Guest reviews for Botel

3 out of 5

For tourists who spend their time out of the hotel

Pros: I liked having the breakfast, which was included in room price, across the pier in an old Royal Dutch Navy training ship, the Pollux.
Cons: For the price, probably not much. The Botel is clean, but has a stale feel to it. Perhaps a redo of the interior finishes.
Location: There is not too much to do in the NDSM area, but the ferry dock is a two-minute walk from the Botel, and the ferries get you to all the cool stuff.
Staff is nice, out of the way. Room was neat when we checked in and each day after room service. Never felt any concern about our valuables. Walls are thin, so you hear what the next room is talking about. Water is hot, bathroom tiny. Decor is dated, and would not have been that neat when it was new. All of this goes with the Amstel Botel being a budget hotel for tourists. Only true complaint is that my wife and I were booked into a room with two twin beds rather than the double bed we requested. I will not stay here again, because I don't mind spending more on a little better lodging. However, I do recommend it for the budget conscious. Better to visit Amsterdam and stay at the Botel than not visit Amsterdam. Being on the north side if the IJ is kind of a hassle. Ferries are regular, but everything you'll want to do is across the IJ.
