Great hotel

Lovely hotel in the heart of La Rochelle. We had a room in the annexe which was good because at the time there were extensive renovations taking place to the exterior of the main building which was shrouded in green fabric. Internally it was renovated I believe last year to a very high standard and was modern whilst retaining many original features. Parking available on site is a must, at an extra cost, but is well worth the charge. Breakfast was plentiful and very busy but we always managed to get a good table. The staff were all extremely efficient and although their English was better than our French, they let us persevere in French, at our request. Lots of good restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. Really can’t fault this hotel. We would definitely book again on future visits.

This has to be the nicest hotel in La Rochelle!! The staff, day and night, were very helpful and super nice! The hotel was redone a year ago, and it shows! The rooms are so beautifully appointed and modern! The location is perfect, four minutes walk to the Vieux Port and city center. They have a few things for dinner, which was very convenient (and good!) for our late (ish) arrival. They have several parking spots for guests, which again, was very convenient. Loved, loved this hotel!!

I had a room upgrade for some reason, to one of the rooms at the top. It had a sloping roof but was spacious and had a cosy seating area. The place was modern, clean, quiet and well-furnished and looked like a sympathetically converted established building in a plum location. They have water fountains on each corridor to cut down on plastic bottles. The breakfast was a proper one, with hot options like bacon, eggs and beans. Staff were extremely attentive though my only reservation was that despite my telling them on check-in that it would not be necessary to come in and check if I had enough coffee sachets on my tray, they did. And at the same time they put back on the bed the pile of unnecessary cushions, the removal of which is the first thing I do in any hotel. Who needs that many anyway? I got the impression that they had other motives for coming in to the room and it felt a little intrusive. But I couldn't fault it otherwise and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Good Stay

Beautiful hotel in very central location for exploring La Rochelle. Clean and nicely renovated room with comfortable bed. The hotel parking was a big plus for us. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The only negatives were that it was very noisy outside our room particularly on one night. I think we were unlucky with the side of the hotel our room was on. There was also only a very thin curtain so light came through in h the morning. Overall we were very happy with the stay.
