Our take
Houthaven lies along the IJ west of Amsterdam Centraal, and The July - Boat & Co makes the most of that waterfront: apartments with full kitchens, a terrace over the river and a wellness area that few Amsterdam apartments offer. I recommend it for families and for anyone staying a week or more. If you want a compact hotel room with the canal belt right outside the door, a central address will suit you better.
- Book an apartment with waterfront views for the best experience of the IJ-river.
- Utilize the fully-equipped kitchen for some meals to enjoy the apartment living.
- Dedicate an afternoon to the wellness area and gym for a relaxing break during your stay.

Why guests love itThe July - Boat & Co rents fully equipped apartments on the Houthaven waterfront, so families get a kitchen and separate living space rather than a single hotel room. The building still runs like a hotel, with an on-site restaurant, a gym, a wellness area and a terrace facing the IJ river. A 9.3 score from 2,022 reviews points to a consistent standard. I would choose it for a longer Amsterdam stay where cooking a few meals yourself matters more than a classic lobby.
