Beautiful Houseboat experience

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated houseboat. It would have been easier to have a car. Taking an Uber to down was a pain and very expensive and public transport is not very convenient from this part of city. Overall, a great experience and very peaceful location.

We had an excellent stay with Hamburg Boats and truly did not want to leave.Mareijke was wonderful to work with and was immediately available whenever we had a question. She was an exceptional host from start to finish. The houseboat was clean, warm, and incredibly fun to stay on, and the view was absolutely incredible. We loved watching swans and ducks swim by, and the scenery was genuinely breathtaking.The location was very convenient and easily accessible to the city, with parking available right out front, which made everything simple and stress free. Mareijke’s instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to follow, making the entire experience seamless.This was a truly special stay, and we highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Hamburg.

Die erste Erscheinung des Bootes ist Mega, es sieht richtig neu und nobel aus. Dieser Anschein bleibt auch innen bestehen, sehr mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, farblich alles toll abgestimmt. Der Blick durch die bodentiefen Fenster einfach klasse, man entschleunigt sofort. Für uns zwei großen Erwachsenen mit 1,80m und größer ist das Bett definitiv zu klein. Leider haben wir das Warmwasser zu spät mit der Sicherung angemacht, dass der Boiler doch einige Stunden braucht, um warmes Wasser zu liefern war etwas ärgerlich. Ein Hinweis darauf, am besten beim ersten Betreten die Sicherung anzumachen könnte hilfreich sein. Sonst ist alles sehr ausführlich erklärt und beschrieben, so dass man sich einfach und schnell zurechtfindet. Das schlechte Wetter mit dem starken Sturm hat die Freude dann doch etwas getrübt.

Für paare gemacht. Hervorragender Aufenthalt. Super Ausgestaltet ist die Unterkunft auch. Am frühen Morgen ist der Blick auf die Elbe unbezahlbar. Die Kommunikation mit Familie Buhr ist sehr einfach und bei kurzfristigen Unstimmigkeiten ist sogar per Whatsapp immer Hilfe zur Stelle

Schönes Hausboot, gemütlich uns sauber

Der Aufenthalt war wie auch vorher sehr angenehm! Absolut gemütlich, tolle Aussicht und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, komfortabel und sauber, alles auch sehr zweckmäßig, man vermisst im Prinzip nichts! Parkplatz auch immer frei, in HH keine Selbstverständlichkeit, das nahegelegene Tai-Restaurant eine Empfehlung wert.Zwei Kleinigkeiten, die man aber besser machen könnte, bzw. anpassen müsste für diese Jahreszeit, die Heizung fällt bei Minustemperaturen auf 12 Grad nachts, die Heizung aufgrund des Timers anzupassen, ist ein wenig schwierig, mit "Ein und Haus" kommt besser klar, sollte es so auch in der Anleitung stehen, hier stehen auch viele TV Kanäle aber die meisten HD-Sender sind inzwischen nicht mehr am Laufen, das sollte man nachbessern.Dennoch absolut empfehlenswert, die Hinweise sind als Verbesserungsvorschläge zu sehen, nicht als Meckern!LG Grüße Gerd
