“Hotelboat Sarah offers a genuinely unique Amsterdam experience, where the gentle sway of the water adds a certain charm. I think it's a fantastic location; easy access to the city center, but removed enough to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. I was particularly impressed with the breakfast; the variety each morning was a real treat.”
