Editor Reviews

• "Beagle Houseboat floats along"
• European Hostels Editor
• (4 out of 5 stars)
• Located just outside the Red Light District in Plantagebuurt (great location on the water), the Beagle Houseboat sleeps four comfortably. Once you get over the lackluster exterior, this place will grow on you. The captain loves to play Reggae music and smoking is permitted (you get the idea). Free Internet is also available.

About Beagle Houseboat

The Beagle is an old two storey houseboat located about 3 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station. This hostel has just one guestroom and offers accomodation for max. 4 persons.

The top floor is the saloon where large windows offer an always changing unique view over the dock, which is surrounded by several historical and architecturally interesting buildings and museums.
The saloon is also the common room, you share with the captain, with facilities like 2 high speed Internet computers (free of charge), do it yourself coffee and tea (also free), guest fridge/minibar, convenient couches and hammock to chill out.
Maps, guides and other (tourist) information are available and there is also a hot shower.


The captain has a nice collection of reggae music and smoking is allowed. If the weather is nice you can also hang out on the roof.

The bottom floor is the guest room with four comfortable beds, small lockers and enough space for your luggage.
