Everything was well prepared and there was great initiative from the staff who prepared a baby cot for us that we had not requested. The room was very comfortable and the staff super helpful.

Nice but standard
A lovely hotel if your into spa treatments. If not then you could find as nice a hotel at a cheaper rate. It is a nice hotel but really a basic lay out, not much different than a travelodge but with better decoration.

Wonderful stay
We used Central Park hotel as a stop over on our way further south. We are a family with 2 young children (aged 4&6) and stayed in a family room which has a second bedroom with twin beds. It was so fantastic! Amazing to be able to put the children to bed and not have to go to sleep ourselves!
A really friendly hotel, we speak only a little French and everyone was so accommodating and encouraging of our French!
The room was perfect and breakfast delicious.
We walked into La Rochelle old town easily.
I would absolutely stay again and heartily recommend.

Nice, new hotel in walking distance from city center but in a quite neighborhood.
We had a standard room, not very big but had everything. Ii just mist place to open your suitcases.
In de room we couldn’t sit( only on the bed) but in de lounge downstairs you could sit.
The hotel has no parking on own ground, but we could park very nearby

From check in the staff were excellent throughout the stay. Very accommodating and helpful. Good breakfast, and comfortable bed. Room was good, apart from not being able to have the air conditioning below 22 degrees. For me that is too warm at night. Ok during the day, but not for sleeping.
