The hotel was ideally situated and looking directly onto the harbour. The room was very clean but a bit small however for a two day stay it wasn’t much of a problem. The bed was big and very comfortable. The lady at the reception desk was very nice and helpful. A good stay.

great location and at a great price

1st visit to La Rochelle, 2 nights. Excellent choice of hotel. Hotel reception is on 1st floor within a parade of restaurants and shops, all of which were busy and buzzing from about 7pm. Check-in was painless. Room (ours facing the harbour) was clean, quiet and comfortable. Yes it is not massive but perfectly adequate and with two sets of windows, silent. You will not find a bar or restaurant onsite, it is a comfortable place to relax and sleep. Those other things are just steps away outside. Staff (I only saw two) were courteous and friendly. Breakfast if required is not expensive and served in a breakfast room, either indoors or in a small courtyard. We only took one morning for, although not expensive neither was it expansive: cup of tea or coffee, orange juice, a croissant and bread roll (both fresh and nice), butter and jam, bananas or kiwifruit, plain yoghurt. Nothing wrong with that, classic french breakfast I hear you say. True, but the previous hotel we were spoiled with cereals, cheeses, ham, hot eggs, bacon, etc as well as the above. Anyway we utilised a local restaurant the 2nd day. Room air/con individually controlled and chilled, although a bit noisy and I couldn't turn the fan down. Ended up turning off and opening the windows. Super till about 7am when the bin-men arrive outside :) To summarise: a comfortable hotel in a great location. Would book again. P.S. park at 'Vieux Port Ouest', about 10 a day. 5 min walk but google it - it's all one-way streets!
