I've been dam nearly a dozen times, but this was the best. Only 10 min ferry to Centraal station yet it's so peaceful and laid-back. I liked the fact that we could go to main Amsterdam or just go for walks locally (nearest coffeeshop to botel is 'funny people' which is about an 8 min walk - good weed and you can roll in there but no smoking. The i-building is kinda cool as well - get a ferry back to Centraal then another there. Overall I'd definitely recommend botel and defo will be returning.

A very mixed bag place to stay, it is fun and unique place in a good location but the hostel bunk beds have very very little room given this is the Netherlands and the showers are not great.
