Nice conversion of a river boat to a floating hotel, refreshingly different from your standard hotel. Close to the city.
Comfortable lounge areas to use on the boat, even decks of cards provided for the guests. Nice breakfast.
The quay was just along a heavy-trafficked road, quite noisy all night.
The air heat pumps in our room gave only ~27 degrees heat, no matter the setting (selectable between 10 -30 degrees), so impossible to keep the room at nice 18-20 degrees temperature.
The floors were leaning. (Yes, I get it, it's a boat, but rather inconvenient when the shower water stays in one corner and does not empty into the drain,,,)
Almost impossible to lawfully drive to the quay, almost 100% of cars we saw took the illegal 'reverse-in' via the one-way exit instead.

Very nice idea to stay on a boat, we loved it. Location is generally very close to the Palais and Pont Benezet, also a reasonable walking distance from the Avignon Centre railway station (~20-25 min).
This is not about the hotel but to reach it as pedestrian can be a bit tricky - there's a main road with very busy traffic along the river.

Great location
It advertises as having parking but it does not. It needs a remodelling, kind of run down. Definitely not 4 stars

It was quirky to be on a floating hotel. Nice to sit up on the deck in the sunshine although deck furniture could be better.
No hot water, luke warm at best. Despite a full cooked breakfast being offered online there was no sign of it. I fully understand that they do not want to waste food but there were no menu cards for us to choose a hot breakfast from, it was almost as though they didn’t want us to have one! Had to ask for a hair dryer, they only had a couple left which I shared with another cabin!

Great fun and wonderful views. Staff were great, the girl on reception was a star.
All good thanks.

It was well situated, being alongside the quay opposite the old city. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

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)

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.

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

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.

The idea of sleeping on a boat
I didn’t want leave a bad review so I a gave it 8 as a score which I think is fairley high, unfortunately I didn’t have a plasent stay. During the booking process there was the option to book a room with two single beds or a double bed, and I picked the double bad option. After my reservation I received the confirmation that my request was accomodated, unfortunately I realised at my arrival the double bed was literally two signle bed with their own individual set of sheets adjur to each other, so I wasn’t able to enjoy the idea of double bed even if I wanted. I can image why the hotel/boat would provide the option but I would notify the person booking about the limitation. Tne actual aspect that didn’t let me enjoy my stay was the air conditioning. Both of the two units, one above the bed and the other above a couch area emitted warm air, and even after repotting to reception there was nothing that they could do. I had to sleep with the window open and been on the cabin adjacent to the road the constant passing car kept me awake through out the night, so didn’t get much sleep unfortunately.

Magnífic hotel per visitar Avignon. Situat al marge esquerra del Rhône, a tocar de les muralles de la vila. Amb una excel·lent combinació de transport urbà gratuït a pocs metres del vaixell. A tot el seu interior es viu una sensació de pau exquisida. Pots arribar-t'hi a sentir com dins d'una novel·la d'Agatha Christie tot esperant veure l'inefable Hercules Poirot aparèixer pel teu darrera. Menjador amb piano de cua, cutaques regència, tapissats endomassats, un personal amb una atenció exquisida, que sembla coneixer-te des del moment de l'arribada. Les vistes sobre el riu des de la cambra estant, són màgiques. Una experiència a viure.
L'accès amb vehicle particular presenta algunes dificultats si no es coneix l'espai. Els navegadors tradicionals no indiquen quin és l'accès al moll.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour sur ce bateau-hôtel amarré sur le Rhône ! Les propriétaires ainsi que tout le personnel sont d’une gentillesse remarquable, toujours disponibles et prêts à rendre service. Les cabines sont propres et confortables L’emplacement du bateau est idéal, proche du centre, ce qui permet de profiter pleinement des alentours.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux, varié .
Une expérience originale et chaleureuse que nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Heel sympathiek en behulpzaam personeel. Goede bedden en ontbijt met fijn zicht op het water en de andere oever.
We hadden een kamer met zicht op de stad, maar dat is eigenlijk zicht op de drukke ring rond Avignon. Je moet dus zeker een kamer vragen aan de waterkant! De 4 sterren bij Booking zijn echt overdreven.

Le cadre! Bon rapport qualité-prix.
La chambre n'est pas "haut de gamme", mais cela est compensé par le cadre inhabituel!

We had a nice room with "water view" and opening big window + porthole on the upper deck (vs the below decks had only portholes). It truly felt like we were cruising on the water. The common aeras are very cosy !
Breakfast was nice too, with fresh bread, toast bread, croissants / and other pastries.
The staff is the best, very polite and helpful !
Parking spots exists near the boat, but not an easy access as it's off-road. Few parking slots available and they are public.
However, if you find a spot, it is free if you put an "hour-disk". The staff could change the "hour-disk" if you want to leave the car for more time.
There is also a public free parking available 15-min away walk ("parking des italiens").

Cet Hôtel sur un bateau a vraiment beaucoup de charme, les chambres sont agréables et bien équipées, le buffet du petit-déjeuner impeccable. Le parking gratuit à proximité. L'accueil et la chaleur du personnel est à souligner. Tout cela à deux pas des remparts de la ville. Nous avons su que le bateau allait faire l'objet d'un réaménagement de plusieurs mois avant une réouverture au printemps complètement rénové. Une occasion unique d'allier l'utile, l'agréable à l'insolite.

Nette, etwas ungewöhnliche Unterkunft in toller Lage.
Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal
Man muss sich klarmachen, dass die Unterkunft ein ehemaliges Flusskreuzfahrtschiff ist und die Kabinen einschließlich der Sanitärbereiche etwas enger sind als bei einem regulären Hotelzimmer und zum Beispiel eine der beiden Personen das Doppelbett über das Fußende besteigen muss. Nicht wirklich negativ - man muss es nur wissen

Monter à bord d’un bateau au lieu d’un hôtel en plein centre est quand même magique. Le bateau a un charme incroyable. L’intérieure tout en bois nous fait voyager en 1900. Il nous offre réveil sur le Rhône calme et apaisant. Confortable On y dort très bien. Le patron et son personnel sont adorables.
Il faut se préparer aux petits aléas de dormir sur un bateau.

Insolito e sorprendente pernottare in battello attraccato sul Rodano. Parcheggio sulla banchina, comodissimo.Posizione ottima per incamminarsi e visitare la cittadina a piedi. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Cabine confortevoli, ampie pulite. Toilette disposta a doppio servizio, utile se siamo più di due.
WiFi debole nel piano inferiore.

Accueil, dépaysement en plein centre d'Avignon et à deux pas du célèbre pont ! Cabine avec vue sur le Rhône, du confort et de l'espace dans la chambre, sur la terrasse du bateau et au restaurant. Très bon petit-déjeuner et le personnel est vraiment très sympa.
Rien, juste des petites coupures d'électricité et pas de lumière côté douche.

Bardzo miła obsługa, czysto. Elegancka sala gdzie jedliśmy śniadanie z piękną muzyką w tle.
Jeżeli ktoś bardzo chce mieć widok na miasto i lub rzekę to może się zdziwić ponieważ my mieliśmy w oknie widok na betonowy brzeg portowy. Nam to na szczęście nie przeszkadzało.
