Hotel was in a perfect location for central La Rochelle. Room was suitable for what we needed. Hotel front and rooms were dated and in need of some TLC although good value for money and just a base so no issues.

Short stay in La Rochelle

Good night stay in this hotel close to the action. Older place with nice staff, good breakfast for 10 euros. The mattress was not very comfortable and the wifi accessible only in the common places. Reasonable price, was really ok.

I recently stayed in this hotel for four nights. The location is superb, I arrived by train, as it is less than five minutes walk from station, and less than five minutes walk to the town which is full of great bars and restaurants and many interesting buildings to look at. The staff are very friendly, mostly English speaking. The room was very comfortable, and my balcony view was some trees. The optional breakfast was very good value. The bathroom was clean and practical. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting La Rochelle.

Pas d’air climatisé, ventilation insuffisante pendant la canicule. Douche trop petite. Lot trop court pour un homme de 6’2. Personnel avenant et souriant. Très bon déjeuner. Emplacement super. Pendant les Francofolies, à éviter si vous voulez la tranquillité.

L'hôtel n'est pas de première jeunesse, mais est très bien. Les chambres sont spacieuses, les lits confortables, le petit déjeuner est très bien. Franchement, pour le prix, je recommande vivement. De plus qu'il est très bien placé à deux trois cents mètres du port.
