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.

Hôtel bien situé et agréable
Pros:

L'emplacement, le petit déjeuner et la gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

La chambre est trop petite pour un 4☆. Les lits se touchent et on a tout juste la place de part et d'autre. Il serait difficile d'y prendre le petit déjeuner

On the whole an enjoyable stay at hotel. Pierre was very helpful sorting us out.
Pros:

Good lounge to sit in. Position of hotel in La Rochelle.

Cons:

Small ladder in swimming too steep. Not enough food in breakfast, didn't always get replace once used up eg fruit in bowl, if you came in later not fruit left. Sometimes tables weren't cleared and relayed quickly enough. Looked a mess.

Pros:

The staff and the reception area.The safe in the bedroom and the tea/coffee and kettle provided in the bedroom and also the fridge with water provided.

Cons:

Breakfast was very basic and far too expensive for what was on offer.
The showers are terrible as the floor gets totally flooded when you shower.They need to be enclosed showers.
The bathroom products were very sparce.

Pros:

Rien à redire. C’était parfait, autant que le cadre que le personnel.

Cons:

Le seul commentaire négatif serait la localisation du parking mais la situation géographique de l’hôtel l’explique tout à fait.
