Hotel Botel

This neighborhood is a great choice for travelers interested in nightlife, city walks and sightseeing – Check location NDSM-Pier 3, Amsterdam Noord, 1033 RG Amsterdam, Netherlands – This neighborhood is a great choice for travelers interested in nightlife, city walks and sightseeing – Check location

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.

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.

The rooms have either land or views over the River IJ. Each room has a private bathroom and private restroom. A continental breakfast buffet is served each morning.

Guests can relax in the bar area and play pool or video games. During nice weather guests can enjoy the terrace.

The property is located at the NDSM-wharf. This former shipyard is now a place where modern life unfolds: festivals, events, art, flea markets, restaurants, bars and new architecture.

Amsterdam Central Railway Station offers direct connections to Schiphol Airport in 15 minutes. From the station there are tram services to Dam Square and Museum Square which includes the Van Gogh Museum.

Good bar and easy to reach the centre from that port. Totally understand because it's a boat so rooms are fairly small, however would've liked a double bed instead of two singles for £190.

We were able to rent a bike from the hotel which was great no messing about having to take it back to a shop Small bar with pool table was good and the free shuttle that took us to the station early in the morning. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will 100% be staying a third time!

Breakfast is a bit busy with queing and hussle bussle of getting plates, cups and cutlery but that , if anything is my only criticism. Which shouldn't really be a criticism as it is a very popular place to stay and it is a continental buffet breakfast.
Botel is a great little hotel only a 10 minute ferry ride away from Amsterdam Central with ferries running every 20 minutes. As it isn't in Central Amsterdam its price is a bit lower than other accommodation but Botel was quiet , comfortable beds . Cleanliness of room was great , housekeeping great. I really couldn't fault this place for the price.
