My sister and I found Botel Zebra when all of the hostels shaped up to be expensive and gross. We were amazed at how lovely Botel Zebra was. It took 10 minutes to walk to Botel Zebra from Amsterdam Centraal-you literally walk out of the railway station and to the left for those 10 minutes and over a little bridge... More

There are big advantages: location - close to the central train station and city centre, and reasonable prices. You have to remember that it is a boat, so rooms are really tiny. Room at Zebra is only a place for sleep, you will not spend there romantic evening with candles. I was a little afraid about cleanliness and moisture after... More

Accommodation in Amsterdam is extremely expensive. While you can get a room in Amsterdam at Botel Zebra at a low price, you need to accept something like small and stuffy room without fresh air, and small toilet. 15 mins walk to Amsterdam Centraal Station. Wifi is okay. Breakfast is provided, with choices of cornflakes and sandwiches. Maps are provided upon... More

Botel Zebra has the advantage of being pretty close to the Amsterdam's city centre and the Central Train Station (with a great tourist information centre across the street). We did not make much use of the breakfast, as it is only served after 9:00 am, which was an inconvenience seeing as we wanted to make an early start on most... More

The space is clean and cozy. Excellent water pressure (had a nice bath!) They serve excellent selection of breakfast (cereals, pastries, fruits, and different types of cheese!) The hospitality...

Terrible service, filthy rooms, impossible to find, rude staff ... Everyother Boat in Amsterdam is cleaner, friendly and has much bigger beds. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here, i think some of the reviews are very over exagerate. The rooms were small, but there was enough room to get changed, have a shower, and sleep comfortably. The moisture on the ceiling only occurs if the shower door is open or the port hole is not open, this only happened to us on... More
