Botel zebra have very good location, from the boat is 10 minutes to down town, central station its not so far to anyway from there. Rooms was very small but enough to sleep, cleanliness at the boat was good. Staff was terrible and everything when we want anything help, have a problem with that. If you want cheapest accommodation at the center i can recommended for us.

This hostel was about a 5 min walk from Central Station, which was excellent, but about a 15 min from Dam Square, which was a little further out than wanted. Definitely smaller than we expected; very difficult to use the bathroom. The staff was excellent and very friendly. Probably wouldn't stay on a boat again given the small size of everything, and how difficult it was to move around. Definitely a different experience though!

Spent 4 enjoyable nights there. Something different staying on a boat and even thought it was close to the centre of Amsterdam it was very quiet area. Staff were very accommodating and good fun. Can't complain about anything and would definately reccommend to others We've already decided that we'll be staying there again if we ever go back to Amsterdam.

Very nice hostel, good breakfast, quite clean, free sheets and towels, fifteen minute walk to Central Station and the owner is very friendly and funny. We were four (three guys and one girl) in one cabin (very very small, but fine just to sleep, and with private shower and toilets) and had a great time. Ask the owner where to park the car. I will come back to this hostel.

Very good breakfast. Yes, there's some noise but you should deal with it. Free internet, good location, near to Red Light District.

The smell of the desinfectant was like public wc, maybe the fragance can be chance to a less cheaper one that feels better.

Erwartungen wurden nicht entäuscht(natürlich mit dem Wissen das man auf ein Boot geht!!),alles war gut. Für einen Kurztrip ist eine kleine Schiffskabine allemal ausreichend. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub.

It is not easy to find the hostel, we have seen no signs at the harbour. It was also confusing that they offered a different room when we finally arrived. Maybe they should redecorate some old rooms, However, the overall experience is highly positive, I liked to stay at Botel Zebra.

There is not a better deal in Amsterdam for location and price: it´s true that the rooms are tiny and a little moist but you are on a boat what did you expected? Good breakfeast excellent location 5-10 minute walk to the central station. Sixty euros per day for 2 people with breakfeast and private bathroom it´s not gonna get better than that! Staff is very nice and the botel looks clean. Great job!

The location was great! The staff was superfriendly. The rooms were... very unhygienic, very small, the sheets were old, the ceiling & walls were humid. The breakfast was very basic & we found mold on the bread. It's much money when you see the condition of the rooms + breakfast.

First time that I stayed in a "Botel", and was pretty cool. You got the vibe of Amsterdam in a place like that. Walk 10 minutes to get the center properly it's not a problem definitely. Recommend it for anyone.

The hostel itself is nice and the staff was great. But I was in a room with bedbugs and unfortunately I got bite by those bugs. I woke up the next morning with big spots on my arms and legs. The hostel took care of that problem and moved us to another place. They said that kind of problem happens in Amsterdam and they would call a professional. I checked everything before leaving and cleaned all my stuff at home, I was so afraid to have brought back some bugs with me.

The staff/owners were kind and obliging. It was a really atmospheric place to stay and the rooms were clean and attractive. The breakfast was plentiful and good. Altogether excellent value for money.

Botel Zebra is excellent! Location is very well - it's Central Station quite near. Staff is friendly and helpfully. Breakfast is very good. Maybe it's some wet - but it's Amsterdam)) Oh, yes - there are radiators in the rooms (cabins). Finally - it's very fun - to live in the botel!)

Nice but very very little rooms - it's funny to share that little space though :)
