The Botel Amstel, a floating hotel, moored at the NDSM (Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij) shipyard, is an ideal place to stay in a city like Amsterdam, so famed for its network of canals. The 175 clean and basic cabins are spread out over four decks connected by a lift. They are decorated in a functional style, while the bathrooms are small and only equipped with showers. The bar, which also functions as a recreation area, with a jukebox, pinball machine, pool table and television, is open daily between 9.00 a.m. and 12.45 a.m.
