It is a pleasant hotel although only 2 star. Well maintained. Well located close to old port. Only problem was lack of air conditioning so room unbearably hot (we stayed during the heatwave)

Unassuming but well kept hotel
This was a last minute booking after a busy cycling day, and it was like an oasis for me. They have a closed patio where you can safely park your bike. I loved the original decoration of the hotel and the room, and the extremely welcoming staff. Breakfast was simple but good. Location was awesome, at walking distance of everything.

Excellent location. Very helpful friendly staff - without exception. The concierge, Karim, told about the free car parking which is a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Hotel and not only is completely safe it saves you a fortune in parking fees. Top tip - ask for a room at the back of the hotel if you are a light sleeper.

Perfect for a short break.
A quirky hotel with styling going back to the seventies. Friendly staff, we were able to check in early as our rooms were ready which made life a lot easier. The bedrooms are a bit tired but comfortable with a balcony overlooking a courtyard, ideal if you are there in summer months. The hotel is well located to explore the old port of La Rochelle and about a 20 minute walk from rugby stadium. Public parking at the top of the street and a market at the other end. Slight mistake with bill at checkout but resolved satisfactorily.

A convenient small hotel, inconsiderate staff
The hotel is well situated in La Rochelle, and very handy for the town and the harbour. The reception was friendly and efficient, and the room clean and reasonably comfortable. I do feel that a hand held shower is not adequate, however. But the hotel suited us, as it was only for a single night as a rest and a break from the driving north. Imagine our dismay, then, when what appeared to be a staff dinner and birthday party was in full swing when we returned from our meal at around 10.30pm. There were around two dozen guests, loud music and a lot of cheering and singing. The noise went on until well after midnight, and kept my partner awake till around 1am. Not great when you have a long drive in front of you the following day. We tried to shut the noise out, but even with the shutters closed, the windows shut and pillows over our heads, you could still hear the noise. And to cap it all, breakfast was wholly inadequate. Stewed coffee, no orange juice, stale pastries - I could go on.

Great location, great price
We stayed here for one night on a road trip with our 3 kids. The room was a great size and we slept fine with the kids all in one bed (rooms with enough beds for five are hard to find!). There was no air conditioning which made the room a tad hot at night, but the daytime temp had only gotten up to 75 F/25 C, so it wasn't so bad. If it were hotter it could have been worse. The windows had shutters which made it nice and dark to sleep in. The shower was a little small and it took a really long time for hot water to arrive in the pipes, but it finally did and was fine. The absolute best thing about the hotel is the location. It was only a 10 min walk down to the old port where all the restaurants are, a block from the Cathedral (where there is an awesome 2 story carosels), and a block to the big public market. Last but not least the breakfast was awesome. The kids were free and adults only pay 7.50 euro. Definitely worth it!

Quirky and friendly hotel
Although some of the decoration in this hotel is a bit tired, it added to the charm of the place - a beautiful building on a lovely road our windows opened out onto the street - and because of electronic shutters, the room was quiet at night.

Nice & quiet hotel in city centre
Very pleasant lady at reception , when inquired online about car parks I received instant information. One small thing, could do with curtains in room, just net curtains, although no one could see in, just to prevent outside light in the room

Great location, on an attractive street in the centre, a few paces from the market and within easy walking distance of the harbour. Friendly, welcoming staff. Room basic but clean and comfortable, although bathroom could have done with refurb. Reasonably priced, would be happy to stay there again.

Plutôt déçu
Nous avions réservé un hôtel que nous connaissions bien. En arrivant, un écriteau nous demande d’appeler un numéro. Nous devons aller dans l’hôtel d’à côté car le propriétaire est décédé. Même en étant sur-sur-classé, le confort ne fut pas le même. Malgré tout, les hôtes ont fait le maximum pour que nous y soyons bien. C’était tout de même un peu bizarre !!!

Globalement très bien
Très chaleureux accueil et très gentil personnel. Très confortable lit. La chambre n’a pas de vue sur la ville donc ce détail sur Hôtels . com est faux. Il n’y a pas d’ascenseur, on a bien galéré avec nos valises. Très bonne adresse à côté des jolies Halles. Jolie cour où on peut se poser pour lire, fumer, etc. En arrivant le monsieur à l’accueil a annulé notre réservation sur le site pour qu’on le paye direct qui était moins cher.

Emplacement idéal et personnel au top
Emplacement idéal dans le coeur historique de la ville. L'équipe de réception est super et nous a conseillé des visites et restaurants. La chambre est assez spacieuse, dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de clim (toutefois l'hôtel fournit un ventilateur en chambre qui fait le job). Attention en revanche il n'y a pas de parking directement à l'hôtel, il faut se garer dans les parkings publics à proximité. Nous reviendrons pour un futur séjour avec plaisir!
