Generally a good s

The room was quite comfortable and the staff were all welcoming and lovely. Two issues: the pool was not very clean (perhaps this was a fluke, but it was full of leaves and even some hair) and the breakfast was fine but felt overpriced at 34 euros each. Can’t beat the location or the quiet, though!

Luxurious little find in La Rochelle

Amazing little find for a short stay in La Rochelle. Small boutique hotel with great service and even better cocktails! We could have stayed for longer. One downside was the pool area which is more of a dipping pool and there was a bit of scramble to find a sun bed in the sun! Would highly recommend and would go again. Only other downside is that smoking is allowed in some parts of the hotel.

The best location! Staff is extremely polite and helpful. We had a room facing the pool and one thing that was a bit annoying is that the music speakers at the pool were going late into the evening and we had to call to get them to turn it off. (Which they did every time) but after 10 pm, please turn off the music outside.
