Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I loved the aesthetic with twin beds on the mezzanine floor. The lack of air conditioning or a fan made it quite hot during the summer, though the room size was a bit smallish. The service was exceptional with accommodating and English-speaking staff, although the parking situation was a bit chaotic at arrival. The location was ideal for exploring La Rochelle and its attractions, just a short walk from the peaceful marina. While the dining experience was nothing special, the continental breakfast was adequate. The facilities were basic but sufficient for a short stay.
