Frommer's "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.
Lonely Planet "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
Time Out "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

DK Eyewitness "On the most scenic canal in Amsterdam, this hotel spread over three canal houses from the 17th to 20th centuries is a few minutes’ walk from the Westerkerk."
Rough Guide "A quiet, well-maintained place on a tranquil canal."

"The nine-room Hotel van Onna is a no-frills budget hotel well-located in central Amsterdam, a six-minute walk from the Anne Frank House." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Hotel van Onna is a no-nonsense place, fine for a short stay, especially if you’re likely to spend most of your time out and about anyway." Full review
Frommer's "Even the oldest, plainest rooms have character, and all are both neatly furnished and clean." Full review

Whichever building you wind up in, request a front room overlooking the canal.
