Timothy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is conveniently located near to the bus terminal so making it ideal for arrival & departure from airport. We loved the central location with everything a short stroll away incl shops, cafes & quay etc. Staff were very welcoming & helpful when needed. Our room was lovely, big, quiet, clean & serviced regularly. Thank you for a lovely stay & we will definitely be booking again for our future visits to La Rochelle

We had an enjoyable stay in this very authentic La Rochelle Mansion. Staff was very attentive to details. Breakfast could have been a bit more exciting.

Walked in and was told “welcome home”. I believed it. Lovely stay. Hotel was clean, food was excellent. Staff were lovely.
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty good - great location

First time to La Rochelle - had to use a public car park but it's just a street away. Off season so a skeleton staff - friendly and good English- but tiny part-time bar and expensive breakfast we didn't try. Had a nice terrace over looking a garden that was a touch... post apocalyptic- but it was quiet and the room we had all we needed. Lovely spacious building and very nicely located.
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

classed as a four start which is stretching a little - although clean and resnably comfortable the room we had really didnt live up to a four star hotel room - a shower over a very narrow bath, the shower itself was a trickle and the towels nearly threadbare and very thin. The bed was in an alcove of sorts and quite difficult to move around it. parking was offsite, quite close but a public carpark
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at reception were faultlessly kind and helpful. The building has maintained its history in the public rooms. The bedroom was very clean, a comfortable large bed and fully equipped bathroom. The hotel was located quietly away from the busy shopping streets but within a short walk of Place du Verdun, Le Marche and the old port. Would highly recommend for a stay in beautiful La Rochelle

I was woken be the people in the room above walking about.
Nadine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Convenient but shabby public areas.

Tired public areas, they were short staffed so bar was closed. Rooms nice and newly decorated. You could see the hotel was nice in its day with some classical features. Very convenient location. Claimed ‘parking available’ but very limited space so we parked in the public car park 2mins walk away which was very good; big spaces.
Ian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hôtel very simple

It is not a 4 stars hotel at all more 3 stars. No frigo in the room, no coffee machine only cheap instant coffee, no robe, very cheap an almost dark towel like a motel. Hotel inside is very nice with a nice garden where you could take a drink. Staff is very nice and help full. Should increase comfort in the room. Very sad a nice hotel like this with so poor amenities.

Pequeño Hotel muy bien situado, habitación buena, personal amable y jardín excepcional para desayuno o descanso. Imperdonable que un hotel así no proporcione agua en la habitación, ni siquiera de pago ni nevera.

Très bon séjour!!

Excellent établissement avec un accueil irréprochable! Leger bémol concernant l’exposition de la suite qui donnait directement sur la cour de l’hôtel et ses occupants… en effet malgré la présence de rideaux, il a fallu que je tire le double rideau pour préserver ma confidentialité…
