Botel
A botel is a boat that serves as a hotel or hostel.[1][2] The word is a portmanteau of boat and hotel.
Botels may range from small[1] or larger[3] purpose-built or converted boats or other watercraft, to converted ships.[2] They may be permanently moored[2] or grounded,[3] or spend part of the year taking guests on tours.[1]
