Very good
DeVante, Jul 2019
Pros (+) It was a boat that was a hotel!
Cons (-) The bar options. But it was understandable that they were limited due to the fact that it was a boat.

Marleen, Aug 2017
Pros (+) The ferry will drop you off very near Amstel Botel, so if you walked all around the city, it will not be tiring to get to your hotel.
Cons (-) The room was very basic and smelled like urine. It was not a pleasant stay at all. The front desk is not much help either.

Anonymous, Jul 2016
Pros (+) The boat is in a really cool wharf area. There's some really cool bars and restaurant just outisde. If you don't plan to stay inside, the boat is ideal for travelers on a budget.
Cons (-) Pretty straight forward, you're staying on an old cruise boat. Nothing fancy but a room and a shower.

FAQs when booking at Botel

  • What are the best rooms for guests to stay in at the Botel and why?

    For a room that is both affordable yet spacious, select one of the Double or Twin Rooms. Complete with private bathrooms, flat-screen televisions, electric kettles, and small terraces, these rooms are sure to have all of the amenities that you will need during your stay. If you will be staying at the Botel with a group, consider opting for a Triple Room instead, as they can sleep up to three people, have a comfortable working space, and contain either a wardrobe or closet.

There is also a billiards table, which is a convenient way to unwind and socialize with some friends.

  • Is the Botel within walking distance of any public transportation?

    If you would like to head to the northern side of the city, take a ferry from the Amsterdam, NDSM dock, which is just a 3m walk from the Botel. The bus is also a convenient way to travel through the region, and the Amsterdam, Klaprozenweg stop can be reached in a 7m walk and services lines 391 and 394. If you need to take a different line, the Amsterdam, Pomonastraat bus stop is a 10m walk from the hotel, and it services lines 35, 36, and 293. One-way bus tickets cost 3,20 EUR each (approximately 3.6 USD), and an unlimited day pass starts at 8 EUR (approximately 9 USD).

  • What attractions can be found near the Botel?

    To enjoy some of the city’s greenspace, go to Vondelpark, a large urban park that contains an open-air theater and is a 15m drive from the Botel. If you are interested in the region’s history, the Rijksmuseum is less than a 20m drive away, and features a selection of exhibits related to Amsterdam’s arts and culture. For a fun attraction that the entire family will enjoy, go to Madame Tussauds Amsterdam, a wax museum that contains replicas of celebrities and is only a 15m drive away.

  • What transportation options do visitors have when going from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to the Botel?

The trip generally lasts between 20 to 25m, and a regular ridesharing service, such as Uber, will cost you around 32 to 43 EUR (approximately 36 to 48 USD). To rent your own car, simply head to the Arrivals terminal of the airport, and you will find offices for companies like Sixt, Enterprise, and Europcar.
