A great hotel for a short stop over, not luxurious but everything you’d need plus a bit more.
Pros:

The staff were extremely helpful and generally pleasant people, giving us great recommendations for places to eat in La Rochelle. Breakfast at the hotel was really good. The pool was a nice addition, especially when travelling with kids. Room was comfy, water readily available upstairs and ground floor in cooled water dispensers. Great location for exploring the city. Nice informal feel to this hotel. Really liked the quirky toilet signs.

Cons:

The air con in our room could be improved. Couldn’t seem to turn it up any more, better air con would definitely add to the comfort level in the room. Drinking water provided in the room would be nice. While the hotel was clean, it didn't have that gleaming feel to it.
