The hotel is very well located and the staff is friendly and helpful. They should indicate that the closest parking is at Place de Verdun, so you can go there directly instead of getting lost in the small streets and fighting with signage that doesn’t match your GPS. The rooms are very small and the bathroom tiny. You’d expect more from Ibis for the price…

Good location for visiting the town on foot and for getting buses both into town and to Ile de Ré, airport, etc - the main bus transport hub, Place de Verdun, is 2 mins walk away. Room was clean, hotel was quiet (my room was at the back overlooking a courtyard, but the street at the front is quiet too, not much traffic as it's a side street, not a main road), staff were efficient. I was travelling solo and had a standard double room - fine for one person but would have been a bit of a squeeze for two. Bathroom was very small. No minibar or coffee/tea making facility but they do 24 hour room service on a reasonably priced basic food and drink menu.

Lovely basic hotel

Went to La Rochelle to watch a rugby match (we lost!). Hotel basic, but clean and friendly. Room small, but had everything we wanted except no way to make a light night drink. Breakfast extra, but worth it. Parking about 150m away in underground parking, cheap and secure. La Rochelle is charming, and the people very friendly. There was a Christmas market in the nearby square, which was interesting, and really shows how much of a "Rugby town" it is - all the stalls were flying the colours of the local Rugby team, and there were beers featuring players of the team on the labels. The local museum is virtually opposite. Although our room was right over the hotel entrance, it was really quiet at night.
