July 15, 2016

Perfect for a group of friends visitng amsterdam. Breakfast was busy but good.

Lilli, United Kingdom

Bed was surprisingly really comfortable. Location to ferry was great

Rachel, New Zealand

clean, comfortable hotel. So easy to get to. In lovely area.

Rachel, United Kingdom

It was nice that they had another boat that you could have meals on

Sam, United Kingdom

The boat that takes you to the Botel was extremely convenient as it was right outside the train station and takes you directly there. The beds were really comfortable and the room was surprisingly spacious. The room was also warm and very clean. It was extremely good value for Amsterdam, you have to take a 10 minute boat journey, but the boat is free and departs every 30 minutes. The area is also quiet with no disturbances during the night.

Alisonpireland, Ireland

The staff are very helpful and are on hand when you need them and the rooms are decent sizes. The location is very good only a ten minute boat ride to the centre

Sianead, United Kingdom

Unusual,quirky, Good price,quiet and peaceful, warm,safe, nice and area, harbour view. Nice food on doorstep (nice with easy choices for kids, not expensive), lovely breakfast, free ferry. Friendly helpful staff. Definitely stay here again.

Marina, United Kingdom

Good value for money! Good ferry connection with the Central Station. Nice river view if your room located on the odd side. Lack of "Don't disturb" sign but personal don't disturb you at all - that really made me happy!

Maris, Latvia

Very optimal value price. Big advantage (because Botel is on another side of the river of city center) is ferry (50 m away of Botel) which is free of charge, drives every 30 minutes from NDSM to the city center.

Daniel, Germany

Breakfast was great, staff was friendly, location is super cool in the alternative area with many cool bars, galleries and streetart around. Only 10 mins to central station by free ferry

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.

Characterless considering it could play on the fact it IS a boat. Very slippery outside In hindsight I would have preferred to be on the centraal station side of the river because it is very cold and miserable on the very and 10mins can seem a long time standing in the cold with suitcases.
Bed was surprisingly really comfortable. Location to ferry was great

Everything could have been better. The furniture is at least 25 years old. The carpet is old and dirty. The location is reached by ferry, (which is free), but it is isolated.
NO! It is run down, A dump certainly not 3 stars.

Breakfast was extremely poor, cold and burnt. There is no complimentary tea/coffee in the rooms and when ordered at the bar came cold. No entertainment on board you have to go to neighbouring boats. The bathroom was extremely small. I had to half sit on the sink as the toilet was very close and the shower is tiny
The staff are very helpful and are on hand when you need them and the rooms are decent sizes. The location is very good only a ten minute boat ride to the centre
