The location is good and being developed at the moment the boat is extremely clean and rooms are small but tidy and perfect for what you need when your in Amsterdam great location across from central station with a free ferry that runs all day and because of the location it is quiet through the night other than the occasional noise from other rooms had a great sleep have used the botel before and will most likely use it again in the future

60th birthday treat

Rooms are advertised as luxury in fact they are extremely basic and no way luxury. The shower was minute with very hot/boiling water. Recommend never to leave children in the shower as the water changes from comfortable to scalding hot. The breakfast was disappointing. Could not watch the TV as the signal was very poor. Their Wifi was down on our stay,The location was good just to catch a ferry to the centre was brilliant, some staff was friendly when I complaint that the Botel had gone down hill and the rooms were not luxury I was told it is a boat and it has windows! I had put a deposit of 20 Euros down to hire a kettle. we had a good weekend and recommend a visit to Amsterdam. Beware booking the transfer shuttle booked with Bookers they never arrived.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place is. It's very clean the room was comfortable and the staff very friendly and welcomin. The breakfast is great and the staff were very efficient in dealing with the large amount of guests they had to cater for.

Good value stay

We were 3 couples staying in Amsterdam for 3 nights and looking for good value accommodation. We were not disappointed with our stay on Botel. The rooms, although compact were exceptionally clean, with clean towels every day and very comfortable beds. The breakfast was excellent with a very good selection of cheese, meats plus hot items. Fruit juice good and coffee machine was good. Bar area was comfortable and closed at reasonable time (12.45am). Vending machines sell snacks and cans of soft drinks - very handy. As for the ferry trip to Central Station - what a pleasant experience every day! A free ferry running frequently day and night was never a problem. All in all we all thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay on Botel and would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to anyone.

War mal was anderes auf einem Schiff zu übernachten und angenehm in den Schlaf geschaukelt zu werden. Zimmer sind sauber, nur Ausstattung etwas dürftig und veraltet sowie sehr ringhörig und mit sehr kleinem Badezimmer. Nur frühstücken möglich. Altes Hafenviertel mit trendy locations und schönem Blick über die Amstel. Mit der Fähre in 10 Min. von Centralstation gut erreichbar.

J'ai aimé la modernité et le style bateau de croisière respecté. La tranquillité et l'accès avec le bac sur le débarcadère à moins de 5 minutes à pied et très appréciable. J'y retournerai sans problème, et je le recommanderai à mes amis

Merci beaucoup.

Die Idee eines Bootes umfunktioniert zu einem Hotel ist gut, der Zustand ist aber eher „schmuddelig“. Auf dem einzelnen Zimmern war nur das allernötigste, im Bad befand sich nicht einmal ein Stück Seife zum Hände waschen. Dafür war das Personal wirklich sehr freundlich.
