A.J., the captain of the Beagle, has been hosting guests on his boat for years. With a terrace made of innertubes and couches piled on the roof patio, this place has a great vibe: the perfect mix of nautical, knowledgeable, and nonsensical.
The Beagle's only got room for four, and if you're looking for modern hotel amenities and service, A.J. and his boat aren't for you. On the other hand, if you and your friends (or kids) are seeking clean beds and a true Amsterdammer experience, then your crew has found a hidden treasure.
Guests enter the boat through the laundry area and pass through the spotless kitchen before reaching a lounge with two new computers and fresh blue couches. Rooms, situated below, are clean. Overall, the Beagle's budget furnishings feel fresh.
A.J. advises guests against driving into town. Parking in a nearby lot costs more than a night in one of his beds, and the Beagle is docked less than a five-minute walk from Centraal Station. Finally, A.J. only accepts cash. Are you surprised?
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Beagle Houseboat neighborhood
The Old Center is home to the Red Light District and most of the main tourist attractions, with the notable exception of Amsterdam's most important museums. Dam Square, the Royal Palace, Nieuwmarkt, startlingly graphic storefronts, and a seemingly endless supply of "coffeeshops" keep the area packed with eager—and often gawking&mdashltourists. This is Amsterdam's touristy nerve-center. It's dirty, chaotic, crowded, and, for some, enthralling.
