Hotel Details

Location

Moored in the heart of Amsterdam, a 10-15 minute walk from Central Station and within easy reach of the city's main attractions.
The botel is docked in a quiet canal basin just steps from the Nemo Science Museum and a short walk from the bustling city centre. Amsterdam Central Station is 10-15 minutes away on foot, providing direct train connections across the city and to Schiphol Airport. Numerous restaurants, cafés, and bars are within 5-10 minutes' walk. The location combines central convenience with the calm of a waterside setting, and the surrounding area is well served by bike rental services.

Accommodation

Cosy cabin-style rooms with private bathrooms, comfortable beds, and efficient heating and air conditioning.
Each cabin includes a private bathroom with shower, toilet, and free toiletries. Beds are singles and cannot be combined into a double. Rooms are clean and well-maintained, with wardrobe or closet storage and linens provided. The cabins are compact but functionally laid out, and they stay warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to individual heating and air conditioning. Some previous stays note that walls are thin and noise from neighbours or late-night arrivals can be heard, so light sleepers may want to prepare accordingly. Windows offer canal or harbour views.

Dining

A paid breakfast buffet with a wide selection and free hot drinks, water, and fruit available all day.
Breakfast is served each morning for €12 per person and offers a buffet with continental, vegetarian, American, and fresh options including breads, pastries, eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. The quality is consistently described as excellent and varied. Throughout the day, guests can help themselves to free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, and fresh fruit in the shared lounge - a valuable perk given typical Amsterdam prices. The botel has a bar for drinks in the evening.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi in public areas, luggage storage before check-in, a bar, and 24-hour safety features.
Free Wi-Fi is available in the lounge and on the deck. Luggage can be dropped off before check-in time, allowing you to explore the city hands-free. The bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices. Safety equipment includes fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, a security alarm, and an in-room safe. A shared lounge/TV area and board games add to the communal feel. No parking is provided. The botel is non-smoking throughout.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Drop off luggage before check-in at 14:00 if you arrive early and want to explore the city immediately.

  • 02

    Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper - cabin walls are thin and late-night noise from other guests can occur.

  • 03

    Use the free coffee, tea, and fruit available throughout the day to save on drinks during your stay.

  • 04

    Arrive before midnight; late check-in after 00:00 is not possible - plan your flight or train arrival accordingly.
