Good location for train station and city centre. We stayed in double room with en suite. Shower very hot and powerful! Cabins small but ample storage space. Bunk beds quite comfy, blankets not very clean. Good breakfast, fresh with good variety. Cheng very helpful, made to feel very welcome. Good value for money would stay here again.

We booked two rooms (both with toilet) in Botel Zebra. When we arrived, the woman in the botel said that we would sleep in another boat (two rooms without toilet). The other boat is quite OK but the rooms is not so confortable. Breakfast good.

Bunk room very tiny, dark and wet. A new but a bad experience. As expensive as London but less comfortable. Good breakfast only !

Second stay on this Botel so knew what to expect,or did we? Different staff from our last visit.The lady was very nice and helpful.We were given the cabin at the front of the boat.It was ok but lacked some simple maintenance jobs that would make all the difference(loose steps and drafty gaps in door etc) We had a cabin along the boat on our last stay which was better. The shower was right next to the toilet so no room to maneuver.It could & Should be better with some TLC.Breakfast was excellent

The wifi didn't worked in our room (it was available only in the saloon). However we didn't go to Amsterdam because we wanted to spend hours in the room using the internet... The location is perfect!

Everything was perfect about this hostel. The only little warning are the stairs! Be careful if you are drunk! The staff is really nice and the breakfast is so good! We had a very nice time!

Really good breakfast. Great location. Enough room in the cabin with own shower and toilette. Because it was cold outside, water was condensating on the floor in the mornings, but doesn't bother at all if you don't let staff on the floor. Warm inside. Water in the shower warm immediately. Like everywhere in Ams. difficult parking, but we got advice from the staff where to park reasonably cheap. Definitely worth to experience for few days. For longer stay maybe not so cool. Greetings and thanks.
