Everything was really fantastic, the hotel location was near a park and within a 10 minute walk of the main port area of La Rochelle. The staff were really nice and helpful. They were all great but Olivier was particularly outstanding, he was extremely helpful, friendly and professional throughout our stay. He provided us with clear and informative advise, giving us Restaurant recommendations, and his walm and welcoming manor made us feel valued as guests. Olivier is a real credit to the hotel and made a very positive impression on us. We were also very happy with everyone who worked at the hotel, the cleaners, reception and breakfast team were all helpful and amazing. The breakfast was also an exceptional 5 star breakfast buffet with an impressive variety of fresh high quality options. The room was a lovely suite that was spacious, comfortable and well presented with plenty of room to relax. The bed in particular was comfortable.

"Clean, safe hotel."

Dj G, 15 Août 2026

Clean and very safe‑feeling hotel. The bed was comfortable and the air‑conditioning was bliss. The room itself was spotless.There was an issue with the boiler one evening, which meant no hot water — definitely inconvenient — but the hotel handled it professionally. They informed us at reception and even called my mobile to let me know. The boiler was fixed by the next morning.As an apology, we were offered either a free glass of wine (they had a great selection) or an hour in the spa. We chose the spa, and the facilities were excellent. We enjoyed the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and the rainforest shower

An excellent choice of Hotel for someone who wants to be near the station, next to the bus stop, and in the Centre of town. Everything within walking distance. Extremely well located. The staff are very polite and very helpful. The breakfast is awesome: a huge array of food. The rooms are clean and large. I thought the property was good value for money.

"A Taste of Luxury"

BillParis, 25 Juillet 2026

We stayed two nights in this very well-appointed hotel. The decor in both its public areas and bedrooms is to a very high standard - don't expect the chain hotel look! We greatly appreciated the a/c in the midst of a long hot summer and the walk-in shower was very spacious and practical. The brand new rooms in the new-build 'annex' attached are excellent though some might find them a little on the small side for a longer stay. The bedding was top quality and the bed itself very comfortable. Great, professional service from the team (including housekeeping) and all in a convenient location which is quiet despite its closeness to all attractions. I would thoroughly recommend.

The hotel was cleaned and the location was great. However we were in room 204 this room has A/C but you can't open the window which was a big issue for me and it wasn't mentioned during the booking. I won't come back.
