Très bon hôtel pour séjourner à La Rochelle
Pros:

Très bel hôtel idéalement situé sur le vieux port.
Le personnel très sympathique et à l’écoute.
La chambre vue piscine était très confortable et surtout très calme ce qui est appréciable dans un environnement festif (bars et restaurants avec terrasse)

A pleasant stay at a great location
Pros:

Location was great. Staff were pleasant. The room we had was fine.

Cons:

The room allocated as a twin room for our friends was too small so they opted for the larger room with a super king bed and a sofa bed.

Extremely comfortable stay in a great location for exploring La Rochelle, but better if you go without your own vehicle
Pros:

Great location for central access to restaurants and old town etc. staff were friendly breakfast was good. Bed was huge and the room was spacious! Also a comfy mattress was provided with the travel cot we requested which was very much appreciated as they can be very firm without this!

Cons:

Parking really quite inconvenient access wise, I probably wouldn’t stay here again if I was driving but absolutely would if I was using public transport. The bar was closed on Monday night which seems strange given there are guests still staying on Mondays? Not an issue just odd. No food available in evenings so we had to go out, not end of the world as you are so close to many many other restaurants in town but just means a little more effort required when travelling with a baby. Finally our room was between floors which meant we had to go up or down half a flight of stairs for access which was challenging when arriving and checking out with lots of luggage and a baby.
