My specific requirements we to find a place in the old city, near the old port area, that had parking (since we drove there) and would accommodate a small dog. There were a few options and we went by the Yachtman Hotel facing the old... More

We checked in rather late, at about 8 pm to this hotel. It is located about ten minutes walk from the La Rochelle Train Station. It is a hotel in between row of shops and just in front of a marina. It is a simple check in, access to the room however is through a passageway and a cramp elevator.... More

The hotel is well situated on the harbour front and shares secure parking (€10 per day) with a hotel about 100 metres away. Check in was friendly and efficient. Our French is good but lots of the staff speak English if required. Our room, with tiny balcony, was clean and tidy and overlooked the rear courtyard and pool. Rooms at... More

This hotel is well situated, on the front and close to the Aquarium and bike hire place (real bargain with first 2 hours free), yet on the periphery of the busiest part. The staff are very polite, mostly English speaking and do their best to help. Buffet breakfast was a good experience as was the swimming pool. Rooms clean. Some... More

The pool was not 100% the cleanest , however it was great to have a swim after our cycling and... More

Comfortable, friendly, helpful and well-situated hotel in La Rochelle. Breakfasts good, small outdoor pool is a bonus. Shopping in La Rochelle is good, and the Aquarium just down the road is really fantastic - has a really good and reasonably priced restaurant (not canteen, proper restaurant) too. The tour of the towers is also a good way to spend time.... More

La Rochelle is a great destination but is not blessed with great hotels. From choice I would probably suggest staying out of town. However this isn't practical without a car or an understanding of the efficient but quirky public transport system. This hotel has been taken over and renovated recently. The room we had overlooking the pool was quite small... More

A well situated, clean hotel with an excellent breakfast buffet. The biggest selling point was the friendliness of the staff. Nice little lounge to have a drink. Not fancy, not brilliant. Adequate and efficient. Just not memorable. La Rochelle has a surprising amount of dog toting alcoholic/homeless types. The kind who feel threatening, but who probably aren't. Also a surprising...
