Short stay in La Rochelle
Good night stay in this hotel close to the action. Older place with nice staff, good breakfast for 10 euros. The mattress was not very comfortable and the wifi accessible only in the common places. Reasonable price, was really ok.

Ok hotel close to the train station
The hotel is located centrally and very close to the train station. The overall value however is average especially when you compare the price to fact that the rooms are not very big, the furniture is a bit dated and the bathroom a bit minimalist.

Located close to railway station and bus stops although a fair walk into town centre and not the nicest of areas at night....It is a no frills, basic hotel which provides a comfortable if small room and very basic bathroom.Very friendly staff and a reasonable breakfast buffet. You have to pay up front on arrival which is unusual.Part of a chain of hotels bearing this name.....there were lots of French people staying which gave it a very family feel. It did what we needed to do(provide somewhere to sleep and waah) but with a very basic feel.

Nice room close to Old Port
Nice little room for a family, although the staircase going to second level inside the room was super steep and scary for kids. We put some chairs at the top and some pillows at the bottom just in case.

Good place to stay in La Rochelle
We stayed here in La Rochelle over Bastille Day (14July) and France's victory at the World Cup Final (15 July 2018) and I don't think we could have chosen a better place. It s nicely situated between the railway station and the harbour / Big Wheel area and the staff were welcoming and helpful, despite all the joyous distractions outside!

Simple and clean with a great location
This is a comfortable, budget place located right next to the bustling harbor but far enough away to keep things peaceful. It's a somewhat worn, simple property but the service is very helpful and the price is great for what you are getting. Despite the slightly worn facilities, everything was kept spotless. So, a pleasant, simple place at at the right price. Perfect for family travel. One big piece of advice: If you want to get paid, and much cheaper parking in the hotel rather the surrounding garages, you need to come earlier in the day as the lot only holds about a dozen cars. Breakfast is meh, and I recommend skipping the fee and instead eating at one of the nice cafes and bakeries along the harbor.

Great location and, therefore, probably good value
Good parking. Great location. Good staff. Good value. Room very small and bed a bit uncomfortable. You get what you pay for.

Nice hotel in excellent location.
This hotel is a budget hotel but is comfortable and clean. There is a car park and the location is excellent, just behind the aquarium and a short walk into town. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside is the breakfast, which is poor. There is very little choice and the quality of the food is only ok at best. We have stayed before and knew this so went to cafes for breakfast instead. Overall would recommend.

La Rochelle stop over
Great location, central to everything. Sadly Hotel car park was full so we had to use a public car park which cost us 18 euros instead of 11 euros at the hotel.

4/10 Fair

Great location...Mostly everything else was lousy
Cons: The entire hotel was like a sauna, having trapped the heat in from the previous week. There was the tiniest of fans on the desk which was completely worthless. I had a door to a balcony and no other window, and although it was nice having a balcony, if you leave the door open, bugs come flying in since there is no screen. Even though the balcony itself was cool and comfortable no air made its way into the room even with the door ajar. There was a TV that I couldn't turn on. The entire floor smelled awful. The bathroom lights flickered. Pros: The WiFi worked fairly well and the location was fantastic! Also, the shower had good water pressure and temperature.

Value for money
we stayed here on our way back to Spain. Excellent location for the harbour and restaurants. Staff very polite and accommodating. The room was clean although in need of refurbishment. We would certainly stay here again. The parking was not secure at night.

Good value hotel close to old town.
This hotel is attractive and very well placed. The old harbour is five minutes walk away as is the aquarium and there is a car park at the hotel with an allocated place so no worries about going out and finding a place on your return. It is good value and I would definitely stop there again. The only down side is the breakfast which was one of the poorest breakfasts we've ever had in France - there was nothing to eat! There was cheap bread and cheap supermarket croissants, a few slices of cheap tinned ham which were hidden under a lidded dish and when found and taken were replaced, on request, with another four or five slices to feed the entire room. There was a bit of cheap cheese, highlight was Baby Bel, and one day even that wasn't there so I had to ask for some. The lady gave me a Baby Bel and didn't put any more on the buffet table. There was stacks of natural yogurt but fruit yogurts also seemed to be on ration. Having said that the staff were friendly and I did like the hotel and will return, but I really wish they'd do something about the breakfasts!
