Bateau Hôtel Le Chardonnay

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.

Location Wifi didn’t work unless you were in common areas on the top floor. Low ceilings. The taxi they called to get us to the gate was sneaky and charged twice the regular amount.

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.

The rooms were musty and there were many water rats running around outside this boat-hotel docked on the quay.

Location and the river view is unbeatble. Rooms is in good size considering is it in a boat. A very fun experience to stay over night in a boat.

So unique of a stay with a beautiful view of the River. The room is small but comfortable and has charm. There are plenty of places to relax on the boat. It’s right next to the old city. The breakfast was good but some of the pastries did not taste as if they came fresh from a bakery.

A quiet oasis to return at day’s end and an incredible view to wake up to. The breakfast room was spacious with the most relaxing view of the Rhône to enjoy a cup of coffee

Nothing!

Cool experience being on a river boat. Enjoyed having a glass of rose on the terrace lounge area of the roof of the boat. The room was very tight for space and the mattresses were just barely comfortable enough. The breakfast was very good. The best part was the staff were very friendly and helpful. I love the location to access the town and sights.

Price value very good I did Not Like the room because it was downstairs, without big windows as there were rooms number 20, 22 and 24 with a big window. For the price I would recommend but only upstairs!

The staff went beyond their duties to make us welcomed.

The bar/food area was notmopen in the evening.

Funky floating hotel located in a great location. Reasonably priced. Fun and different experience with a nice lounge area where you can have a drink and see the river. The parking was difficult and the road next to the river was hard to access. You need to embrace the small cabin with twin bunks.

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. Nothing

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

Nice location on the river Room was small, but it's in a boat what would you expect?

Passable

The location is amazing, the breakfast was very good. The staff was supper. Nothing

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.

Great location, excellent food, fantastic staff!
