YAYS Amsterdam Maritime is an aparthotel on Oostenburgergracht in Amsterdam’s eastern harbor district, operated today by the Numa group. It occupies a converted 19th-century industrial building on Oostenburg, the island where the Dutch East India Company once ran its shipyards. Travelers choose it for apartment-style space, a canal-side address, and an easy walk to the center.
Each apartment has a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and parquet floors, according to Booking.com. The property also offers free WiFi, an elevator, laundry service, family rooms, and luggage storage. Interiors are clean-lined and contemporary, and the industrial shell gives the rooms a loft-like feel suited to longer stays. Guest feedback is consistently strong: the hotel holds a 4-of-5 rating from 897 reviews on Tripadvisor and ranks among the city’s top specialty lodgings.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Booking directly through Numa’s official site unlocks a member discount. If you plan to cycle, confirm bike availability before arrival rather than counting on it. For the lowest rates and quieter canals, visit between November and March and avoid April’s tulip season and King’s Day.
Het Scheepvaartmuseum (the National Maritime Museum) is about 700 meters away. De Gooyer Windmill and Brouwerij ‘t IJ, a brewery next to it, are a short walk east. Central Station is roughly 20 minutes on foot.
