A cut above - dreamy position on the harbour, and facilities and comfort to match.
Pros:

This was a bonus for us - we had broken down and had an allowance for accomodation, so threw caution to the wind and headed to La Rochelle for the night. What a total joy. The hotel was a true highlight even of a gem like La Rochelle and contributed in no small way to how much we enjoyed it. Welcoming staff, an incredible family room with massive comfortable beds over looking the pool, and a breakfast buffet to dream of. Granted there may have been a slight bias as we were there effectively for free, but nonetheless we couldn't have been happier and might even go back at our own cost in future!

Cons:

Really nothing - it was a total treat.

La Rochelle Au Plus Près Du Port !
Pros:

L'hôtel est très bien situé, le parking proche est un plus. La piscine et l'air conditionné étaient des éléments de notre sélection.
Le personnel est très aimable, accueillant, souriant et chaleureux. Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour.

Cons:

Rien !

Ma chambre était très bien Lit très confortable, salle de bains très bien. deux téléviseurs, top ! Les téléphones n'étaient pas encore installés, ce qui n'était pas très commode, mais les travaux reprennent.
Globalement; très bon endroit, confortable au personne très sympathique.

Fräscht hotell med fint läge
Pros:

Mycket fräscht hotell som ligger vid innerhamnen. Pool. Riklig frukost. Rimligt pris om man åker off season.

Great location. Big comfy bed. Immaculate.
Pros:

Great location right on the quay. Comfortable bed and big bathroom. View of the pool and beyond to the towers. Fab sunset. Staff very helpful. Especially with the tricky parking situation of sight. A perfect place to stay.

Cons:

Because of the location a little tricky getting into the quay area to drop bags and then go to parking area. Yet all help was offered. So it wouldn’t put me off.
