Great hotel in perfect location . … close to harbour . People with mobility issues may find it a struggle as cobbled street. Staff are super helpful and friendly . Parking at the property . Lovely clean room with all facilities , safe , hairdryer . We had 3 person room - however 3rd person ( daughter) had a closed off area with own door so gave privacy to all parties . Lovely big shower with great water pressure . TV and coffee making machine . Lovely breakfast such a vast range of choice .. perfect !

We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel. Everything was spotless, well organized, and beautifully maintained. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel genuinely appreciated throughout our stay. The complimentary welcome drink was a lovely touch and set the tone for a great experience. The parking facilities were excellent, and the cool underground garage was a real bonus, especially during the warm summer weather. The location is outstanding. Situated right in the heart of the harbour, it is within easy walking distance of the Old Port, restaurants, cafés, shops, and all the main attractions of La Rochelle. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and we would gladly stay here again.
