The staff was absolutely great - very friendly, professional and welcoming! - Good location, not far from the famous bridge. - Unique experience - how often can you sleep on the boat?
Overall our stay was really good, especially thanks to the wonderful staff. However, I would like to make a few points and recommendations: - Equipment was overall quite basic, but ok. - Paper walls - we heard everything from the hallway like walking, door slamming or toilet flushing which is really noisy on the boat. Another sounds are made by the boat itself, we also heard the cars from the street. For guests who sleep as bad as me I recommend earplugs. - We would appreciate some fresh fruit or vegetable at breakfast.

A unique lovely old boat to stay on very close to centre of Avignon, its bridge and all attractions. We had an excellent good value evening meal on board, though the menu was fixed for the 2 nights we stayed, with only 2 choices. Room overlooked the river and was very comfortable with 2 relaxing chairs and table in front of large, opening window/door. We were lucky to be able to park car overnight by the boat, as a 1.5hr stay 8am till 7pm is only allowed. Otherwise a 15 minute walk to free parking after dropping luggage off. Isle d Iot parking less crowded we found, with free bus to nearly centre, as does the Italian one.

Really great to be on a boat so close to the centre of Avignon. Lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very comfortable bed. Plenty of hot water. Great breakfast and complimentary coffee/tea available all day
Access to boat via sat nav misses entrance, which was difficult on a busy road - so had to reverse into the no entry exit, like 3 others arriving at same time. Also, very tight parking as bays are small. We were lucky as there on a Sunday, so free parking all day but usually only 1.5hrs. Le Chardonnay did loan us a blue parking card for the Monday morning.

The hotel is a boat hotel located right next to the Avignon Bridge on the canal. Despite staying on a boat, the room had all the necessary comforts. The beds were large and comfortable. With a river-view room and a seating area, it was perfect for relaxing. Additionally, there were complimentary tea and coffee offerings in the outdoor lounge areas. The reception team was extremely helpful. We also had dinner on the boat, and the food was quite delicious, with very reasonable prices. You can park your car right next to the hotel, but you may need to inform the reception and place a note in your car indicating that you are a hotel guest. As soon as you step out of the hotel, you head directly toward the walls of the Palais des Papes. The city's main center is just 600 meters away.
everything was good. thank you

This was a very special experience. The boat is well situated for sightseeing and going to cafes and restaurants. Although it is close to everything, it was very quiet at night so we slept well.The boat itself has a lot of character and charm. The staff were very friendly and accommodating making our stay a delight. The included breakfast was made up of so many self serve choices that it was hard to choose! All were delicious. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a unique experience.

The whole atmosphere remind you of titanic :-) a bit old school but really cozy and comfy! It was clean and the staff was excellent. Location is very good, just a few minute walk away from the cut center. Breakfast was good, great variety.
It could get a makeover! There needs to be put some work into it to bring it back to a real jewel. So the four star ranking is a bit confusing - I would say more of a three star. The AC didn’t work well, it was really humid and sticky (but it was about 35 degrees outside the whole day)

The staff support was exceptional. They allowed us to move into a room facing the water instead of the noisy traffic, and while that room only had two small beds, they moved furniture around to make one whole bed for us. Some of the staff also work the nearby small ferry that crosses the Rhone and therefore know about it's daily functioning. The room was pleasant too, having a large sliding window and refurbished bathroom. They are great people, which can be rare to find in touristic Mediterranean cities.
It was all great and acceptable.

I loved it! It is a lovely little boat just outside of the old city walls -- so super close to the city center but outside enough to not have any noise during the night. The staff was exceptionally friendly, the rooms very spacious, the beds comfy. Really noting negative to say! Amazing value for money!
The only thing was that the coffee machine for breakfast could be better. But honestly, even that you can forgive during this amazing stay.

The idea of using a river boat as a hotel is great. The cabin was spacious with two armchairs and a table on top of the beds. Toilet and shower were separate and also spacious, The open deck at the top excellent for sunbathing or enjoying warm evenings. The location excellent and the full breakfast included in the price very good
I can not find something negative. Everything was ok

Great option for something different when staying overnight in Avignon. The cabins are clean, pretty spacious, and have an old school charm. Beds are surprisingly comfortable, and the surrounding area is very quiet. Breakfast was basic, but good.
They could do much more with the common area's and something more inviting on the top deck. This would be a great spot.
