Great hotel with pleasant lobby and bar. The location is near le port so no need for a car once you are settled in in your hotel. You can visit the city by foot.
Excellent staff, spoke multiple languages so easy to communicate! Very reasonably priced bar! Fabulous location! Clean and very comfortable rooms. Would highly recommend to anyone going to La Rochelle!
Excellent location, minutes from the harbour and waterfront with La Rochelle's multiple dining options and attractions. Great staff, comfortable modern rooms and on site parking a real bonus.
Key to our stay was the provision of secure parking. The hotel was exceptionally clean and staff were particularly helpful.
Albeit the rooms were well kitted out, we did find the toilet quite cramped.
English tea would be useful along with some fresh milk for the rooms, may be a small fridge would assist.
We would most definitely stay upon our next visit.
Lovely hotel. Perfect location and very pretty and modern hotel. Staff were exceptional. Amazing cocktails late in the evening from 24 hour reception and helpful throughout. Room was compact but everything you need and great shower. Free sparkling water on tap in the hallway. Bus from the airport drops you off seconds from the hotel.
This was such a lovely hotel - very clean and nicely decorated. The rooms were beautiful too.
The staff were very helpful and we actually upgraded our room. The location was perfect for us, everything we needed was nearby and is was a short walk to the marina.Would definitely book again.

Good location to many restaurants but very small rooms.
Returned after a gap of a few years to find this boutique hotel as delightful as ever. Had many years spending a few nights there before moving onto the Ile de Re. Our ‘happy place’. Used to drive from Southampton via Cherbourg but in future will fly from Manchester.
This has to be the nicest hotel in La Rochelle!! The staff, day and night, were very helpful and super nice! The hotel was redone a year ago, and it shows! The rooms are so beautifully appointed and modern! The location is perfect, four minutes walk to the Vieux Port and city center. They have a few things for dinner, which was very convenient (and good!) for our late (ish) arrival. They have several parking spots for guests, which again, was very convenient. Loved, loved this hotel!!
