from the main boat and is located at its rear. It features the Captain's Room, the Steering Cabin and cozy bedroom with a two persons bed on the lower level. (it is not really meant for a third but this is possible after inquiry) The newly built bathroom features a natural stone sink, and the shower has a porthole window with a great view out onto the water. It also features a large private (shared with our lovely neighbours) pier decorated with flowers, plants and herbs, a Weber grill and seating made from recycled hardwood.
The BnB features modern plumbing connected to the city sewer, central heating and hardwood floors. A coffee maker, coffee, a selection of teas and hot water kettle, a small refrigerator, utensils and plates are available in the Steering Cabin. Only a few moments away by bike from 2 of the best bio-organic markets in Amsterdam, It's a culinary dream. It is also walking distance to several excellent restaurants including Marius, Open, Nevy, Pizza Bakkers and Bikkers aan de Werf as well as a few local bars and café's such as Blaauwhooft, De Gouden Reael and many more in the nearby Jordaan.
