Hotel De Nieuwe Liefde (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

At this novelty hotel in Amsterdam, you get to sleep in a hotel-furnished room inside of a sailing ship. The hotel does sometimes go sailing, giving you an unrivalled view of the city from the water.

The centre of Amsterdam is only a 15-minute walk away, or you can take the bus line that runs frequently near the hotel.

Many guests have appreciated the serenity of the quiet aboard the ship and in their rooms, away from the general traffic of the city.

Keep in mind that, because the rooms are on a boat and the boat is in the water, the rooms do sway, and space is at a premium. There is only so much room that can be allocated for beds, showers, and furnishings. If you know you will need a larger room or that your stomach gets easily upset, this may not be your best choice.

This may not be the best choice of accommodation for those traveling on business and require access to the Internet. Because although the hotel is listed as having Wi-Fi available for a nominal fee, recent guests have reported that there is, in fact, no Wi-Fi at all. Those traveling for leisure should find plenty to enjoy regardless.

As a novelty hotel, the room prices are higher than they would be for a more standard hotel. For the most part, however, guests have found the experience worth the cost.
