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.

Un très bel hôtel bien situé. La chambre est grande, propre et confortable. La cour arrière entourée de verdure permet de prendre une pause dans un beau décor. Il est facile de se stationner dans le stationnement payant situé à une rue.

Really beautiful hotel in a great area. Our room was quiet and spacious, and the bed was really comfortable. High ceilings, discrete decor and well appointed bathroom. The car park was a public one, about 200 meters away from the hotel, but was reasonably priced and very secure.

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
