De
AdmiraalHerengracht 563 (626 21 50 / fax 623 46 25). Modest but friendly hotel in the center close to the bustling Rembrandtplein and the city's nightlife. Some rooms overlook the canal. Gays welcome. No restaurant or elevator. Rates double €65-€100. Breakfast €5. Amstel Botel NDSM-Pier 3 (626 42 47 / fax 639 19 52). Amsterdam's
4-deck floating hotel is moored on the north shore of river IJ, so there's quite a bit of water between you and city center, but a free shuttle bus and free river ferry are available.
Though some find it romantic and adventurous, the Botel very much resembles
a cross-channel ferry, with the same small cabins and narrow corridors.
Nonetheless the rooms are clean and modern, and the riverside rooms have
an attractive view. Free in-house movie channel. Elevator.Rates double €77-€90. Breakfast €10. |
