Guests consistently praised the hotel's unique and convenient location, with easy access to the city center via ferry and beautiful views. Many enjoyed the creative and original room designs, and several highlighted the friendly and helpful staff. However, cleanliness was a recurring issue, with multiple reviews mentioning dirty rooms, mold, and insects. Some guests also noted maintenance problems and small or impractical bathrooms. Overall, the hotel's atmosphere and concept were appreciated, but improvements in cleanliness and upkeep are needed.

DeVante, Jul 2019
Pros (+) It was a boat that was a hotel!
Cons (-) The bar options. But it was understandable that they were limited due to the fact that it was a boat.

Marleen, Aug 2017
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.
