Our host was very helpful and friendly. The boat is in a convenient location and while the cabin was small it was comfortable.

Rooms were a bit small, but expected on a boat.

The location is great, almost like a hideaway from the bustling red light district which is a 5 minute walk away. The host, Captain Chango is an amazing individual and made ot feel like home. The rooms are small as you'd expect on a boat, but shower and bathroom were super clean and everything works as it would at home. There is a large lounge area to hang out, and Chango is always there to help out, give advice and quickly becomes and old friend. Great experience overall.

Lack of WiFi.

Cabin a little cramped for 2 adults. Not sure what I expected. You certainly need to get on well with your travelling partner as there is little chance of privacy or your own space. Don’t like the fact you can’t sit upright in bed but again that’s my ignorance…. It IS a houseboat afterall.

The novelty of staying on a houseboat. Just felt the right thing to do in Amsterdam. Very central and an easy walk from the train station.

Pretty far from the grocery stores, no mini fridge to store snacks. In the winter you have to be pretty careful while walking up to the boat since there are no rails on the wooden path on the water and it can be slippery.

the room was very cozy and got warm very fast (used heater). the owner was very friendly and helpful:) Not far from the main station.

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!

It was super cold while we were there so the walk to sights was a little long. In other weather it would have been no big deal at all! More a comment than a criticism. Taxis were easy to get when needed.

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)

Minor point, but shower gell in the room would be great.

Great host, perfect location for the city.

Rooms are small but it’s part of the experience. The bathroom though is decently sized! Some facilities in the room are missing, i.e., hair dryer, kettle, and toilet essentials. However, towels are provided.

Great stay for a unique experience on Amsterdam canals. Super convenient, quiet yet safe location. Helpful & friendly host.

Awesome experience and great alternative to a hotel for a "different experience".

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.

Django’s hospitality ,the quieteness in the night , the price

Stayed in October 2022

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.

Stayed in October 2022

I don't have any complaints. Everything was fantastic. In my next trip to Amsterdam I will be sure to stay in Elodie again

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.

Stayed in October 2022

I personally prefer more in the center so that we can go to the hotel before going to dinner

it is a change to a hotel

Out host - chango - was very welcoming and helpful with the added help of Easy the dog.

Going home!

Chango & Easy are lovely friendly welcoming hosts. Super comfy beds & warm cosy cabin. Hot clean shower. Quiet and relaxing location. Close to everything. We cannot recommend this accommodation enough!

On the first impression, sleeping room seemed really small (one side of the bed had a low ceiling), but once we had settled in we were impressed how well-thought everything was designed and how much storage room the cabins had, the boot and the cabins look very simple, but we slept very comfortably and can understand the amazing reviews.

Well-located near the main station in a very quiet area (it is a nice 15 min walk), Starbucks, supermarket(s) and several breakfast option within a 10 min walk), city center is also easily reachable with walking only. We liked to sit on the deck and enjoyed our little cabin too. The captain is known to be really welcoming and lived up to those descriptions here! He was always available when we had a question or a need. We were afraid it would be noisy on board but it wasn't even though the boat was fully booked while we were there.

Stayed in October 2022

We really did love everything! Chango is the nicest host you could possibly have, the room was super comfortable and clean, and the location is at walking distance from the city centre. All the great reviews this little boat hotel has received are certainly well deserved!

Sometimes the internet connection was not good, but believe me it is not as important as you think.

Chango is a super host. He is a very friendly and helpful. I am pretty sure that you love him. Our room is very comfortable and clean. The location is amazing, very close to the city center. To sum up, it was a good experience. Thanks Chango!

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.
