Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt im Saint Nicolas. Das Hotel ist aufwendig und wertig renoviert und das sieht man an jeder Ecke. Auch das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom Frühstücksbuffet, da dieses (vor allem im Vergleich mit dem französischen Standard) eine breite Auswahl bietet und zusätzlich die Speisen von hoher Qualität sind. Das Hotel hat eine super Lage und man kann von dort La Rochelle sehr gut zu Fuß erkunden, es gibt Parkplätze direkt am Hotel diese sollte man jedoch im Vorhinein reservieren.

Key to our stay was the provision of secure parking. The hotel was exceptionally clean and staff were particularly helpful. Albeit the rooms were well kitted out, we did find the toilet quite cramped. English tea would be useful along with some fresh milk for the rooms, may be a small fridge would assist. We would most definitely stay upon our next visit.

Lovely hotel. Perfect location and very pretty and modern hotel. Staff were exceptional. Amazing cocktails late in the evening from 24 hour reception and helpful throughout. Room was compact but everything you need and great shower. Free sparkling water on tap in the hallway. Bus from the airport drops you off seconds from the hotel.
