The space:

Hello and welcome to my home at Excelsior BnB!
I'd like to invite you to my recently renovated houseboat and be one of my first guests. After an exciting time or extensive refurbishment, I'm thrilled to finally open my doors for you!
So if you're looking for an authentic stay in Amsterdam, you've come to the right place.

This eco-friendly houseboat is ideally located in the Zeeheldenbuurt, at a quiet place in the 'Oude Houthaven'. It has stunning views over the IJ water and Amsterdam North and is within walking distance of the city center (8 minutes).

Staying at my boat will make a contribution to the environment. By heating through a sustainable water heat pump, the houseboat uses 5x less energy, emits no CO² and does not burn fossil fuels.

The 40 sqm private studio room is equipped with everything you need. It has a comfy king size bed (180 x 200) with crisp, white sheets and window ceilings above your head to gaze at the stars.
Start your day with a Nespresso in the relaxing sofa and settle down in your life at sea.

The ensuite bathroom has a bath with stunning views over the harbor, a separate shower and luxurious bathroom amenities from Marie-Stella-Maris.
This room has a separate toilet.

We offer free Wi-Fi in the entire accommodation, use of bed linens, and towels.

When we arrived, the key wasn’t in the key safe. Arie quickly answered our call and upgraded us to another room, which was great! It’s truly an experience to remember to sleep in a boat house. Loved the view and quietness. It’s a 20 minute walk by the water to Centraal Station. With a rented bike, it took less than 5 minutes and it is the best way to get around in my opinion. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Stay

Super cool property, nice quiet spot to stay, super unique and cool. Comfy bed and big bath tub with a view of the water while you bath. Loved going out on the deck and having my coffee with the sunrise. Everyone I ran into was super friendly. Very quite area and good spot to get a good nights rest, while also only 20 minute walk from all the fun night life. I would definitely stay here again, perfect Amsterdam experience. Host is super easy to get a long with also, made check in experience beyond easy.

House barge studio

While we enjoyed our 2 night stay and the host was very responsive, we have to be clear about our experience. The “houseboat” is more like a barge and has 3 apartments on it. We stayed in the studio. The location is not what we expected, thinking we would be within a 15 minute walk to the center of Amsterdam but it was more like a 15 minute car or bus ride, plus a walk. There wasn’t much of a selection of dining options within a close proximity. The space was very nice; clean and recently renovated.
