Boothclub Amsterdam
Two rooms, one operator, and which door to open first
Most of what you will read about Boothclub describes one cosy room with retro booths and a curtain to pose behind. That is half of it. Boothclub runs two rooms in the centre of Amsterdam, they hold different machines, and if old hardware is why you are going, the address everyone quotes is the wrong one to start with.
Two addresses, often treated as one
Boothclub Amsterdam is at Raamsteeg 2 (1012 VZ), a short lane off the Singel, and it is the address most people mean when they say the name. Boothclub Garage is a separate room at Prinsengracht 673, further round the canal ring.
We have tripped over this too. Our own directory once held the Raamsteeg room under three different listing URLs, picked up from different sources, before we folded them into a single page. The photobooth.net feed lists the same room with map coordinates that land it on the east coast of the United States. If a map app has ever sent you somewhere odd while looking for Boothclub, that is probably why.
Use the street address. Not the pin.
What is in the Garage, and why it matters
The Garage keeps two genuinely old cabinets. Our record has a Model 12, from a production run that went from 1958 to 1964, and a Model 17 built in 1967. The rest of the room, like Raamsteeg, is a mix of chemical and digital machines.
The Model 12
Outside Amsterdam, the sources behind our directory name two others. A black and white Model 12 is listed as active at the Carousel on Bridge Street in Sylvan Beach, New York, and the booth at The Image Centre on Gould Street in Toronto was reported to photobooth.net as a Model 12 in September 2026. That is the company the Garage’s cabinet keeps.
The Model 17
The Model 17 is the cabinet other people copy. The Analog Photobooth Studio in St. Louis runs one, the Booth by Bryant in San Diego is a Model 14 converted to a Model 17, and a Swedish builder, The Fotoautomat, makes new booths as a modified version of it. Seeing a 1967 original in the Garage is seeing the template.
That same Swedish builder estimates there may be fewer than 100 working analog photo booths of this kind left in the world. It is their estimate, not ours, and we cannot check it. But even if it is off by half, two vintage cabinets in one Amsterdam room is an unusual concentration, and it is the reason we would send you to the Prinsengracht before Raamsteeg. Sit back from the lens when you use them. Their focus was set for one adult looking straight ahead.
Neither cabinet in the Garage has heard of contactless. Bring coins.
Raamsteeg, the room everyone photographs
Raamsteeg is built around its booths rather than tucking one machine into the corner of a bar, and it is the easier room to drop into on a walk through the centre. Chemical and digital machines stand next to each other, so the strip you leave with depends entirely on which curtain you pulled.
A digital strip prints within a minute and can be reprinted. The chemical one takes a few minutes to drop, arrives damp, and exists exactly once. Both are fine souvenirs. Only one of them is the reason this directory exists, and our guide to mixed booth rooms walks through how to tell them apart from the doorway, using Boothclub as the example. Feed the chemical booth first and use the wait.
What our records cannot confirm
Boothclub’s own locations page is a map drawn by JavaScript, with no address text behind it. Our crawler fetched it with an ordinary browser signature and got back the navigation and nothing else, so we have not taken a single fact from it, and we will not guess at what the pins say.
That leaves one loose end. A third address, Analogue at Zeedijk 80, was grouped with Boothclub in a search summary we could not trace back to a page we could read. We list Analogue as its own booth, marked analog and cash, and we do not claim it as a Boothclub room. If you know which way that goes, tell us.
Hours are the other gap. Two Boothclub rows in our directory have disagreed about them, which is why neither this page nor the FAQ below gives a time. Open the listing on the day you go.
Fitting both rooms into a day
The two rooms are well under half an hour apart on foot, through the canal ring, which makes a morning of it rather than a day. Start at the Garage while the chemistry is fresh, then walk back toward the Singel for Raamsteeg. If you still have coins left after that, the Hoxton on Herengracht is close by and is the one Amsterdam booth in our directory whose listing says it takes cards.
For a longer route, our photobooth Amsterdam walk strings both Boothclub rooms together with the Zeedijk pair and the booths across the water in Noord. The Amsterdam photo booth guide lists every machine we hold in the city, and if you want to know what the letters on a cabinet mean before you go, start with our photo booth machine models and the checks in how to spot a real analog photo booth.
Frequently asked questions
How many Boothclub locations are there in Amsterdam?
Two that we can confirm: Boothclub Amsterdam at Raamsteeg 2 and Boothclub Garage at Prinsengracht 673. A third address has been linked to the operator in one search summary, but we could not verify it, so we do not count it.
Which Boothclub has the vintage photo booths?
The Garage, on the Prinsengracht. Our record has a Model 12 from the 1958 to 1964 production run and a Model 17 built in 1967 there. Raamsteeg mixes chemical and digital machines but is not the room people mean when they talk about the old cabinets.
What are Boothclub Amsterdam’s opening hours?
Check the listing on the day. Two Boothclub rows in our directory have disagreed about hours, so we keep them on the listing pages, where they can be corrected, rather than repeating a figure here that might be wrong.
Before you go
Booth Beacon tracks 1,349 booths across 29 countries. A cabinet from 1967 can be waiting on a part for weeks, so read the listing before you set off.
