Key to our stay was the provision of secure parking. The hotel was exceptionally clean and staff were particularly helpful. Albeit the rooms were well kitted out, we did find the toilet quite cramped. English tea would be useful along with some fresh milk for the rooms, may be a small fridge would assist. We would most definitely stay upon our next visit.

Lovely hotel, great staff. Highly recommend

Lovely hotel. Perfect location and very pretty and modern hotel. Staff were exceptional. Amazing cocktails late in the evening from 24 hour reception and helpful throughout. Room was compact but everything you need and great shower. Free sparkling water on tap in the hallway. Bus from the airport drops you off seconds from the hotel.

Great hotel

Lovely hotel in the heart of La Rochelle. We had a room in the annexe which was good because at the time there were extensive renovations taking place to the exterior of the main building which was shrouded in green fabric. Internally it was renovated I believe last year to a very high standard and was modern whilst retaining many original features. Parking available on site is a must, at an extra cost, but is well worth the charge. Breakfast was plentiful and very busy but we always managed to get a good table. The staff were all extremely efficient and although their English was better than our French, they let us persevere in French, at our request. Lots of good restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. Really can’t fault this hotel. We would definitely book again on future visits.

This has to be the nicest hotel in La Rochelle!! The staff, day and night, were very helpful and super nice! The hotel was redone a year ago, and it shows! The rooms are so beautifully appointed and modern! The location is perfect, four minutes walk to the Vieux Port and city center. They have a few things for dinner, which was very convenient (and good!) for our late (ish) arrival. They have several parking spots for guests, which again, was very convenient. Loved, loved this hotel!!
