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 "The second Amsterdam outpost of a worthy organisation, this hostel on the edge of the Vondelpark... is ideal for families and nature lovers."
Rough Guide "The better of the city’s two HI hostels, with a bar, restaurant, TV lounge, internet access and bike shed, plus various discount facilities for tours and museums."

To be sure of a place in high season you’ll need to book at least two months ahead.
