Publisher's Summary
The Grand Budapest Hotel in space, Floating Hotel is a hopeful story of misfits, rebels and found family, perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Martha Wells and Aliette de Bodard.
Welcome to the Grand Abeona Hotel: home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. Year round it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the furthest reaches of the milky way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury - and a magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as:
Why are there love poems in the lobby intray?
How many Imperial spies are currently on board?
What is the true purpose of the Problem Solver's conference?
And perhaps most pertinently - who is driving the ship?
At the centre of these mysteries stands Carl, one time stowaway, longtime manager, devoted caretaker to the hotel. It's the love of his life and the only place he's ever called home. But as forces beyond Carl's comprehension converge on the Abeona, he has to face one final question: when is it time to let go?

Great concept and setting but
But afterwards 4 chapters I was still waiting for the point, what’s it really about.
Not sure why but I didn’t get into it. Perhaps I should have given it more time.
Great conversation and setting

Loved this story and narration was perfect.
I loved this story so much. It was perfectly cosy, going into just the right amount of background for the different characters, leaving you wanting more of their stories, yet still managing to move you along. I want to highlight the narrator did an amazing job, handling all the separate voices perfectly yet not overly done. I will be thinking about the Abeona and her crew for a long time to come. This one is going in my favourites.

Surprisingly great
Initially I kept wondering if I was enjoying this story. By the end I did tremendously. The narration and representation of characters was perfect. An enjoyable read and portrayal of loyalty and legacy,
