We surprised our 20 and 22 year old with this Botel. They loved it! It was unique and very cozy. Nice “living room” to have tea and coffee since the rooms are bunk style. While a bunk style room is small our London hotel wasn’t much bigger haha, and we thought all the details were great- places to stash things, a towel warmer etc. We found the beds to be very firm and comfortable. Chango is a wonderful host and we enjoyed many conversations. He was so helpful! All of us loved “coming home” at the end of the cold day, having tea and chatting with Chango before heading back out. perfect place to wrap up our trip. (The inside photo is from the perspective of sitting on the bed and looking toward the bathroom door)

We had a wonderful stay at Botel Elodie. Fabulous location a short walk from the train station, near NEMO Science Center, and the Maritime Museum. The host was extremely friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. Super clean rooms with comfortable beds. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Melissa United States of America

I like the host chango and the dog easy. The room, beds and bathroom were very clean. Chango allowed us early check in without any extra cost. He kept out baggages after checkout for some time. He allowed us to use his kitchen. We didn't know our hotel is a boat until we reached there. It was a nice experience.

Captain Django was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, helped us find locate what we wanted to visit, made us feel at home. Its a fun experience to spend the night on a boat. The boat is centrally located yet quiet.

Uta United States of America

Great location. Wonderful hosts. Cozy cabin, and welcoming dining area.

Florin United States of America

The whole experiente of sleeping on a boat is awesome (and actually way more comfortable than I initially thought). Of course rooms are small, but they serve the purpose!

Sebastiano United Kingdom

It was one of the most pleasant hotel experiences I've ever had. Captain is really kind, interesting and overall an amazing person. Room for 3ppl was cozy, comfortable, clean and had everything that you need: shower with hot water, toilet, couple of closets, safe, sockets and soft beds. Location is probably one of the best you could get, just near Maritime museum and close to the center.
