Botel

We stayed at the Botel in Amsterdam and overall really enjoyed the experience. The location is brilliant — peaceful and unique, yet only a few minutes from the centre with the free ferry right outside. The hotel has plenty of facilities, with a cosy bar, café area, and lovely views across the water. We stayed in the Letter L room, which was stylishly decorated, spacious, and definitely had more character than a standard hotel. Our only real issue was the heating setup. The room is split over two levels and the heat rose straight to the mezzanine bedroom, making it incredibly hot at night, while the lower floor stayed very cold at times, especially in the mornings. It made the overall comfort a bit inconsistent. Aside from that, it was a memorable stay in a great spot — perfect for exploring Amsterdam with easy access to the city.

This hotel is no doubt the most quirky hotel of Amsterdam! The hotel is on big boat at the quay at upcoming and creative hub of Amsterdam Noeth NDSM. You can see the hotel from the Central Station, but you need to take the free ferry (15min) to NDSM. The 5 letter lofts are most extra ordinary hotel rooms I ever have seen. Every rooms a different theme. On the deck of the Botel you have a magnificent view of the watwrfront amd thebCnetral Station.

We really enjoyed our stay in the "O" at the Botel. Amsterdam north is great...the staff was terrific. The room was clever and fun. Epic views! Webwill definitely stay again!

In general very nice but the loft we stayed at needs some serious renovation thus the 3 stars. Cracks on the wall, rust around the bathtub, dirty windows, dirty glasses. On the positive side very kind and helpful reception, great view from the loft and easy access with the free ferry from Amsterdam Centraal. A good experience but not a value for money.

We recently stayed in loft letter B on Botel. What can I say?! My boys absolutely loved it! We didn't tell them about the half pipe or skateboards in our room so they loved them! Lovely coffee pods available for the coffee machine in the room. The seating/dining area is tiny so we didn't use it for that, we mainly used it as a wardrobe area and a place to put out things. The two beds are together on the top most floor. Our boys are 5 and 8 and they managed the steps no problem however they made me very nervous with how steep they were. We managed and the beds were very comfortable. There was a decked area to sit along with some chairs and a high table.|The room was perfect for what we wanted/needed. The temperature while we were there was in the mid to high 20's and the room was amazingly cool. Be warned, there are no blinds on the big windows so if the ferry is passing you may flash the odd person if they happen to be looking up. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and Botel was located so close to the ferry it was an absolute doddle getting anywhere. There is also a very handy supermarket round the corner (if like me you like proper milk in yout coffee, not uht).

Don’t waste your money. We stayed 1 night in the L letter of the botel and were incredibly disappointed: borderline dirty, stained and damaged furniture, loud and lack of privacy on the bottom floor of the room (no curtains). Very basic comfort - hostel like - under the pretense of a “minimalist” look…and for 300€ a night. This is just a glorified hostel room. Only nice thing was the view.

Good hotel, very charming and outside the box.|Close to the main station and to the centre|Rooms could have a better soundproofing

Enjoyed the experience of staying on a “boat”, but rooms are fairly cramped. Breakfast is standard ‘buffet’ but was nice enough. Reception staff were friendly but I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price - especially what they’re trying to charge at the moment. Would recommend if it was more of a “budget” price.
