    It was an experience stepping back into a time long gone , you could imagine been there during the war , if them walls could talk they could tell you some stories, done the job for a group of lads for one night , rooms were clean and tidy bathroom very clean Perfect for us but not for a romantic or long stay

    Room faced on to old port so there was some noise at night.

    Unbeatable location, well priced. Sizeable, clean room with nice bathroom. Room cleaned and bedding made up every morning.Booking in and out straightforward. Would use again.

    Very noisy at night. People partying until 4 the next day. No air conditioning so had to have windows open. Had a leak in the toilet and couldn’t shut the door properly either. Managed to stop the leak, overflowing cistern, but it did make a mess, couldn’t report it as it was about 3am and no one around when went downstairs.

    Right in the heart of La Rochelle. Rooms were above a cafe/restaurant. Overlooking the harbour and the square. Very pretty. Parking was in a public underground car park but it was quite inexpensive to stay all day and night.

    Room very dated and needing repairs - shower leaked out onto floor when in use. No air conditioning and with location, got very noisy when leaving windows open some night to try cool room. Place could benefit from some repairs/modernisation as paint and wallpaper damaged/peeling in room and stairwell.

    Great location, close to aquarium and other attractions. Good price.

    Parking was awkward, we had to use an underground multi-storey. The next day we struggled to find a way in and it took us awhile to get our car back.

    Amazing double doors and little balcony, overlooking the harbour and sea fort. La Rochelle is the city that never sleeps, and the most vibrant place in France that we’ve visited. The rest was usual budget standard. Bed was comfortable, staff friendly and kind. Children’s play park right opposite, by the harbour.

    No bath tub plug or shower curtain.

    Good location. Nice view from the room. As it is located by the main harbour, it is nosey especially in the night. (lots of restaurants and bars below), but there were double windows which did well to block the noise.

    Great place in an excellent location

    Rooms are older and a bit dated so not the most luxurious. However, for the price of the stay and perfect location this is not a major issue at all. Rooms are warm in the summer too with no AC so you need to leave the door open, which can be noisy at night outside. But when the doors are closed, the soundproofing is really good!

    Perfect central location right on the harbour, close to plenty shops, cafés and restaurants. Room is older and a bit dated, but also some of the rooms have balcony views of the harbour which is definitely worth it.

    We were unable to leave our bags for an hour when we arrived a bit early, but they did then let us check in earlier than the specified time.

    The noise levels in the street outside meant we were very sleep deprived! Did not mind the buzz of the local restaurants and live music the problem was groups of teens/young adults who played their music (amplified) and were yelling until about 4am - this happened each night we were there. No sign of police or anyone else trying to enforce peace and quiet. Such a shame - perhaps we were unlucky with our timings but we had to keep the window open as it was so hot. The room and bathroom was cramped with minimal storage - no where to hang damp towels or anything. A few rails and hooks would be useful.

    Great location on the harbour and about a 10 minute flat walk from the train station. Nice restaurant and bar on a corner location. Very easy to walk everywhere. Two double beds was great (most twin beds were like planks in other French hotels) but they did fill the room! We had nice meals in the restaurant but there is a great choice in the immediate neighbourhood.
