If you're looking for a friendly, comfortable place to stay in Amsterdam, look no further. The Friendship Bed & Breakfast can accomodate a maximum of four people in two bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen.

You'll find all this on board of an authentic houseboat in one of Amsterdams famous canals. Originally a barge used for carrying cargo, it is now a very comfortable place to stay.

In the bedroom you'll find a television with major international channels including CNN and BBC world.

The bathroom has a bath and shower, and there are separate toilet facilities.

If you book with breakfast, we provide everything you need to start your day: bread, cheese, meats, yoghurt, cereal, milk, bacon and eggs, fresh fruits, coffee or tea, orange juice. There is a computer with free, unlimited access to the internet.

In the kitchen there is everything you would expect (cooker, fridge, toaster, sink, coffeemaker and microwave). You can have your breakfast at the table, and you can lounge in the easy chair. You can check you emails or surf the web on the computer (unlimited internet access is included in the price).

The Achtergracht, where the Friendship BnB is moored, is a small canal just off the Amstel river. It is close to a lot of the major sights: museums like the Rijksmuseum, Van Goghmuseum, the Amsterdam Historical Museum, the Nautical Museum and most recently the Amsterdam branch of the Hermitage.

But also cultural venues such as the world famous Concertgebouw, the Muziektheater (home of The Netherlands Opera and The Dutch National Ballet) and the Carré theatre. And of course old favourites such as the Flower Market, the Anne Frank house and the Red Light District.

The houseboat is easily reached by public transport: tram line number 4 (from Central Station) has a stop 150 meters away. Alternatively, the metro (underground light railway) has a station at about 200 meters away.

Despite being right in the centre of Amsterdam, the Achtergracht is surprisingly quiet. There is no through traffic, and the canal is a dead-end, so there is little traffic on the water too.

Come stay with us in Amsterdam!
