Beautiful building , small bedroom.
Pros:

Bed was very comfortable. Nice to be able to sit outside and see the garden.
Beautiful dining room.

The bedroom was very small with only one bedside table and the very appreciated kettle was on a knee high table.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
Pros:

LEAVING!

Cons:

ABSOLUTELY FILTHY!!! What looks like faeces on the carpet lights that don’t work broken toilet flush blood on curtains and very unhelpful and RUDE manager!!! Looks good on booking.com photos but in reality it’s best to completely avoid and if you do stay and have a problem seek help from Matthis as he is calm reasonable and friendly and did his best to help us when we had no choice but to cancel our booking leaving us without a hotel in a city we didn’t know when we arrived due to the issues. The manager Fanny said we were being difficult and a problem and if it were her she would except the room and get on and have a “good time” she was so rude it left me in tears! She went home rather then stay and resolve the issue wouldn’t give us an immediate refund to rebook accommodation somewhere else that night was dishonest about the cancellation process with booking.com and the list goes on we don’t feel she is management material!

Delightful stay in a lovely hotel.
Pros:

Beautiful typically French chic' type hotel (but not stuffy!) Full of character. Garden was a tranquil oasis and it was a treat to take the lovely breakfast in the garden. Lovely room and escalator useful as I had hurt my leg.
It was a 15 minute walk to the old harbour area, and the market area with restaurants was even closer. Car park not far.
Staff always pleasant and attentive, particularly the young man on reception when we arrived on the Monday evening.

Cons:

A fridge in the room would have been nice perhaps.

Pros:

Die Lage am Rande der Akltstadt. Ein sehr stilvolles altes Hotel mit sehr schönen Interieurs, grozügige Timmer. ein schöner großzügiger Garten.

Cons:

Wir hatten eine Suite für drei Erwachsende gebucht, musstren aber egen technischer Problene
me ein etwas beengtes Zimmer mit Doppelbett und Schlafcouch nehmen. Das war nicht das wir gewollt und bezahlt hatten

La Rochelle ist immer gut für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt; das Hotel taugt eher für eine kurze Etappe
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist gut; das Personal ist freundlich.

Cons:

Das Hotel verfügt nicht über eigene Parkmöglichkeiten,
man wird auf öffentliche Parkplätze verwiesen, das war dort früher anders, man konnte dort, direkt neben dem Hotel, in einem privaten Parkhaus, das nachts verschlossen war, parken.

Een ei hoort erbij
Pros:

De kamer. Ondanks we via Booking.com hadden geboekt kregen wij een upgrade naar een prachtige grote kamer.

Cons:

Het ontbijt was prima maar de keuze in eieren viel tegen. Alleen roer eieren. Ik vroeg een gekookt ei maar die was bijna niet gekookt en loei heet dus niet in koud water gelegd en het velletje kreeg je er niet af. Dus dat was jammer.

Hotel agradable silencioso y buena ubicacion
Pros:

Nos gustó el silencio. Esta retirado pero muy fácil llegar al centro 10 minutos. Tiene un jardín bosque q te da paz. Las escalinatas de la entrada son preciosas. Teníamos una suite q daba al jardín. La cana comodisima. El servicio de bar cocina cierra pronto. A las mascotas les dejan agua y chuches. Un buena experiencia.

Cons:

Por decir algo, el servicio de bar/cocina cierra muy pronto.
