Testimonials for the N OCTO
Leo Estal, River Baise; August 2016We chose the Octo with a senior member of the party (87 years) in mind. Amongst other things, we liked the outdoor eating area which was all in a level with the bedrooms. (2nd cruise on this boat)
We rate the boat 8/10
We loved the Nature on the river Baise. The bird life and the scenery. Nerac was a beautiful town with riverside restaurants
I'm not sure how I heard about Hotels Afloat, could it be through a mention on Trip advisor
I rate you 10/ 10
Exceedingly prompt, excellent and will certainly book again
Hotels Afloat was extremely helpful in respect of so many things in arranging a floating holiday, eg choice of appropriate boat, information about availability and different cruises, lengths, numbers of locks, nearest airport and train station. It was so helpful to have a single person to be in touch with, and who provided clear answers to my queries in such a prompt manner. I would recommend to anyone wanting to book a floating holiday. Thank you!
