It was a nice place compared to the price I've paid.

Denis, Israel

Beautiful place, tasty breakfasts, comfortable bed, no bedbugs in the room that is so important in Amsterdam! I’ll sure be back!

Kristina, Belarus

Right, so that's that then, all future visits to Amsterdam will be planned around staying at Botel. It's great fun, all rooms have a good view, the ferry to town is really easy, free, fun, and runs late. There's an old Russian submarine opposite which is cool, and the parking (although not overly secure) is close. Roof terrace is nice and the breakfast...wow, that bacon!!

Tom, United Kingdom

Was nice to sleep on a boat and the basics were fine. Thin walls, vibrating phone of the neighbour next door woke me up.

Kris, Belgium

My only suggestion would be to give a detailed description of how to get to hotel with name of place ferry goes to. Would have saved us alot of grief and walking with suitcases

Darlene, Canada

Not that expensive compared to other accommodations. The ferry to get there is free. Take the one on the left side, there are three or four ferries. The last ferry is around 1 in the morning. Usually it’s one in 30 mins but in the morning( before 10) it’s one in 15 mins. There is towels, a cup, toilet paper and shampoo/body wash combo.

Wei, Sweden

The location is great and the beds were comfy. It was also surprisingly quiet and fairly spacious. The shower had good water pressure and temperature.

Narsand, Brazil

Quiet location, cosy, swelling river gives a funny effect

Konstantin, Ukraine

the room is clean and the hotel stuff really perfect in all-time and really helpful, I didn't eat breakfast but its look fine, from the central station there a boat you take it free to reach the hotel every day, the hotel gives you all the information about that too with a map, the seas view its unforgettable, a good experience to sleep in the atmosphere of a ship and you will love it.

Hani, Jordan

Everything was there. But sadly not to our taste and our lifestyle choices. My husband loved boats but this was an experience he cannot repeat due to health issues. We tried and it was a failure for us, but for young people without a car and without health problems it can be an ideal location and for a short stay ideal.

This unique 3-star hotel offers rooms aboard a boat located on the River IJ at the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam. The property includes a bar. It has a free 10-minute ferry service to Amsterdam Central Station twice every hour.

There was an unpleasant smell in the room. Even the pillows smelt bad. The rooms on the first floor are just above the water and thus you could hear the waves hitting the Botel very distinctly. There was a loud noisy machine (ventilation) perhaps which may a problem for light sleepers. The bathroom was small and uncomfortable. The ship is slowly swaying and you can feel it very well in the bathroom. The lamps were flickering for a few seconds when being turned on.
Good location, polite staff.

Rooms are small, but that can only be expected on a boat.
The Botel is located next to the free ferry which departs to the Main Train Station every 15 minutes or so. It is a short ride across. This makes the location perfect. The breakfast was very good. The rooms are a little small, but this is on a boat and they were kept very nicely. It is a beautiful view out the window. The price is very good for the location.

Paying to have a safe? It is not right. It should be a service provided and for free. As it is anywhere. Been asked to give a deposit for the key for 18 € . Got 15 back. They kept 3. I complained and the woman said it is how has been done for 20 years. Doesn't mean anything that answer. It is still wrong.
