Pros: Great location. Quiet area with easy access to the center of the city. I would definitely stay here again. Very cool Hotel-Boat...Botel :)

Cons: The last ferry from Central Station leaves at 23:45 and the first one leaves to Central Station at 07:00. But there was a free shuttle 5-7 min to/from the 24 hour shuttle. Had 2 single beds that could not be moved together.

Mediocre

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.

Pros: Shuttle service from the ferry after midnight.

Cons: The internet was so slow, I couldn't post videos (they always timed out) and single pictures could take 15-30 minutes.

Unique living experience

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.
