An excellent holiday and service overall, Emma's recommendations were perfect and she answered all of our questions promptly. We hope to return for another trip next year.
ELLIOTT ★★★★★
The boat was as expected; clean, tidy and ready when we arrived. The Lot itself is such a beauriful area with stunning views and quiet moorings. Well worth a visit (after rainfall!). Will definitely book with Hotels Afloat again, and will recommend you.
KING ★★★★
We really enjoyed our boat. The full-size refrigerator made ice-making and cooking very pleasurable, and that was a big part of our trip. Emma was a great agent to work with and answered my questions. , we will be back for a longer float next time and thank you.
Pierose ★★★★★
We like the layout of the Penichette 1180FB, one toilet per cabin and no equipment failures.
Donald Elliot. Germany
Hotels Afloat is an excellent agent for Locaboat, and Emma is a pleasure to work with.
Would book again.
The cruise was so wonderful, despite a few glitches! Don't think we'll ever do a self-drive again, as we're getting up there in years, but would definitely do another cruise if someone else was doing all the work! It was a once in a lifetime experience and the most beautiful, pristine scenery I've seen in France, so far!
Cynthia B; Midi September 2021
The boat was as expected. Appreciated it's size. I rate it 8/10
Stuart Ritter, Canal du Centre; May 2017
We cruised on the Canal du Centre... easy to deal with the locks
We rate Hotels Afloat 10/10 for attention to details and will book again.
We are now home from a wonderful trip and I want to thank you for all your help. Please feel free to use me as a reference if you are asked.

Locaboat did a very good job. Our boat was certainly comfortable and well-appointed.
The direction we went (largely downstream) was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone wanting this trip.
The cruise was so wonderful, got to see some places that have been on our “bucket list” for years! Emma was a dream to coordinate our trip, especially through the perils of COVID days. She set up Zoom meetings for us and communicated regularly over the plus two years it took to bring this experience to fruition. It was a once in a lifetime experience and the most beautiful, pristine scenery I‘ve ever seen in France. We would highly recommend using Hotels Afloat to anyone looking for a truly unique experience!
