The hotel has a fantastic location, just a short walk from the city center and conveniently located across from the train station. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they felt a bit cramped, especially for two adults with luggage. The service was friendly and efficient, but it was a bit unusual having check-in at the bar while the reception was closed. Overall, it's a nice place for the price, but not without its quirks.

The room was clean and had a comfy bed, but it felt a bit on the cramped side for two adults and our suitcases. The small balcony overlooking Avenue General de Gaulle was a nice touch.

The staff were all very nice and efficient, though we initially had an unfriendly welcome from the receptionist. Despite that, it improved once we were checked in at the bar during the evening.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its perfect location just a short walk from the old port, which made it easy to explore La Rochelle. The rooms were clean and comfy, though a little outdated, but the balcony was a nice bonus! The service was lovely, except for a slightly unfriendly welcome at check-in. Overall, it's a great value for money place, but be prepared for some noise during weekdays.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which offers great value for money, especially for the extremely well-priced twin rooms. The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk from the old port, making it convenient while still being quiet at night. However, I found the service to be a bit hit-or-miss, with some staff being friendly while others were unhelpful. Overall, while the basics are covered nicely, additional amenities would have made my experience even better.
Rooms

The twin rooms were extremely well priced, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows without any sheer curtains, which could be a bit concerning at night. However, they had a large opening window for fresh air.

I stayed at this hotel and found some great things about it, but there were also a few downsides. The location is ideal for exploring La Rochelle, and the staff was incredibly friendly, especially when I needed help finding my lost phone. However, the rooms were quite cramped and warm, and the breakfast options were limited and needed to be paid for in advance. Overall, it has good value for money, but some improvements would make it even better.

The rooms were extremely well priced, but they were cramped and very warm. I felt like mine was badly placed in the middle of the staircase, away from others, which wasn’t ideal.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, mainly due to its great location near the town center and railway station. The rooms were small and a bit musty, but they were clean. The staff was really friendly, and the service was excellent with the team willing to help with any language barriers. However, I did find that the breakfast options could use a bit more variety and overall, some amenities like Wi-Fi came at an extra cost.
