The Betaniënklooster can be reached by a short walk from Amsterdam Central Station or by an even shorter walk from the Nieuwmarkt underground terminal.

Parking is a nuisance in the city centre of Amsterdam. There are some car parks available in the vicinity of the Bethaniënklooster, but you are probably better off using public transport.
