Stayed at the Botel many times before, but this was the first time in one of the Letters (‘E’). Room had a boutique style and feel to it, and the cinema screen and projector, along with the lounge on its first floor really enhanced our trip. Will definitely stay in it again!

The letter O room has a excellent view from the room. It made being away from family on Christmas day a lot easier to handle. We took the ferry over, it is just a short walk from there.

8/10 Very good

Stayed in the “B” for a week. Very cool to have such a big space and all of the top deck of the boat. There was fake aircon in the room so it got stuffy with the bed high up in the 3rd floor mezzanine at night and no windows can be opened. I would also note that it is a set of ladder steps up to the bed that is not suitable for older people or young children. There is also no couch or lounge chairs in the unit despite there being ample space so sitting on cushions on the floor was not great. There was a lot of quirky cool about staying here and the location was fantastic. I would stay here again but not in the “b”, I would look for a letter that had some lounge chairs and beds not needing a ladder to access.

Fantastic from beginning to end. The view from the letter O we stayed in was spectacular. Such a unique room, with the bath tub right next to the bed. Just be careful going up and down the stairs! It was hot when we first arrived but there is good air con. We asked for more shampoo and they arrived in abundance within minutes from house keeping. We requested breakfast even though we had not pre booked and this was no bother. Staff were very attentive and ensured we were catered for. The hire for the hair dryer is €12 I think. The surroundings are pleasant, it was a very quiet atmosphere at reception and social areas. Amazing that there is a free ferry back and forth to the station. A memorable stay!

Ok place to stay. In a quiet location with easy access to Amsterdam via the free ferries. Dangerously hot showers though, that should be really be replaced. Expensive for what it is really, but you're paying to stay in Amsterdam I suppose.

Unique place to stay, close to city

Stayed here many times but this was the first since being renovated! Great place to stay, rooms are small but clean & have plenty of character. Staff friendly & the night time security guard is the best! Will definitely be back again and cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for somewhere close enough to the city without the price tag. Ferry from NDSM is free and runs every 20 mins to Centraal until 1:30am.

Perfectly fine for somewhere to get my head down, bed was comfortable. Very hot water in bathroom and although the shower head was small there was incredible pressure which came from it. Radiators quick to heat the room. Liked that checkout was 11am!

Generally Pleasant.

Generally a pleasant stay. Paperwork on arrival stated restaurant is open till 22:00, however there is no restaurant on site but plenty in the vicinity. Real shame about the use of plastic cups though. In the bathroom and drinks served at the bar to take to our room. All single use plastic cups. Not very eco friendly.

Review of the O room !!!!

A very unique and original room design! While a night or 2 was fine, it really wasn’t ideal for middle aged people. Very worn, and could use updating. It was clean and the bed comfortable. Very friendly staff. I would recommend changing rooms if possible , and trying the other letters also. The ferry next door made the daily commute really easy. Very quiet, with great views
Many narrow stairs
Night view
Nice outdoor area

Good fun stay, but a few things let it down.

Botel was a fun experience and the location was great with free ferries from right outside the station direct to right outside the Botel, but the room was really basic. The bar and communal areas inside were great. The roof top bar area was rough, and had a homeless guy sitting under the steps smoking weed. The ensuiite was really tiny and there was no way to stop the floor flooding when you had a shower. A bath mat would have been really helpful. Also needs soap in the bathroom.

10/10 Exceptional

This property is unique! We stayed in Loft B. The views are incredible with outside seating areas and perfect peace and quiet. Our last night was during an Amber Wind Warning for the Amsterdam area but apart from the wind noise we felt perfectly safe. The room is on 3 levels, the bottom has bathroom, kitchen and skateboard park! Helmets and boards are provided. I am 67 but I still had a go. This level has 2 very big circular windows and we spent most our time in looking out at the passing boats. There is spiral staircase to the middle level. We used this as our dressing room with a table and seating and room for our cases. The 2 upper floors have very strong safety netting and lots of electric sockets. There is a very safe ladder that leads you up to the bedroom. My partner has a fear of heights but she was perfectly fine going up and down. The bedroom has two large double beds with a shelf for your bits and pieces and a TV. We kept most our stuff on the middle floor as I said. My partner had "the best sleep of her life". That may have been due to having a bed to herself! We loved our stay and we will always remember the B.
