Little Amstel

De Pijp


Windows in these two cabin-style rooms aboard a houseboat look directly over the Amstel, the river that gave Amsterdam its name. The 'basic' room has one east-facing window, while the 'standard' has a double aspect. Both have private entrances, as well as en-suite bathrooms, small fridges and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Breakfast (€5 to €15) can be delivered.
