Central & Modern studio on Eco-Houseboat!

A beautiful, bright and private studio room situated in a recently renovated Amsterdam eco-houseboat. It has an en suite bathroom and stunning view over the IJ water. Located in the city center, nearby the famous 'Jordaan' area.

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.

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.

Amazing Experience
I wanted somewhere special for my Girlfriends 30th birthday and this was the place. It was Amazing, seemed newly renovated, clean and in the perfect location. Quiet, walkable to the city center and easy access to the bus/trams to get to the Centraal station. The area was quiet and peaceful with nearby cafes/restaurants. BAK was amazing and right next door, recommend reservations. I don't have anything negative to say although there were other people staying on the boat at the same time we did not hear them much. The room was big and nice with amazing ambiance and lighting. Definitely the highlight of staying in Amsterdam for my girlfriend was the house boat. The port holes open up for a nice view of boats passing by. Would definitely stay here again if I was in Amsterdam, the location was perfect.

Boat House Experience
This was my first time in Amsterdam and first stay on a house boat. Arie was an amazing host! Gréât view of water and sunsets The space was spotless and well equipped . Arie’s communication was exceptional ! He was also very thoughtful. I apparently slept through a rare thunderstorm during my stay. 5 Stars for structural support and safety! The only downside to my stay was I didn’t rent a bike in West Amsterdam . So I had to Uber or walk . I would definitely suggest a bike rental as the center can be a long walk for someone who doesn’t walk much. Thank You Arie. !

Lovely and unique stay!
I'm so glad we booked this property for our trip to Amsterdam! It's a short walk to the 48 bus stop which can take you to and from the Centraal station so it's easy to get to the heart of the city but the neighborhood itself is quiet. The room is just a good size bedroom and a bathroom but had everything we needed! Communication with Arie was great and he gave perfect directions to get there (even though my jet lag kept me from following them perfectly, lol) My husband and I were so glad to have found a place with a true King size bed so we didn't feel cramped sleeping. I hope we can make it back to visit again!

Almost perfect
This is a studio dorm apartment with no kitchen, and one bathroom (not two like the description says). It is one of two units off of the hallway, and there a small common area that has the couch and microwave (these are not in the unit like the pictures make it seem). The pictures make it seam like there is a lot more to the unit than there actually is. The stairs are just how you get down into the boat, it is not a multi-level unit. Also, make sure you try to get into the correct lock box for your keys. If the code the host gives you does not work, try the other lockbox. That being said, this is still a very beautiful place, just maybe a bit more expensive for what you get. Feels recently renovated with a gorgeous bathroom and massive tub. Portholes can be opened to hear the harbor's noise to add to the vibe.
