"Where better to experience a city on the water than on a boat-hotel moored permanently to a dock on the IJ waterway northwest of Centraal Station?" Full review

Be sure to ask for a room with a view on the water, to avoid the uninspiring quay.

"Five minutes’ walk from Centraal Station, this floating hotel is usually populated by dazed, Europe-in-four-days bus groups and packs of Brit boys/girls celebrating bucks’/hens’ nights." Full review

"Convenient for Centraal Station, the docklands and hops across to Noord, this a good bet if you're looking for good, clean accommodation with the odd frill, like free in-house movies." Full review

"God knows, Damrak needs a decent hotel, and this new sister to the excellent Lloyd Hotel... is a welcome and wacky newcomer... for the price, it’s one of the best places to sleep in town."
