A nice welcome at the property and the room was large and facilities fine. The first floor outside the room was fairly dark with litttle lighting, this did make the trip from top of the stairs to the room a little difficult, especially having come in from a very bright day. Breakfast was fine, although the same everyday. The bar was not always manned, with bar staff often doing other tasks and causing long waits. Some bar staff would attend to people at tables outside, others would not, meaning a walk to the bar. Finding the hotel was a problem as despite the car having Sat-Nav, La Rochelle does not seem to like the motor car and one-way streets meant getting close and then forcing you away, also the SatNav did not know about 'rising bollards' that prevent access to exactly where you want to go. Once we found the Place du Verdun car park, where we could abandon the car and walk a block, we were fine. The price of parking was reasonable.

We really liked this hotel. Location was pretty central and there is a public car park very close by. All the staff were very lovely. Breakfast was good. We were given a room upgrade to one with a balcony, which was great. The walk to the seafront wasn't too far. The only suggestion was that it would have been nice for the hotel to have made more use of its courtyard garden (maybe some outdoor lights for the evening). Overall a lovely hotel and we had a very good stay.

Really lovely old hotel in a quiet spot just outside La Rochelle’s old town. Everything’s within walking distance, which made it very convenient. Our room on the second floor was big, clean, and comfortable, with a street view. The garden out back is a great place to relax. We didn’t use the spa or restaurant, but the reception staff were helpful throughout our stay.

Wonderful stay

Great central location. Comfy bed. Fantastic friendly staff without exception. Extremely welcoming and great touch of dog bowls and biscuits. Some TLC needed in parts but overall stunning. Amazing breakfast for a celiac. The only drawback is no onsite secure parking but there is plentiful public parking only 90 seconds walk away.

classed as a four start which is stretching a little - although clean and resnably comfortable the room we had really didnt live up to a four star hotel room - a shower over a very narrow bath, the shower itself was a trickle and the towels nearly threadbare and very thin. The bed was in an alcove of sorts and quite difficult to move around it. parking was offsite, quite close but a public carpark

Pretty good - great location

First time to La Rochelle - had to use a public car park but it's just a street away. Off season so a skeleton staff - friendly and good English- but tiny part-time bar and expensive breakfast we didn't try. Had a nice terrace over looking a garden that was a touch... post apocalyptic- but it was quiet and the room we had all we needed. Lovely spacious building and very nicely located.

The hotel is conveniently located near to the bus terminal so making it ideal for arrival & departure from airport. We loved the central location with everything a short stroll away incl shops, cafes & quay etc. Staff were very welcoming & helpful when needed. Our room was lovely, big, quiet, clean & serviced regularly. Thank you for a lovely stay & we will definitely be booking again for our future visits to La Rochelle
